Probably people desperate for warmth and with very little money.

Hmm yeah, ok, I retract.

Weather all a bit yawn, have resorted to looking for holiday cottages for a week at Easter. Considering Snowdonia, anyone been ? 

Snowdonia is big, aim for one of the less hyped bits as the core will be rammed at Easter. Rhinogs are good, among other parts. But most places will be booked by now, surely? I've been looking at Arran for October and that seems to be going that way already.

Cracking sunrise today and gorgeous day although I was nightshifts so slept through everything.

My girlfriend got a cloud inversion on Blencathra, not jealous at all….

Cracking day up here, great to be back I Highlands after 3600 miles across France and Spain in a week. Nice to see different scenery and be paid for it bbutyou cannot beat the Highlands.

Frosty to start at 0.6C warm in sun at 10.3C.

Absolutely glorious here again today - hard frost to start with the pickup reading minus 5 at 7am but soon warming up in the surprisingly strong sun. Not a breath of wind all day. 

[Northernlights]

2c early morning and slight ground frost followed by cloudless skies and sunshine all day with hardly any wind fantastic.  Couple of wind damage gates repaired along with various outside jobs.  Looks like a cold one tonight with a frosty looking sunset earlier. Currently 3c.

2 wonderful sunny warm days on the trot here.. even managed to get out and tidy the garden a little. Cold frosty start and the temperature has dropped quickly after sundown and the frost is back.. 

The dog had an absolute wonderful time running around and rummaging through the stick and mud.. now the fire is on and somebody is out for the count..

Another mostly cloudy snorefest , oh for some sun

Surprisingly quite a bit of choice just outside the National Park, seen a few nice looking places on the Llyn peninsula. Never been to Arran, it's on the list. Hope you find somewhere nice.

Absolutely stunning winters day.

Cold start with a low of -3.1c, warming quickly to a max of 9.8c.

Feeling lovely and warm in the sunshine - even took out the lounger for a while - thanks to the calm conditions.

Not often the sky is as completely clear as it has been today.

Cold again tonight, already down to -1.5c.

Surprisingly quiet at Castle Fraser today what with the lovely weather and the mid-term school holiday.

After a terrific day yesterday with milky blue skies, near calm and temps 9 degrees, cloud has edged back from the southwest this morning.  Still signs of ground frost, so I guess the cloud hasn't been back for long.  Pity for the kids that half term isn't till next week (or even the week after for some).  To my surprise the potted peach in the conservatory is in full flower, whilst outside a good show of snowdrops and wild daffodils just about in bud.  Notably low river levels for the time of year.

So the grey nothingness continues..absolutely foul weather which has no purpose at all. Tho maybe some subtle hints of something wintery as we toward the latter stages of Feb. I hope so as apart from the dec cold frosty spell this winter has been very non descript

Veil of high cloud approaching from the south west to take away another pretty clear skied day here in the North east, not anticipating much precipitation in these parts bar a little drizzle in the next few days. Farmers fields are drying nicely. 

[Mair Snaw]

Another stunning day here, more time in the garden clearing and cleaning up.. found a stepping stone path under the lawn so will be cutti g and shaping those next.. 

Ive not been in the mad house in ages as i cannot seem to find it within this new layout thing thats happened on here.. probably for the best, save me from myself..

[shuggee]

I would find that more than pleasant.. might need to buy more heating oil though  

[Klippie]

Great pictures as always folk's...it looks like summer weather with all that sunshine.

I've been watching another of the Met-office Deep Dive's...he kept mentioning Mild Damp and I had to shout Pish each time he said it...well you have to keep yourself amused don't you.

And he also confirmed a SSW will take place shortly, but would he hell put himself on the spot and mention a cold spell...only 70% chance he said, you know I think these weather forecasters revel in sayIng its going to be mild...it gets right on my .

Hopefully it can hold off for another 10 days or so... The ground finally seems dry enough and I have a slew digger and dumper getting dropped off on Thursday. 

Probably be knee deep in snow by next weekend knowing my luck! 

[Quinach]

Another beautiful day.

Clear skies first thing then a bit cloudier from mid-morning onwards, though still plenty of sunshine.

Cold overnight with a low of -3.3c, max of 10.1c.

Biggest difference was a change from calm conditions yesterday to a steady, cooling southerly breeze.

Nice variety of cloud types at sunset...

[Glaswegianblizzard]

It rained in Glasgow yesterday for about 30 minutes. Most interesting thing that’s happened in about a fortnight.

[jellybaby1969]

Well a bit more interesting today if you like rain..the thought of taking the mutts out is just so exciting

Yep, soaked on the school run! Friday looks a little more interesting...

[Northernlights]

Looked a bit like rain this morning but has cleared to blue skies and a southerly gale which is blowing dust about on the farm tracks and rapidly drying out the autumn ploughed fields. Given that the field drains only ran sporadically in January a massive summer drought looks likely on the south side of the Moray Firth unless we get a lot of spring snow or rain. Currently 9c
