ok i know the question everyone asks this time of year is 'will it be a white christmas this year?'
but...........
it's too early for me to tell but i can tell you it will probably snow later this week!
certainly anything falling out of the sky from thursday through til monday is more than likely to be white not wet - and it's going to be 'jolly cold' so get yer woolie knickers oot! it may carry on longer but i ain't looking further than sunday morning at the moment.
the upper air temp starts getting cold enough for snow early hours thursday morning and hangs around getting colder friday evening through til saturday night/sunday morning.
i don't think we'll see any great dumpings of the white fluffy stuff though, it'll just be little flurries, but those travelling through the grampians and whatever the other range is south of inverness will see some pretty sights ;)
there wont be a lot of wind with it thankfully, what there is will start from the east on thursday and work back northwards during friday.
Drivers, watch out for freezing road conditions especially around dawn and dusk when the temperature tends to take a sudden dive, check your antifreeze and check your screen wash has enough blue stuff in it not to freeze in the pipes! make sure you are carrying a good stock of deicer later this week!
