"Here we go again" but I cant help but hope. The met office has the heavy snow icon for Wick on Sunday night.

Please, Please, Please let it be right, for once and give us a good dumping of the beautiful white stuff.

Fingers crossed.

When it snowed big fluffy flakes, my Granny would say "They're plucking geese in Orkney".

Here ;)
just came on to post a warning about next week too ;)
Don't quote me on actual timings here, this is just my estimation of the charts i have been looking at for the last few days...
first things first here, seriously, get your winter woolies out of the drawers, you will need them! the air flow is going to be coming direct from the artic (damn near north pole!) for at least 5 days from sunday evening !! This set up is looking like an almost constant hit of steady snow showers through until next thursday at the moment (but may change yet). I have been talking to guy in shetland who has been watching the weather a lot longer than i have, and his take on the situation looking at the charts is that it is a similar set up to what gave shetland 30ft drifts and 3ft level snow last time it happened in December 1995.
Saturday is liable to fool you into thinking it isn't going to happen, but hold onto your wooly hats ;)

I know everyone is looking forward to the snow I just hope it holds off till Monday! I leave London Friday at 4PM with four children under the age of eight and me on my lonesome, I have NEVER driven in the snow. I expect to be in Thurso around Sunday late afternoon early evening If anyone sees me driving around in circles PLEASE HELP !!!!!.......Trish.

I have a newone! lined with 'thinsulate' from my dear wife, sporting the legend 'Lonsdale' in thankfully tiny writing. I relish this sting in winter tail and hope it ventures this far south. My thermals are at the ready too.

Bring it on!

Great. Just great. My Mrs is heading for Scotland on Sunday, arriving Monday in Inverness. What do you think Tugmistress, will it get that far South?

let's just say that if she hasn't got there by monday tea time i for one would not like to be travelling after that if these charts stay as they are :confused

if the charts stay as they are then i would certainly say it is a possibility, to my knowledge, and i have only been up here 3 years, the snow gates have been closed on much less 'events' :) though i am sure some of the posters on here can offer you a greater response on that front than i!
