And just 30 miles or so further east I recorded just 9.6 mm sleet. Nasty
stuff.

Yesterday saw 12" of snow in Aberfeldy and reports of 24" in the
Braco, Greenloaning, Auchterarder area. These towns are 35 miles south
of me. Stirling had a couple of inches 10 miles of so south of say
Braco.

The general snow line in Lanarkshire seemed to be about 250m earlier this
afternoon, it's lowering as I type of course.
Some of the higher hills, such as Tinto must have an incredible amount. Now
over 60mm of precip here since the event started on Wednesday morning, snow
converted and add in orographic precipitation means there's no hillwalking
for me this weekend!
And when it thaws, oh dear!
Your wee burn will no doubt be enchroaching upon your house again Brian
