Its nearly half way though May, and yet snow is still falling on the hills! Previous years the snow would have been long gone and we’d be basking in the sunshine, but something has changed…and its not global warming!

Official Winter Time in the UK started at just after  midnight last night. Over night the temperature fell to -6C at Glasgow Airport, making it the coldest night since last winter. Pretty good start to winter for the cold weather lovers!

TheWeatherOutlook has released it’s winter weather forecast for 2009/2010 and for the most part it has forecast a colder winter with above average precipitation. Hopefully that’ll fall as snow during the cool periods and not as rain during the milder spells.
