HEADLINES @ 0915Hrs
A cold start again, but already a touch above zero. A few lightish snow showers earlier on this morning.

PITLOCHRY TODAY
There could be a snow shower in the next hour or so (It was snowing when I was on Pitlochry station at 0630!!) Thereafter, it should be dry with spells of sunshine.  Following a frosty night, a cold day ahead, maximum temperature around 2.

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
Cold & mainly dry with clear spells, with frost setting in by late afternoon. Isolated snow showers just possible. Lowest overnight temperature close to -4 to -6.

SUNDAY
A frosty start, but a mainly sunny, if cold day.   Maximum temperature around 1, followed by a frosty night.

More unsettled in the further outlook, but rain or sleet rather than snow seems on the cards.
