An absolute beautiful day here today.. a cracking day for a long walk out with the dog...

KW collects the Scottish collective 2023 weather bingo predictions... ah yep not 1 of us had snowy conditions by October 14

Streamer coming through for @Huntforsnow @Kayemill 

It's just the Dewpoint stopping that from being snow, decent for October nonetheless 

Stronger band of precip moving south bringing snow into Cairngorms me thinks yes

Is it definitely October aye?

It was lovely - hope my chainsawing/wood splitting didn't spoil your peace! 

I obviously know the whereabouts of most of the pictures but can't place the pond at all for some reason!

Ahh so it was you making all that noise ...

The pond is down the avenue of trees (as i call it).. past the phone box there is a small steading set back from the road  on the right hand side..(the folk that live there sold the house inluve in to the current owners..) i had a good history lesson off them while on a dog walk the other month..

Had to scrape the car windscreen this morning, first time this Autumn. Unfortunately I was stuck in work all day so no chance to enjoy the weather, school holidays start tomorrow though, woohoo. Off down to Dumfries and Galloway with the motorhome first week, back home to catch up on all the outstanding jobs the second week. 

[Norrance]

A beautiful sunny morning here so went for a walk but having listened to the cold forecast I put on the long trousers and a fleece. After 10 minutes or so was boiling even with the breeze. Feeling a bit colder pm with the breeze strengthening and some clouds blowing through although the temp had only dropped a tad to 11C

Ah yes, I know where you are. Complete mind blank! 

Another half decent day with plenty of sunshine but very windy now with the trees roaring away. Probably worse than the "storm" a few weeks back!

Lovely clear polar air. Smashing walks at the moment:

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Driving over the higher mountain road on the Isle ofMan this morning to catch the morning ferry to Liverpool there was a covering of wet snow over the road (height approx 1300ft, expecting the hills back home will catch the first snow cover later today as I make the long drive home.

V windy and showery back home on the north facing field cam

[Mair Snaw]

First shower of the day here just passing through.. slight hint of sleet in the heavier burst... so it begins sleety pish

[Snowandrocks]

Yep, enough sleet in the mix to show up nicely on the velux windows. Pretty heavy too so should be a covering somewhere with a bit of proper height. 

[Northernlights]

Temperature falling all day with wintry looking showers round the Firth. Finished cutting beech hedge this afternoon  really pleased as it's a hard job. Currently  breezy and showery and 4c so snow must be falling on mountains.

Heavy snow shower over Cairngorms at sunset

 

Very wintry looking sunset over Firth

Nice cold day round Glen Quaich  

[Norrance]

Nice pics. Which hill has the snow on it?

Reporting in for the first time this winter tonight, mainly because of the sleat hitting the windscreen this afternoon !

Good dusting of snow well down Ben Nevis today as well.

A proper winter feeling day.

Strong NW wind for most of the day blowing in some hefty showers in the afternoon, some sleet seen in one of those whilst visiting Inverurie; max of 7c and now 2c outside.

Plenty of sunshine in the morning, local farmer cutting silage at the moment, don't ever recall it being made this late in the year and a testament to the recent mild conditions...

And to think this field was only sown a couple or so weeks ago...

Great visibility today..

[Sanserit]

Cracking day on Deeside today, blue skies with the odd cloud scooting across and a decent drying wind. High of 11c, currently 2.8c and dropping. I’m expecting to wake up to a ground frost tomorrow, first one of the season.

[mardatha]

Well the car's white this morning, but the weather station is saying minus 7 which I think is a lie. Puffy will be laughing at me up there, he told me it was possessed

[Ravelin]

Frosty start in Kirkcudbright too, at least on the cars. 

[snowidea]

We got back from Paris on Wednesday, shot up to a soggy Glencoe for a few nights in the van on Thursday but came home on Friday as I was feeling terrible. Have managed to bring Covid home from France . Last time I had it it felt like a mild cold, this time it was close to proper flu, but finally feel a bit better today. Looks like I've missed some nice crisp weather, car was frosty this morning. Hopefully get the dog out for a walk later (though will have to avoid chatting to other dog owners for a few more days I think). 

[Quinach]

Showery day, though warmer than yesterday, currently 9c.  Winds a lot lighter as well.

Unusual for a weather warning to be issued so far in advance, heavy rain Thursday through Saturday, one to watch...
