I wonder if anything's due to hit us. It's cloudier here now I assume that to do with the front pushing down

It must be an emotional time for the farmers affected, dead (or poor) crops would be financially devestating but there must be an extra emotional attachment when livestock are involved?

Aye, that sunrise was nothing short of spectacular good.gif

Snow showers anyone?

Yes there are probably a few stressed out farmers just now and you are right the animal losses will be the hardest to bear. Many of the herds and flocks taking years to build up especially where sheep are hefted to the hill .In this case this means being born on the hill they never stray far from their birthplace all their lives only being rounded up to clip and wean and so do not need fences on the high hills. These sheep are almost irreplaceable.

Currently 1c and we have dry large flakes of snow falling again after a day of occasional wet snow.

GFS show some heavy precipitation Wed/Thu from the low SW of Ireland tracking east too.

Unsure about snow yet and Scotland specifically, I'll need to dig deeper into it.

Never ending story, feels like...

Never ending story indeed, I know it's deep in FI (Di-Fi?), but how about this for a northerly? The 850s are as cold as -10ºC as far south as Edinburgh at one point.

The Northern Hemisphere chart is a cracker:

I can detect what's wrong with the weather, look at the alien in the Atlantic...

All just a bit of fun, but with the way this season has gone you really wouldn't bet your life against it, would you? :lol:

Perhaps some light precip overnight, the front is pushing south so you never know. Don't dust down the sledge though :)

Just watching the programme on BBC2 on 50 years of the Cairngorm MRT. Although I really appreciated these guys' work seeing some of the "on sight" action from February really hammers home just how dangerous the conditions can be at night or indeed in severe weather. They're just your matter of fact kind of guys, "just doing a job" but what a job. It must be rewarding and saddening at times but what a wonderful service and job they do.

Sky clearing frost on its way. A couple of wildlife observations 10 to 15000 geese landed in a field I had shut up for early grazing stripped it barer than it was and left it covered in green and white droppings (positive view they fertilised the field)Lots of roe deer grazing out in fields in the open on sheltered south facing areas during the day(normally shy daytime feeders)as woods have no grass left in them. All wildlife is very hungry just now.

Watched that also, pretty revealing, conditions looked brutal above the cloud base, that and just half an hour away from the car park. The mountains and weather really are unforgiving. Amazing work and effort.

Indeed and mostly funded by donations too, so if anyone one wants to show their support, I am sure they will appreciate it. good.gif

Felt pleasant in the sun today! Though compared to last year there is very little leaf growth.

Yes that's a good point. No daffs out here yet and there are still carpets of snowdrops everywhere. In April!!??

I am sure last year, blossom was on the trees by late February. This year there still hasn't been any and it's early April. I can't remember blossom not being on the trees by now.

We have a few daffs at the front of the house with yellow buds, but not flowering yet. Snowdrops have survived well under the snow for a couple of weeks. Very light snow here this morning, 0.6ºC.

GFS now showing an utter heatwave Di-Fi:

Latest Met text forecast is far from spring like a week out. Mentions of hill snow and wintry showers are plenty. Only one daffodil out in the garden and still a solitary surviving snow patch.
