Scotland Weather discussion

[Klippie]

A much welcome cooler day...drizzle on and off dull and damp, oh hum the extended Autumn like weather continues.

The dafties on the other thread are amusingly chasing their tails again looking for the cold fallout from the SSW, it looks like that bloody high pressue which has so far ruined our winter is still clinging on like Nicola Sturgeon...oh wait what happened to her maybe there is hope after all, perhaps the dafties are on to something and if the planets all align some of the white stuff may appear on this snow desert named Fife.

A icy start to the day with plenty of snow on the surrounding hills - along with mist/fog clinging to the tops of some of them, as here looking north towards Bridge of Alford.

Some decent sunny spells in the morning but Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ arrived in earnest in the afternoon by which time the snow had melted on most of the nearby hills, though clinging on in the distant hills around Cairn o'Mount (view looking south)...

Calm conditions and a cool day with a max of 5.1c.  Some rain earlier this evening and now clear skies - going to be another frosty night.

The government alternative fuel payment, if you rely on oil for central heating for example,is now being paid out. £200 was dropped into my account with Octopus energy today.

Apologies if this information has been posted before.

 

Arrived in my new Octopus account too, the transfer from my Bulb account having just completed. The thing is, I wasn't expecting it as our heating is primarily electric via the heat pump, just bottled gas to the cooker and the wood burner as 'alternative' fuels. The house always has been electrically heated as far as I know, so quite how they decided who gets the payment is therefore a mystery. 

Currently 1.9C this morning. Oh and if the GFS 0Z is anything close to coreect you'll all need to find bigger ramp pictures. 

  

A long, long way off, but it seems something is afoot.

Moaning!   At the risk of my posts becoming too boring (if they aren't already) You can now pick today's

comment for yourselves:  Rinse and repeat, cut and paste, replicate, recycle, echo, parrot...(I have more)!

No it's been very windy all afternoon and evening.  Electricity flickering just now and  big beech fallen on boundary fence this afternoon  so next winters wood sorted. Fence to repair once it is cleared.

[Snowandrocks]

Pretty windy here too - not as bad as Friday morning but still quite lively by the sound of it. Firewood coming out of my ears here with another half a dozen birches down waiting to be sorted out so hopefully no more!

I will take some of that off you if you dont want it.....

And yes some really strong gusts the last 1 hour or so..

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Yes very gusty here too,  wind whining and moaning around the gable too

[Ravelin]

Just let the dog out before bed and yes, rather wild sounding outside. Local weather station has sustained at over 60km/hr, gusting over 80km/hr at times, way above forecasts that I can see. No idea how accurate that station us with wind speed though. 

[Hairy Celt]

Flat calm this time last night, now it's really noisy... Hopefully it'll be quiet in the morning.

Seems to have died down a bit now as i can no longer hear the roaring of the wind around the house..

Its not as cold tonight as it has been the last few nights but the house feels colder somehow

[skifreak]

It was windy at Glencoe as evidenced by this SAIS photo from earlier! Then it proceeded from windy to just completely stupid judging by the graph!

I probably could drop some rings off if you want some to split yourself! 

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Gusts up to 61mph last night, few branches down. Calmer and bit colder this morning but dry.

Very kind of you indeed..

[Quinach]

Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ yesterday, wet Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ so far this morning (though blue skies are tantalisingly over towards the NE).

Very windy yesterday evening as others have noted (calm now), noticed the storm on Friday did some damage over at Castle Fraser...

Nature rolls on into spring mode though, snowdrops at their peak round here...

[mardatha]

Grey and blowy and am not liking the prospect of another cold spell. Sort of want sunshine and flowers and warmth now. Must really be getting old

Quite nice over this side of the hill this morning, dry with some decent sunny spells. 

Mair Snow - will give you a shout next time I cut some up. 

[blitzen]

Good morning?  

 

 

 

[Hairy Celt]

A few trees down locally and still a bit breezy this morning. Tbh I'll cope with the breeze when we have some brightness to go with it.

[Hairy Celt]

So stained glass windowin wot??

Have I had enough of this b0110x. Yes.
