And more fresh snow down to street level this morning! 6 weeks until the nights start drawing in again 😆
OK, this is insane now. Snow in May isn't unheard of but blocking the A9? If this is the new normal I'm going to have to invest in more thermals.
Snowed here too at sea level bit didn't settle.
Y'know I remember someone saying early on it looked like there was a chance of an early finish to winter. I'm 100% blaming them....
My wife said it snowed on the way home from school yesterday. In Cardiff.
Mate was skiing on the Ben and climbing Green Gully this week, came back to the Lakes for kite skiing on Raise yesterday. Interesting May so far.....
There was no snow last night here.
However it was only last week a friend posted up that skiing was over for the season - having skiied up to 10 days ago.
How you doing @patriotpro.
As it's the solstice it seems appropriate to check in on this thread.
I've seen no snow today.
HTH.
I was hoping on an update from @nobeerinthefridge, though I can see plenty from my window at the moment.
Watched two guys snow boarding off Coire lochan down one of the few remaining full gullies on Wednesday, madness!.
I'll update that thread soon Colin, still enjoying it to be honest, and I need to get some pics over onto Flickr!.
Its going to be bad this year around Manchester.
Selling our 4x4 Yeti, mild winters since buying it so stands to reason its going to be biblical this year.
Excellent.
The first snow of the year has hit here in mid sweden. Happy winter all!
Last weekend

Likely disappeared already, though we're expecting more in a couple of days.
And it arrived.

Frozon snow outside the Pine Marten at Glenmore this evening. It was a very cold, but stunning, ride back home.
Just popped in to post a link to the Loch Morlich webcam.
Wintery.... 😎

Had to scrape the van windscreen earlier.
First snowfall in Dalarna also (Vansbro). Still nothing but slightly negative temperatures in Uppland and the big city though.
We were in the Pyrenees on the 22nd of Sept when the locals informed us that the fresh snow on the peaks that morning was the first of the season.

Sorry for the gutter press.

What is it with tabloids and doom laden weather forecasts?
The actual met office long range forecast is rather less apocalyptic
Monday 15 Nov - Wednesday 24 Nov
Remaining changeable and autumnal particularly to the north through the start of this period as low-pressure systems dominate, sometimes accompanied by rain and strong winds. Elsewhere while rain is possible at times, drier and brighter conditions are more likely in the south and southeast regions, although some rain will likely reach even here at times. Morning fog patches are also possible in these regions during this period. A rather cold start to the period will likely be followed by a brief recovery in temperatures, before possible trend down later on in the month. This would bring an increasing chance of some wintry conditions, mainly over the higher ground in the north, but with a slight risk to lower levels.
I think it is just click bait. I must have looked at something on FB, I now get a weekly prediction from the Mail or somewhere of epic snowmaggedon coming soon - we can tell you the exact dates!!
Never confirmed by the weather forecast or weather.
I find the whole tabloid thing quite amusing and I'm pretty sure you can time you calendar with it - Ooh look, its the first week of November - time for "PLUNGING TEMPRATURES INCOMING!!!!!! OMG!!!" headline. It's the start of winter - of course it's cooling down ffs.
Oh look, it's mid November, MWIS / Met office is forecasting chance of wintery conditions on munro tops so it's a "BRITAIN BRACES FOR SNOWMAGEDON OMG!!!!!" headline.
Who in the name of baby James Brown believes any of that claptrap?
UK weather nonsense forecast:
Up to 10 column inches of tabloid weather NONSENSE set to hit much of Britain next week. Worst forecasting standards for SIXTY YEARS. UK set to endure ONE HUNDRED DAY of utter drivel about SNOW!!!. POLAR VORTEX of utter horse manure about the cold set to continue as ICY BLAST from the EAST!. CLICK HERE for EXACT DATE.
It no doubt serves a narrative. You just need to look at all the "So much for Global Warming" comments below these nonsense forecasts
Shame on you Matt for posting that tabloid mince.
You should now be forced to walk around your office car park in your underpants,every lunchtime,for the whole of December. 😉 🤣
A bit more coverage than we've had recently, and feeling cold enough that it won't instantly disappear.

I was forced to stop splitting wood yesterday by a small flurry of snow. Nay! A light dusting. Ok, about a cm.
The weather in the City is sunny and warm-ish, so my commute was actually pleasant, but I am not super-looking forward to the cycle home,

If you have seen one of the runners from the office across the way, he's not far off that already...
Ground was frozen up on Trossachs hills yesterday - it does feel like the freezing level has finally dropped below summits.
Looking out the window at work just now at the wet snow falling, Craigellachie, Speyside
Splitboard action soon hopefully 🤞😊
Thinking I'll have to dust off the touring skis for a service. Not sure we'll get as much in the Pentlands as last year though!

As you might imagine, it's a similar picture here in Aviemore this morning. I'm hoping to take the Fatbike out later if this keeps up.
The wind that's forecast later is tempering my desire to get the fatbike out.
It's only really wet soggy stuff down here but on my usual haunts around the Convals will be lovely and white I reckon.
Loch Morlich webcam is worth a watch...

A mate of mine is doing a job in Banchory today.
Last I heard it was blizzard conditions there.
Just looked at the Morlich webcam, looks serious!
wwaswas thanks for that link. I was near Glenshee on holiday a few weeks back so interesting (sad) to look at the cameras, road just shut going south out of Braemar. Bit surprising as not much snow, what do they do when there is proper snow and people want to go ski!
what do they do when there is proper snow and people want to go ski!
they wait for it to stop snowing, plough and grit the road, and then open it again!Trying to keep it open and safe while snow is still falling is an almost hopeless task. You would not be skiing in those conditions either, that's for sure
Yer makes sense. I can imagine coming down either side from the Ski centre would be carnage on fresh snow, bad enough in the rain/fog. Just confusing atm as there were a couple of cars waiting at the gates to get into Braemar but they can't get in for a while. Anyway, back to work (lol). Hoping to get ~4 flakes in Northumberland
Feel sorry for any oil and gas workers out in the North Sea with the forecast 100 mph+ winds
Anyone Aberdeenshire, Angus and Fife coast needs to batten down tonight.
I’ve woken up to quite a bit of snow here in Sheffield - perhaps 6-7cm 🙂
I looks pretty slushy though. Will venture out for a snowball fight with my 6 year old shortly 😀
Quite a decent covering in East Lancs on the tops. Good 15 TO 20cm plus some drifting.
Snowing over the Malverns this morning.
