Snow?

[Nauti Buoy]

Hi all, promised to try and find some snow, is there any in Scotland yet? have looked at the ski websites and they are not showing any runs open, just want enough for some sledging and snowman building for the nephews.

Will that be suitable Richard ?

Richard, there was a brief dusting here a few weeks ago. The ground was pretty wet here and it quickly melted. Less than an hour from here they had an inch or two - but it had all gone by the following morning.

I believe Nevis range (fort william) had some snow yesterday but not enough for skiing and that there is patchy snow on Glencoe - but no complete runs. I was told Cairngorm was open Christmas Eve (very limited skiing) and is expecting more snow today/tomorrow. They have snowmaking capabilities too if conditions allow.

However for garunteed snow in Scotland at the moment probably your only real prospect is the Braehead indoor snowdome...

Up Falkland hill (Fife Scotland) last week we had enough snow for a snowman about 2" deep but melted the nextday.

St. John's and vicinity
3:45 PM NST Thursday 27 December 2007
Winter storm warning for
St. John's and vicinity continued

Snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 centimetres combined with windy conditions will reduce visibilities to near zero in blowing snow on Friday.

This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

A low pressure system currently affecting Nova Scotia will continue to track northeastward and develop into an intense winter storm by the time it arrives on Friday morning. Snow and high winds will affect most of the island beginning overnight and continuing into Friday.

Snowfall accumulations ranging between 15 and 25 centimetres can be expected for the eastern half of the island with the highest amounts approaching 30 centimetres forecast over northeastern Newfoundland. Gusty northeast winds combined with heavy snow will give reduced visibility in blowing snow. The snow is expected to change to flurries by Friday evening with the winds expected to shift to the northwest and strengthen as the low passes.

I believe there is almost enough to ski on at the top of Cairngorm.

Richard - I generally find http://ski.visitscotland.com gives as good snow reports for scotland as anywhere (the "resorts" themselves update it daily). I believe that they are expecting some snow this weekend and towards the end of next week.

As you have probably heard the promised snow did arrive. All the ski slopes (and many other areas) have enough snow for sledging and snowmen.

Lucky sod - all we get is rain - rain and yet more rain along with gales after gale. I have listened to the shipping forecast ever day since Christmas and it's always "galeforce 9 lundy Irish Sea"!!!

Bogi, I think you need to defrost the freezer more often.
