scotland Scotland Regional Discussion - Autumn 2013

[JoeShmoe]

Was a lovely morning on the train from Embra down to Newcastle this morning but next week looks pretty filthy for Fireworks events

[NUT]

Started nice but cold now though winds picked up and rain is falling (a sign of things to come perhaps)

[Buriedundersnow]

would anyone know how I get to look back at threads from last winter mostly December and January as I seem to have lost my 2010 snow pics when my comp packed in and would like to find them again as know I posted them on here last winter

Pretty sharp burst of rain crossing over now

[Buriedundersnow]

[Northernlights]

Cold starry night out there just now, currently5.5c with a small auroral display over the Firth to the north.

Looks like October is going to pass without a frost up here.  They've had one down in Glenrothes but it needs to be a degree or two cooler still before we'll get one on the hill.  Last year we'd already had frosts, subzero temperatures and falling snow

nevis range tweeted this it must be today

Just been woken up by a series of very bright  flashes to the west with clear starry skies here . Just had a look at the radar to see a band of  torrential rain  to the west with lots of lightning srtikes on the lightning detector map. I have an explanation. Currently 5.5c  .

NL, we had a great thunderstorm here in the wee small hours! This was followed by very heavy hail showers and our power went off sometime during the night too. We've just had another very heavy hail shower coming out of nowhere. It was clear a wee while ago and then suddenly hail the size of huge gobstoppers started falling. A grand end to October! Just checked the lightning detector map and it shows more Kerash, Bang and Wallop heading to Skye. Could be a lively morning!

Blustery showers here this morning andquite breezy, generally Force 5 gusting Force 7

[Hairy Celt]

No thud or blunder here overnight.  Nice morning, milder than yesterday, and doesn't look like it's about to bugger off downhill like yesterday.  Bloody hell, sheep are hefted aren't they?  Trying to move them on is like trying to keep the tides out.  Or the rain off.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Just heard a big rumble in the distance here in Riccarton, near Edinburgh Airport.

 

Pishin doon.

 

Blawing a fair bit tae.

[NUT]

Dark skies came over us. Shower came was not that heavy (although still raining) the back edge though was nice! second time this week seen something like this

[Ceitidh]

One boom of thunder here just as the school came out at 3.50 followed by horizontal hail - back to just hissing it down now lol.  Kids are like drowned rats. 

[NUT]

Sky with the sun out (yes sun out) rain pouring down and dark cloud to the east looks stunning. Rainbow soon me thinks

[Mesosphere]

Just had a huge rumble of thunder here out of nowhere and teamed it down with hail. Road is covered 

[A Winter's Tale]

Sky with the sun out (yes sun out) rain pouring down and dark cloud to the east looks stunning. Rainbow soon me thinks

 

There was a rainbow here about 5 mins ago. Lovely pale light blue sky overhead moving east and beautiful purple/pink colours reflecting off the back edge of the rain cloud to the east. Around an hour ago it was quite wild with heavy, driving rain and some fairly strong gusts of wind.

[Northernlights]

First really wintery feeling day with sharp showers, towering cloudscapes and a blustery wind.A maximum of 6.5c  added to the seasonal feel. Hills must have got a  reasonable cap of snow today but have been too cloud covered to see.

[BleakMidwinter]

Second day in a row with glorious sun, only light breezes and feeling very mild out. Second day in a row to turn, mid-afternoon, to darkness and heavy showers, cold and the wind blustery from all directions, strong gusts and cutting right through you. Remind me tomorrow to nip out to the shops in the morning rather than leaving it til teatime, eh?
