MON 23rd FEB

A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!

THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY

.12cms of snow with me this morning (rather more than BBC Weather suggested). The rainfall equivalent of all this (achieved by pouring a measured amount of hot water into the funnel of the rain gauge, which must then be subtracted from the total amount measured), makes the past 24hrs by far the wettest this month, though this is still well down on average.
There should be a steady thaw today, with any showers rather on the sleety side, so a choice of shovelling away on snow-clearing ,or letting nature slowly take its course!

Weather-related public transport delays included the 1019 train to Glasgow which was 70 mins late, while the service to London Kings Cross was 22 mins down.  (Incidentally, from March 1st, East Coast ceases to exist, replaced by Virgin East Coast (90% owned by Stagecoach).
National Express coach service to Coventry, left Pitlochry 35 mins late this morning presumably due to A9 problems coming from Inverness.
