Default [wr]Aberfeldy, Perthshire - snow, woo-hoo

It snowed here from around 3:45pm 'til 9pm, began to settle at around
7:30pm and accumulation was 4cm at best. 6-8cm in higher parts of the area
(Newmains/Shotts). Most roads were very tricky for a while.
A gradual thaw kicked in thereafter and lasted most of the night, with
spells of rain and sleet.
24 hours later, there's still a patchy cover here.

The eventual precip. total of 31mm made it the 2nd wettest day of the year
here. May 30th being the wettest.
Alex,
near Motherwell.

Winter at last.


Rain turned to snow here just after we got back from shopping at 1500.
We now have a light covering.
