Well, charts for Saturday/Sunday bring very warm tropical air via a rather deep low W of Ireland.

Temperatures at lower level look to be in the mid teens on Sunday afternoon, so I'd expect the snow to go away pretty fast.

I like snow too and we've been blessed a lot this year but we had to expect warmer temperatures at some point.

Certainly hope so, mid teens and sunshine, the barbies will be oot!

Scraped yet another 'falling snow' day here with the lightest of dustings before the sun got to work. Madness!

Snow pellets in Cupar at 8am, light covering, and 6pm, bit wet.

hopefully this is the start of the double peak that was being forecast and get it out the way before next winter

Another cool start to the day up here in Aberdeenshire. At 8am my car windscreen had a layer of ice frozen on it so I assume we had some rain fall onto it whilst cold. Other than that it's partly sunny with a moderate breeze.

We've been away for a few days, taking advantage of the kids Easter holidays, took the caravan to Grantown On Spey. On Friday we had a wonderful time skiing at Cairngorm. Plenty of snow and although it started a little cloudy in the morning, in the afternoon we had blue skies, sun and virtually no wind. Got warm enough that by the end of the day I was overheating and had to start shedding layers.

Saturday morning we woke up to a frost and again we had a lovely day of mainly blue skies and sunshine, but staying cool. Late Saturday night it started snowing and on Sunday morning we woke up to a cm or two of snow covering every surface except the roads. Real winter wonderland kind of morning with all of the trees white. It snowed on and off most of the day, but lighter in Aviemore where we went on the steam train, but by mid afternoon the overnight covering had melted. Coming home on Monday we passed through a couple of decent snow showers, especially the one as we were heading up the hill at Foundland from Huntly.

Back home on Tuesday morning we woke up to yet again another covering of snow. No real depth to it but enough that most surfaces were white.

So in the last few days I've seen snow falling, or lying, on Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue (of course I'm not going to count Fri at the ski centre). Not bad for April but I'll not be too sad if the predicted 13C for here on Sunday comes off as the garden badly needs some work done on it and I have just no motivation to do it when it's cold.

Pretty miserable morning. 4c, dull, grey, misty with light rain. The forecast for the weekend is particularly uninspiring for SW, Lothian and Borders:

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Mainly dry and bright on Friday. Becoming mild, cloudy, wet and windy on Saturday. Cloudy with rain and strong winds on Sunday.

Issued at: 0400 on Wed 10 Apr 2013

Personally I'd rather have kept the cold and blue skies of recent weeks than have wet, windy and milder. At least I can take the kids to the park in the cold! Let's hope we get some mild sunny weather as payback :-)

Rain this morning, looked like it might have been a snow to rain event as there was what looked like slush on the car windscreens. Bit cold and raw outside and looking very murky over Loch Ard way. Not really looking forward to a warm damp end the current cold.

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain spreading north through the night across all parts and turning to snow over hills and perhaps lower ground too with some accumulations likely. Minimum Temperature 1 C.

Thought this mornings forecast was a tad optimistic.  

 

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain spreading north through the night reaching all parts and perhaps turning to wet snow on higher ground for a time, especially in Dumfriesshire and the Borders Minimum Temperature 1 Â°C.

Fine sunny start to the day and -1c at 6.30am Countryside still very brown and certainly not green the result of every morning this week having a slight air frost. Tomorrows should be the last but a ground frost may return on Tuesday or Wednesday morning next week. All snowdrops still flowering and south facing daffodils starting to flower but stems. are very short while north facing ones behind dykes will probably flower in May. All in all the countryside has the look of late February/ early March just now.

It snowed here last night, but did not stick. It's still the same old feeling to see falling snow, despite the prolonged cold I'm not sick of seeing snowfall, just sick of the constant chill in the air laugh.png

Aye, same here Catch. Feels like every night for the past 4 weeks or so I've had to walk home head down, hood up, into a cold wind from the east. Fed up with it now. I'll happily accept any double-digit temperature that comes our way in the next couple of days...
