FRIDAY 11th MARCH----EVENING

UPDATE @ 1730Hrs
The day began with 3 cms of fresh snow & one or two more snow showers occurred during the morning. However, the lying snow melted quickly, with the day's highest temperature reaching 5.5 degrees(almost 3 degrees below normal)

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Mainly dry & though rather cloudy at times, there should be a few clear spells, leading to a slight frost.

OUTLOOK
 SATURDAY----An area of slow-moving rain & sleet over areas to the south of us, will readily turn to snow as it pushes north into the Highlands. Perhaps low-lying parts, especially close to the East Coast, may escape with sleet or wet snow, but it would appear that our area is lined up for several hours of snow, though perhaps it may be dry to start the day. Places above about 250m are likely to see substantial falls of at least 15cms. The town itself should expect falls of up to 10cms. For much of the time, temperatures will hover between 0 & 2 degrees,with winds from the NE.    SUNDAY is likely to continue wintry, though any further snow accumulations are most likely a.m. 

 A FURTHER UPDATE WILL APPEAR AROUND 0900Hrs SATURDAY
