Drove from Fife to FW & back today. Started *very* early! The car has
a temperature included on the dashboard - it started at 1c (yes, I know
it's not hugely accurate but...) and dropped to 02 by Drumochter Summit.
However all roads were passable including that horrid one from
Dalwhinnie to the A85. Conditions on the A9 were better on the way back
but there was a *lot* of traffic, and on the long dual section south of
Drumochter the outside lane was impassable (except rather slowly) both
ways.

Here in Fife it's above freezing and wet. It has been overcast & dull
all day.

Lots of 'take care' roads on the RAC web site for Scotland, including
the A9 at Dunblane, lots of the A83, parts of the A9, the A84 at
Lochearnhead and westwards, and the A82 through Glencoe.

2 inches of snow and counting... - moderate with small flakes, still green
bits under the conifers and the temp is 0.5 C, no wind yet.

Well I got about 7 miles East towards the A9 this morning before i had to
swallow my pride and head back as the road began to disappear and the car
began to fishtail.

Currently moderate snow with about 2-3 cm accumulating, wet snowball snow
at
mo. Rained first and then turned to snow at about 07:45.

No snow at Stirling at 0930 but snowing in Dunblane which is about 400
feet
higher up and 6 miles North.

I shall have a snowman by the afternoon, just watch
