any local experts want to predict whether we might see some fluffy stuff in Alloa?

We have been having a few flurries but nothing else so far. It is supposed to be 'disruptive' in Scotland and Northern England. I want deep snow in August!

 ;D ;D ;D (your in-laws sound like mine  ;))
According to the forecast I saw it's not to hang around for long David  :thumbsup:
But it is still only April and there's not been much snow at all this year......

We're forecast to get hit here in north yorkshire moors area later today and all day tomorrow, its not unusual, my cousins little girl got christened up in the hills one April and when we came out of church it was white over, great fun gettting all the cars down fron the steep bank up to the church! NOT. Its bound to snow as i'm well ahead in my greenhouse for a change! and my latest litter of piglets have never seen rain let alone snow been bone dry since they were born!

Ground's warmed up with all that sun we've had David - even if it snows it won't lie. ;D  Remember the Falkirk Wheel!

Saw snow warning signs on the way to Kincardine this morning, so maybe but it will not settle....I always think that at this time of year you can get all weathers at once, so remember Easters and trips out being Hot, then cold then wet then hot....who knows ???

we had some snow this morning but just a light dusting
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Yes and us, though it hasn't even started raining yet.

Been racing the weather, so got the goat byre cleaned out yesterday (rain means I can't get through the gateway to the midden with a loaded trailer and ice means I get the whole rig stuck on the steep track....), the chookyard swept this morning and the chainsawing done this afternoon, so I am actually ready for an enforced day indoors, don't say that very often  :D
