keep an eye on that cam in the link in my first post....It'll give you some idea.....mind, the weather can be quite different in the west.

Bollox, that's a bone chilling statistic
As long as it's above minus 5 by the end of the month - doing Galloway forest over Easter again and camping locally. Frost on inside as well as outside of the tent last year . . . but no snow. And all the trails were dry - don't think we'll have that luxury this year.
Now, where did I hide those M&S tyres for the 800?

Those gates should be cut down. Nanny state.
As for winter, O centigrade and trying to snow as I came home back of 7 tonight. Still spring starts on Saturday doesn't it?
Saw some lambs in a field on the drive in this morning near Oldmeldrum, looked rather cold. Poor wee things

Met Office forecast for here-Blairgowrie- speaking of possible blizzards Friday and Saturday......
Snowing now, 2/3 inches, but blowing hard.......it's the wind that does the damage, blowing shite onto the road.

Hmm, promised blizzards have migrated south, however what is already here will blow about. I think the snow is fairly confined to the east, west would be better.

Fine day on the West today. Woke to the sun streaming through my window
MOT due soon so took my front wheel to local tyre fitter and now have a new Tourance with loads of tread 
While the wheel was off I took the opportunity to clean the Callipers and Check the brake pads. Wee clean and a dab of Copper Grease should keep them ticking over for another year. Did the back brake as well. Managed to give the bike a wipe down with a WD40 soaked rag before darkness fell. Checked lights, horn, indicator etc and all seems well. Just to book in for MOT now.We seem to have escaped the Winter down in the Glasgow area as we have hardly had any snow all winter. It lay for one night a week ago and that has been it. Have had far more sunny days and been out on the bike quite a few times already this year. Hope I have not spoken too soon
