-13 C last night but a NW wind has pushed us up to around zero at
0900. 13 days with snow cover now. I wonder what some of the snow
depths are now at say Granton on Spey and Huntly?

I dont think we got better that -11 C today. On a run into town at
16:00 it was -14 C. Cars were getting stuck everywhere in places like
lay bye's, tiny gradients, side streets. Everyone is in extreme
weather mode and combine that with the run up to Hogmanay.. well you
can imagine.

A friend tried to reverse down our drive earlier and 1 hour later we
got him out using shovels (I did warn him) The post box in Aberfeldy
has a 6 inch mound of ice on it like a crash helmet and its own big
icicles across the slot like teeth. The houses on the main street all
have 5 feet icicles in rows like Christmas decorations. I would
imagine the New Year will see several deaths of folks falling asleep
in the snow coming back from first footing.

Whilst the extreme weather is very interesting it is exhausting. When
the bathroom soap freezes onto its soap dish at 3 in the afternoon you
kind of think..stop that, that is quite enough.

A further 2cm of snow overnight but temps have thankfully risen with the
advent of the NE'rly. Slight thaw under way. 1.1 C at 0900 Yesterday was
-11 C at best, most of the day was -12 to -14 C. The burn has frozen
over in large parts (see website pics). Just dug out another BMW (seem
to be the worst cars in the snow, must be the rear wheel drive?). Little

What a difference yesterday was at around 1.5 C for the light hours as
opposed to -12 C the day before. Today it is around 0 C but the keen NE
is making it cold. The snow showers banging into the Moray coast have
now arrived here and we currently have some moderate snow. P&K council
are loading snow from the town onto lorries and its is being dumped in a
local farmers field. I was told that the last time this happened the
mountain of snow lasted until June!

Big moon, starry skies and temps falling like a stone. It was -5 C on my
last run to the coop. Aberfeldy has a plethora of big dangerous icicles
on most shops as well as a variety of ice sculptures on down pipes and
on walls and ice mounds on the pavement where drips have frozen to a
depth of 12 inches in parts. Just at dusk there were many patches of
waist high fog around the valley floor, all very lovely if one were not
trying to keep the car on the road and out of the Tay.
