Snow showers throughout north Lanarkshire for much of the night, a
particularly heavy one around 8am this morning and further scattered
snow showers since. All mount up to 35cm of snow lying in Wishaw this
evening. The village of Salsburgh, 5 miles north has around 50cm of
snow. The snow is now deeper than at any stage last winter.
Travel problems were a greater today with quite a few major roads
closed and many minor roads becoming impassable for 2wd.

With the arrival of December has come our first ice day, even in the
showers the temperature remained well below zero. Cloudy skies at the
moment and a temperature of -7ºC, unlikely they will clear for long
tonight - with further scattered snow showers expected. But tomorrow
night sub -15ºC should be on the cards given clear conditions. I
wouldn't be at all surprised to see the UK record surpassed in the
next few nights. Altnaharra, Braemar, Loch Glascarnoch or somewhere
else, Maybe all four, take your pick!

I took a few photo's today and shall put them on the website over the
next couple of days. Stunning scenes here too!
