The vilest day yet from this degenerate, utterly repulsive, tiresome and unpleasant filth strewn horror season of unrepentant garbage.
Not only do we have to endure yet more toxic cold rain, when traditionally less snowy parts of the country get snow, but now the added misery of stong winds too.
I wrote this winter off before it started and it's clear now that nothing is going to change. It's just getting ever more hopeless and depressing with each week that passes. Could never have imagined it would be this ridiculously foul and awful. How the hell can Edinburgh get yet another snowfall when even inland Aberdeenshire gets rain?
It's beyond credulity. The whole of NE Scotland even 30 miles from the coast now has the same dire climate as Rattray Head and Fraserburgh. Absolutely horrific. Aboyne must have averaged 40 days of snow a year. All it had last winter were a few days of maybe 5cm at the end of February and this year it's had no more than 3cm. This is the current dismal scene at the Gliding Club even further inland from Aboyne towards Dinnet almost 30 miles from the coast

The unbelievably pathetic run of winters from 2014 to 2018 seem almost decent compared to the even more stupefyingly dreadful dross we've had thrust upon us over the last three years.
I'll write next winter off as well now and the one after and the one after that. Just seems to be stuck in a hopeless rut of never ending misery. Everything good and enjoyable about the climate here in the past (not much admittedly) has been taken away as with life itself at the moment and the nightmare of virtual house arrest that we are currently living under is made a hundred times worse by this putrid weather which is nothing like anything we ever suffered from before.
Doesn't matter what time of year it just feels like all we get is punishment weather that can only be endured not enjoyed and it just keeps getting worse and worse. The last eight months since June has been about the most unrelentingly dire period of weather I've ever endured. Month after month of diabolical, wet, soul destroying rubbish, September excluded.
