The First Snow....

Well it appears that the first snow falls of the winter have arrived in Scotland.  A brief text message from Alison Culshaw today talked of a dusting of "fresh" in the Cairngorms.

It might be difficult to hide my excitement as the long range forecasts have suggested cold weather in late September for a while now - but it hasn't quite arrived.  With high pressure currently dominating, we should see some frosts and potentially some more snow on the Scottish mountains as low pressure systems try and edge in..

Just in case you don't believe it, here is a picture from Cairngorm Mountain webcam.
