Good to see Scotland at least is in full winter mode.. the Highlands much be seeing a very good early cover of snow, great news for the ski resorts. Despite a milder blip mid week, snow on highest ground should consolidate sufficiently thanks to freeze thaw cycle.

 

Hoping somewhere can record -10 degrees tomorrow night, a nice welcome to winter 15/16.

Showers like ships passing in the night here, keep missing them, cars got slushy partially frozen cover on roofs so must have had blast of snow just recently; windscreen is freezing up on my car despite it being quite windy.

Always enjoy reading the Scotland winter discussion thread, conditions often a world away from the benign SE. It never fails to perplex me how many seem to tarnish the UK climate as a whole with what happens in the southern part of England, failing often to note what is happening north of the border and instead bemoaning lack of snow and cold etc. when on our doorstep..

Mother nature at its Winter Best with moonlit snow covered fields.

 

 Incoming snow showers to the west  lit up by the moon and to crown it all snow showers to the north across the Firth backlit by an aurora. Fabulous

Not going to last long but it's pelting it down here again...

[Sunshineandshowers84]

Seen BBC weather there and see a warm front now brushing into Ireland.. It looks likely to just miss us before another warm front pushes in by Tuesday major difference in temperature to come.. It may be wet in places even snow for a time but it saves me dodging these heavy showers of last few days.. Still hoping for some Polar Continental air mass this winter something I only recall we had once last year between Xmas and New Year..

[Ravelin]

Quite a breezy 1.4C under clear skies here. We've only had a slight additional dusting since this afternoon's snap blizzard. What we got then though is still lying, in a frozen crunchy crust.

If we could just get the wind to swing round to a little more of a northerly direction more of those showers might make it to me. But that's probably just being greedy.

heavest snow shower has just went past over here and everthing is all white! looking good for the rest of the night

[NUT]

Heaviest shower of the night rolling through now

[Northern Strath]

Snowed more than not this evening, some heavy prolonged periods and still going strong now so should be a good top up come morning

A9 down to one lane and the information sign south of Inverness reads *Snow gates closed after Tomintoul* which is the always the rubber stamp that the months of winter fun are truly upon us

[lorenzo]

Best showers of the evening, skies have the orange glow and a good covering.

 

Happy St Andrew's Day Everyone - got to love this from google..

Mongoose? Did I miss a cybernat memo? Ekkk, that will be a 100 lashes from Nicola then. 

 

Meanwhile over at Glencoe:

 

[Ross B]

It rained for a good bit last night so all the snow is melted. That weather front coming in looks further north than expected? Maybe a wee surprise for somebody!

[Richard Taylor]

Just a patchy very light dusting here, destined to melt during the day - I wouldn't even call it white!

[Hairy Celt]

The mongooses have mongooseed off!  We have a thin coating of skittery ice on all surfaces!

A wintry scene this morning        currently  0c

Very nice N.L, Not a bad end to Autumn at all.

[mistyqueen]

Nae Snaw, nae ice, but still very cold. I'm off to light the stove and feed the chooks and ducks. Rain coming in by the look of things.
