Not much mention of snow in northern Scotland on the news, and
barely mentioned in the national forecast.

Och, aye, but aabody in London kens that northern Scotland is
aye under a three-foot deep blanket of snow from November to
March, so it's not newsworthy when there's only 9 cm lying.

Snowing here in Fochabers as I type this, BTW, and through the
snow there's sunshine lighting the front of the house across the
road, and blue sky beyond.
