Light snow here... Wahay!

[Buriedundersnow]

jeez it cold the day.

 

just in and drove through a snow shower at Kincardine hopefully we will see some more tonight,

[blitzen]

 

 

Latest ECM looks slightly more interesting, certainly not mild

Yes. When I saw it I thought it would be a great candidate for the next season of Strictly! Who knows, but the 850s would see us with some nice night time frosts?

[November13]

Looks like sleet and ran now.some lower cameras showing snow though?

[NUT]

Blink and you miss it snow here. Trying to go back to rain already but a slight covering on the cars

[blitzen]

Hmm....1.9c/-0.2c here. We might catch a few if as LS said earlier  - temps might drop slightly as the front comes over?

 

ETA: With all your reports, I was curious and had a look outside and very light snow has just started here.

Aye, it has been one of the best days of winter so far. Frosty and foggy for most of the day. I love days like that

 

 

yeah so do I but not when I have to go to my mums for sunday roast and have to stand outside to smoke as you tend to feel it more going from hot to cold all the time.

[Blizzardo]

Snow has turned sleety here 2.6c/1.0c.

[Benvironment]

Snowing.....a bit.  What a god-awful winter.

[Hairy Celt]

Nothing still

 

Venison pie, neeps, kale & mash for tea, bloody marvellous. (So was the French wine. )

 

The next debate concerns the solar system: does Uranus have rings?

Double entendre HC? I will play safe and say I haven't got a clue!

Quite interesting to see the BBC weeks forecast just now,Matt Taylor suggested that the chart for Friday that had the incoming Low arriving to the NW of Ireland was now unlikely to verify,and would come in much further South.This looks to me very much like tonights ECM run.

Being a live broadcast it makes you wonder if they have taken into account their own models and the latest ECM has thrown a differant light on events from friday onward.Interesting times,considering fergies earlier update too.

[Polar Gael]

In Crieff: a low of -3.2ºC overnight. Frosty this morning and lingering all day, albeit cloudy, too. 

 

Temp currently 1.6ºC/0ºC and IT'S SNAWING!!!!!!!!!!

 

FINALLY!!!

 

   

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Sleet/rain now  

[Highland Snow]

Precipitation has arrived and it's rain. Temperature +1.2C/+0.7C.

[November13]

Fed up with this marginal stuff.If its marginal forget it in Scotland.1c on thermo and its still rain.Who has put an electric blanket in Scotland's uppers?

[snowy owl]

Slow roasted lamb with anchovies, garlic and rosemary and roasters & Veg. And some lovely wine too:))

 

Where's the snaw went?

Yes, Uranus does have rings but they are very very faint, invisible without some sort of assistance that will involve mirrors. Lol I'm bad, BAD.

 

But what happened to the freezing rain?

Yeah it's about right for me. But a bit pointless cos I knew my height anyway and apparently (according to the feedback), it's not that reliable. For example, there is a range of 3m on the height of Loch Beinn a'Mheadhoin.    or    or

[chemikal]

It would be generous to call what we had earlier sleet.

 

Finally got round watching the 'From The Land To The Sea Beyond' DVD which came with the vinyl album by the band British Sea Power who provide an amazing soundtrack. Some of the footage brings back what was going on over the holidays! The documentary is over an hour in length of old footage from way back when moving pictures first came to be through to modern times.

 

I've found a You Tube link that has a preview so you get the flavour of what to expect.

 

If you like footage of the sea (+great music) and the land it pummels then enjoy!

Hey hey, 6 m higher than I thought apparently.

 

Could make all the difference.
