http://www.winterhighland.info/cams/glencoe/summit.jpeg  The first UK webcam fresh snow of the winter? Perhaps a bit tool early to wax the skis but it puts thoughts like that a little closer to the forefront of my mind. [sn_bsmil]

The Mountain Weather Information Service has highlighted the risk of whiteout conditions on the higher summits tomorrow (with snow showers combined with squally winds up to 100mph)

So pleased you started this thread, adore Scotland and snow, visiting in February, hopeful that I will see snow even at lower levels then.

There was snow in the 'Gorms at the end of August last year and in 2011 it was (anecdotally) lying in places for a couple of weeks after a late August fall. 

Transient, lying, snow occurs most months - it's rare in July and early August, though not unknown.   Although only ~4,000ft, the Monadh Ruadh have a sub-arctic climate.

I did mention in my forecast on Thursday the risk of blizzards there for tomorrow....

Even here you can feel the colder airmass digging in now so I'm guessing it may be quite wintry up there. Looks to also be a risk of snow showers on the highest peaks in the Lakes tonight/ tomorrow according to the North West forecast.

I think snow could fall across the very highest tops in England, Great Dun Fell is at 1.2C and falling.

When I climbed Ben Nevis in July 2007 there were large patches (half a football pitch size) of snow that had not melted and were significant enough, I would have thought, that they would not melt before the first winter snows arrived. This is a slight aside from the first snowfall issue, but links in with Essan's point about a sub-arctic climate. I am sure there will have been snow areas that survived this summer......

Anyway good to see the Scottish thread up and running, here's to a good season in the highlands 🙂

Loving the weather whatever it brings, snow, rain, wind, sun, heat, all great!

When you look at something like that from East Anglia - It's amazing really.

First snow on the ground here might not be for another 3 months. 

On the other hand - ln the case of 2010 - it was 10 days before the end of November.

Must have been round that time that we had snow in Wiltshire and Bath had up to 3 inches in places (on the higher ground).

Well I live in Hayes not far from Harrow, and I worked in Kingston upon Thames, and both those places did have a dusting of snow that night! I drove home from work in falling snow, between 9-10pm! I am surprised that Harrow had none, being at a higher altitude, but maybe the cloud took a more southerly route?

I'm loving this thread.  It just shows how very different the weather can be within a few miles and it's a good reminder for some of us not to be so IMBY when we talk about our weather. 

Perhaps we could have this thread stickied Mods??.
