December 2006 in Lundie, Angus, in the Sidlaws, 10 miles NW of Dundee.

December had a very unsettled first half, with heavy rain, strong
winds, and mild temperatures; it was then dry and cold, but with a wet
and stormy New Year's Eve. In spite of the prolonged dry spell it was
still the wettest December I've recorded. The low of -6.1C on Christmas
morning was the lowest reading of the year; dense freezing fog led to
thick rime and it at least looked like a White Christmas! We had
thunder, lightning, a rainbow at sunset, crepuscular rays, all on New
Year's Eve.

A selection of photographs of the New Year's Eve events can be found
