Still pleasantly warm in the front room. With a cold front moving in through the kitchen door (the dogs just gone out into the garden to chase snowflakes).

Cloud expected at altitude when I run the bath with a cooler breeze and cloud lifting later when I open the bathroom window.

Can we keep this thread going for Tuesday as well? It's a good idea for folks who really do have to be out and about.

Heavy rain in Wick at the moment with a strong NNE gale - this will wash all the salt of the roads which were just gritted.

Headed up the road yesterday after a christmas, new year trip to Ireland. Perth Inverness was not great but it was a 25miles an hour job to get from Inverness to Thurso. A very long trip that took 13 hours, we are very very happy to be home and tucked in safe in our warm house, the kids are also very happy to see what santa has left under their own tree for them, looks like they are getting a white christmas after all :)

Haven't been out today but down at Brims,(looking out of my window) no snow, a wee bit of wind and the sun is out, looks like a beautiful summers day [lol] well apart from a bit of clouds [lol]

Can't believe how much snow is around the county, u would think i was on a different planet :lol:
