Snowed all morning but its fluffy light stuff. Of ocurse though it started as soon as i got into work and i only have a jacket and my trainers. No scarf or boots :eek: Its been raining/sleet falling for a couple of hours now and is washing it all away again.

lol not sure about it being a 'proper' forecast, don't think i am politically correct enough for that :p
anyway ....
ok i've looked up til sunday - it's definately snow on high ground right til then, the coastal areas may see sleet or snow, if the nights are clear there will more than likely be freezing temps, possibly down as low as minus 2 or 3c, if cloudy then more like 0 or 1c.
it wont be solid snow, there will be some sunny spells too so it's not all doom and gloom.
winds are easing off as you can already feel and if it's snowing then don't be afraid to go anywhere it shouldn't be drifting, just be aware of road conditions and that a lot of roads will just be gritted not salted.
i don't think we'll see any great accumulations again especially round the coast but inland like halkirk, spittal etc could have enough for kids to get the sledges out again.

i'm away until friday morning after tonight but i'll look at the charts again on friday afternoon and let you know what early next week has in store if you like?

wrap up warm folks those woolly knickers should still be useful for a while yet! [lol]

Serious or not which by the way i'm glad it's the latter.
It is a long way to go, especially if by train.
There should be a faster more direct train service.
4 and half hours is a long time for the distance.
