A damp, cloudy start, temperature 2°C with a gentle northerly wind.

Starting to brighten up looking south:

Third picture is from Glenshee this morning. 

Snow symbols creeping back into the Met Office forecasts for end of next week.

4c here nice looking day to finish putting up elecric fence on neeps for cows and calves. They are still outside but as soon weather gets a bit cooler/wetter /snowier they will be in.

[Sceptical]

The hills to the west of the house are partially white. Picture is a bit ropey, but you can see it's been snowing.

Ben Wyvis has nice  cap of snow to about 2000feet   

Cold shifting sheep just now at 5c to fresh green field

Yes, and it kept getting colder until 08:53 today when the temperature hit -0.4⁰C although it bounced back to 7.0⁰C at 14:08 and has since sunk again to 3.2⁰C now, just as the sun is setting, with humidity at 83%, wind 0 to 1mph northwesterly with a maximum gust today of 7mph at 11:08, pressure is 1026.8hPa rising slowly, there’s been 0.2mm of rain today apparently, (melted frost methinks as there have been precious few clouds about,) and cloud cover has been a maximum of 1/8 all day.

Maybe I made a wee mistook with the sandals; my feet are now royal blue. Back to the dressing up cupboard…

[Ravelin]

Nowhere near as sunny as I'd expected today, and far more showers of cold rain. Rather a damp day in fact with a low of 1.9C and high of 5.0C, with most of the daylight hours sat just above 4C. 

Staying cooler than of late by the looks of the models, especially later in the week, but other than that there still seems to be a lot of uncertainty of exactly how things will play out. 

[Northernlights]

Well apart from housing cows and calves its officially winter on the farm dung spread .ploughed in  and just two small old grass fields to plough. Electric fence up on neeps and all livestock on winter rations. A bit dull this evening and 6c.

[Puffy MacCloud]

It’s already down to -1.7⁰C and with humidity at 91%, pressure at 1030.5hPa rising slowly, and no wind whatsoever the dew point has dropped to -3⁰C for the first time this season.

[Quinach]

Unpleasant day of heavy showers and a cold. moderate NW wind.

Some sunshine but not making much difference to the feel of the day.

Max of 5.9c.

Castle Fraser and environs rather sodden looking.

[Sceptical]

A dry start, temperature 5°C. Noticed a couple of gritters parked up on the Aberdeen by-pass on the commute to work. Pretty sure that's the first time I've seen the gritters out this Autumn.

A colder week in store .

 

[SW Saltire]

Nice start to the day, -2c. Chilly but lovely sunrise

Wonderful day yesterday - cold crispy start, sun beating down and chilly. Couple of hours of grey early afternoon, but after I finally got my act together jumped in the car and headed up to Fruid reservoir, it was sunny again and the car said 3C at 3pm.

 

That's Finn at the remains of Hawkshaw Castle, where i Incidentally saw my first ever Golden Eagle. Wow. I know a few pairs have been released in the 'Moffat hills' in recent years - so this tallies nicely...

-1.7C in the garden overnight so fifth air frost.....

[shuggee]

Oh, and oooof...

 

[Puffy MacCloud]

At sunrise the sky was gin clear, then by 10am there was a high, thin, marbling effect and now there’s a definite march of thicker cloud coming in from the north. Shame, because it’s been a spectacularly bright, crisp morning.

The overnight temperature went from -2.5⁰C at midnight to a low for the day of -2.9⁰C at 05:15 and has risen since then to a high of 6.4⁰C now, humidity is 85%, wind is 0 to 1mph westerly with a mighty gust of 3mph at 11:24, pressure is 1032.7hPa steady, my weather station has again recorded 0.2mm of rain (melted frost surely,) in a perfectly dry day, cloud cover has built from 0/8 at daybreak to 6/8 now and the dew point is at 4⁰C, so nothing exciting today then.

[Quinach]

Better day today.

Dry with light winds and a tad warmer (max of 8.9c).

Very little in the way of brightness, Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ rules the roost.  Best of the brightness being first thing...

[Norrance]

A cool and mostly cloudy day here. Max of 7C and min of 1C so no air frost here. Here is the setting sun a wee while ago and how a couple of minutes earlier it lit up the trees and houses opposite.

[Gogoslo]

The sky is fiery this evening.

Time for a shift either side with this low so no in depth analysing quite yet however first thought on this is a front stretched across the country mean has roughly -6 850hpa, if we get it after the sun sets add evaporative cooling and a decent snowfall doesn't sound far fetched

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Looks like turning colder in the Highlands which will be a shock as in Fuerteventura this week and it was 80f today.  Could be a tricky drive home from Edinburgh airport late Saturday night by looks of it…

Some of our northerly, inland & upland members will open their eyes at this one...old school blizzard??

 

certainly some interest for early in the season... wish I could think of a reason to be up in Aviemore 

[Sceptical]

Looking forward to Saturdays weather already! Northerly winds, around these parts, are seldom dull affairs.

Sunset was absolutely amazing tonight. I was driving home from the vets and passed a group of runners who'd stopped just so they could take it in. I parked up for a photo but camera phone doesn't do it justice. There were shades of orange and purple in there with the red.
