Not sure what is worse, snow or incessant heavy rain

Surprise snowstorm in Sheffield city centre. Big flakes, coming down thick and fast. I hope it lasts because I thrive on the chaos. Also, thrive on being sent home early.

EDIT: It’s stopped snowing. The sun is out.

Last March I was in Sutherland. Shorts and T-shirt.

Out for an overnighter on the bike. Off the ferry in Dunoon and straight into the pub to sit out a blizzard.

It’s British Summer Time and it’s currently showing here in Aviemore.

It was a bit sketchy driving on the M8 at Kirk o’ Shotts late on last night.

Woke up to a dusting of snow on the Pentlands this morning!

This is what devolution does for you….

Snowsports on Cairngorm finishing up this weekend. Given the snow cover I’m not surprised. Plenty more on Braeriach though.

Looks like that’ll soon disappear as we’re finally in for a spell of decent weather

I left mull on Thursday morning and there was snow down to about 3-400m after Wednesdays storm.

And I think that log pile isn’t far from where I destroyed my back wheel on Monday. Is it on the link fire road from loch Morlich towards the lodge?

@jam-bo yes it is. I assume the wheel mangling wasn’t on that track?

Yep. Messing around in a group. Sprinted, popped a chain link, which pulled the mech into the spokes, destroyed mech, four spokes ripped out, rim ruined and hub destroyed. Expensive day and a long walk home..

*Looks out window*
*checks notes*

Nope, no snow today.

I can still see snow patches from my house.

Hang on I’ll check out back……..…..…

……………..nope, no snow here in Galloway

Just for you Matt

Ace.
I love comparing notes…

I found one of scotroutes snow patches today, so I of course had to ride down it.
Turns out if you bury a jobby in snow, it reappears sometime later.

Snow on Ben Nevis yesterday looking at pics a mate posted

@matt_outandabout – got a bit more for you as I was running up to Loch Eanaich earlier today.

Some still on Creag Meagaidh today too @matt_outandabout

A bit left on the tops round here!

I’ve just checked, as it was cool outside, no snow today forecast in the UK.

Hah, funny matt. That was 100% click bait as I had to come see who in the UK had seen snow today! 🙂

I didn’t see any today, but this was taken at the beginning of August 😁

Seems they’ve cast off the permacloud from the top of Fendrith Hill. Must have gone into dock for maintenance, or someone’s photoshopped the webcam images.

It is with a heavy heart I report that as of today the Sphinx has gone *again*. What 100 years ago was considered to be a permanent feature of our hills has vanished for the 10th time. Five of these have been since 2017.

A sad day.

And so it begins…

I can see fresh snow on the Grey Corries out my bedroom window this morning……

Uh huh, a tiny dusting on Ben More too.

Just drove through sleet at both Drumochter and Slochd passes.

3 degrees out too.  Didn’t really expect it!

Yeah, I had a vague plan of heading up the mountain a bit but the combination of wind, rain and sleet was enough to put me off 

Well, that’s this season’s first snow. It won’t settle, but it does mean that winter is officially coming. Dammit.

It’s not like we are even that far north (Uppsala), so this feels like it’s going to be a cold one.

Winter tyres went on the van on Friday, Giulia’s go on tomorrow. Dusting of Snow in Weardale this morning and talk of skiing being possible by the weekend.

Yesterday up top in really rather cold wind (-10 windchill apparently) reminded me of this thread too…

I see BBC are reporting a likely cold & snowy week for some of us.

-10 for us over the weekend, and a couple of cm of snow…

First sleet of the year here today, snow forecast for end of the week. Snow at the end of November isn’t that unusual for us (East Lancs up in the Pennines).

First snow here in Dunblane.

Snowing in Macc

We’ve had heavy falls the last few previous days, today temperature hasn’t reached 0c. Lovely cold weather, a big difference to the 15c we had the other week. Looks like Cumbria is getting hit hard the next 24 hours.
