Thought I would start the topic on the stroke of midnight! Some interesting weather going on out there at the minute.

It's 3.7C here with a dewpoint of 1.0C.
Been getting absolutely hammered with hail here today, and had a low overnight of 2.1C.

Hoping to see some snow on Friday!

[DiagonalRedLine]

Feeling chilly outdoors with a temperature of 1.7*C, and a fairly gentle wind. Snow shield in full power here. In fact, we've also got a hail shield in full force too (lol). A risk of some... *gulp*... rain showers here later on today (nooooooo!) with a slim chance of wintriness to the showers. Although it should still make for a fairly active day weather-wise.

Agreed with Friday. Fingers crossed it gets those snow shields taken care of once and for all!

About 6-7cms, main problem is the wind, Gale Force gusting to 55kts causing drifting.

Dry here at the moment, showers about overnight with even a bit of sleet in one late evening, a low of 2.4C since midnight but 1.3C from 2100 last evening, on the breezy side at times now and the temperature with 3/8 CuSc is 3.4C-no golf!

Still just sub-zero at home (-0.1º) with an inch of snow. My dad, 9 miles away and 200ft higher up has 6" of the stuff!
