Scotland Weather discussion

[mardatha]

Very grey, wee bit windy, looks like it's goin to do something any minute but the early frost melted so it will be rain. Fabby.

grauple here is  the best mustered and now very cold rain.... put shopping for mums birthday present and just wandering aimlessly with no clue.  January birthdays are so bad

[Northern Strath]

Following a pretty nothing day yesterday and a bonnie sunrise this morning the arrival of moisture saw it snow for about an hour at varying rates 

Looks like it could be a snow - to rain - back to snow day but as ever..who the hell knows. Here’s a couple from Tuesday's dog walk behind Meall Mòr with daylight beginning to fade

Popped in to the ‘Rusks, tantrums and occasionally model discussion thread’.. definitely thankful there is a rational Scottish perspective option this year

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Light, slightly pishy snaw here.

Covering of about 0.75 mm.

 

[Stormeh]

Pishy sleet here, horrible day!

I am hoping that later tonight I will see some snow while up at East Kilbride.

Cold sleety rain...horrible morning.

[Puffy MacCloud]

It's a struggle to walk the length of myself this morning and I’ve only made it from my bedroom through to the sitting room so far today, where the view from the window onto the street in front of the house is as different from yesterday as it’s possible to be. Where yesterday the entire village was out promenading in the bright winter sunshine, many giving me a wave on their way bye, some stopping to chat awhile, today we appear to be in the middle of a warm wedgie thingy and it’s pishin’ doon fit tae burst. Only the doggers are out this morning, on their dogging trail up to the woods. There are a lot of doggers in the village. They even have their own bit at the village fair in the summer, where they put on a display of their dogging skills. It’s very popular. I like it because it empties the beer tent so that I can get a couple of pints in and have a seat while watching them in comfort from afar. But that’s another story. Meanwhile it’s dull, windy and raining. Older daughter has made me a cuppa and is now out doing a shopping for me. Tomorrow she heads back to Spain; Barcelona to be precise, there its sunny and warm. Each to their own I suppose. Doggers for instance. Out in the rain, getting covered in mud, then spending hours sponging down the furry bits and washing the muck off one’s trousers. Don’t see the attraction.

A horrible day of cold rain with sleet mixed in. It was actually white with big fluffy flakes when I went to bed last night. 
 

Hopefully see some snow here when tonight’s showers rattle in, but only a one day event if I do.

Pishy sleety stuff here in Stonehaven since about 9.30 this morning, but was a dryish journey to the office, the roads on Banchory side of the hill being driest.  According to the weather station closest to my office, it’s currently 3.2c and considerably more wet stuff has fallen than in my back garden at home.

[Cheggers]

Windy wet pish at present, brutally cold in the wind earlier.

[shuggee]

Wet sleety cold rain. And to think my 19th air frost last night was the coldest of the season so far at -4.4°C. 

[snowidea]

Raining, possibly sleety rain, definitely wet. 

Edit Mr Snowidea thinks definitely rain (no sleet) and we've been eased out of the yellow weather warning for snow though as we live up the hill and on the edge of town, not giving up all hope.

Looks like I've been eased into the yellow warning by about 1 mile. So that's killed that then. Sleet at best 

[NUT]

Was just plain old rain here in the end think we in the "brief" mild air before we get into the "brief" cold air again

[Ross B]

Some pretty beefy showers coming in now with hail mixed in which is the first sign that the colder air is beginning to dig in.. 

[Northern Strath]

Mild, drippy crap last few hours and some rain ️ Any snowfall is currently at least at the 450m+ mark. 1.9c

[Northernlights]

Mostly dry today but very strong wind with high windchill. A bt of frost overnight  started the drying process and it has continued today allowing me take straw bales up from the field.  Hills very white all round the Firth Currently 3c. Roast chicken for tea tonight .sprouts from the garden and roast potatoes along with one of Aurora Storms Christmas food gifts for me a marzipan capaccino so good on a freezng cold night.

[Ravelin]

Surprised I didn't even have to scrape the car this morning, especially as the temp was slightly below freezing up until 7am, with a brief low of -1.8C. Remnants of snow still surviving in the garden and on parts of the driveway, with the surrounding hills retaining a white coating above 250m or thereabouts. 

[101_North]

It is awful out there! Cold rain, windy, freezing but the temp is at least on the way down!

[Penicuikblizzard]

The latest shower is definitely sleety

Cold air digging in now

I can't see the 101 or Straiton resort's opening anytime soon  

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Howling bitter wind this morning ushered in fluffy snow then wet snow/sleet before more general light rain showers later in the afternoon, snow cover still holding up and may get a top up tonight if the showers make it over the hills to the west. Not best of pictures but sunrise over Inverness on early morning trip with mad hound to the vet referral clinic.
