I will shortly be travelling down to Hawick in the Scottish Borders to spend Christmas with my family but in the meantime, last night was fairly chilly here in Edinburgh but not all that cold as a ground frost was recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank but no actual air frost as the temperature there dropped only to 1.7°C there.
Now, it has clouded over and given the latest forecasts, I'm not expecting this trip to Hawick (I will be coming back home next Monday) to be anything other than frost-free as well as snow free.
Meanwhile, the temperature here in Edinburgh is currently around 4°C and not even all that cold.😡
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
