Had better but also worse starts to February. 

* insert choice of adjectives here; temp and rain are a constant

All making the current 5.2 C & mid-90% H feel cold and damp, but at least winds are light. 

Another gloomy damp day at 4 C in the city, 2.2 C up at Swanston. I see the Pentlands above 400m are turning white with a thin dusting!

Light showers continue to be blown in on a E wind and are turning to snow over 200m

It's a shame we don't have heavier precipitation

The Pentlands continue to turn white

5.4, dew 4.8, the high being 6.6 and last night's low being 4.8.

It is down to 0.9 C at Swanston so light snow must be starting to settle up there at 200m

Certainly at 300m before it gets dark I can see from the cameras that it's much whiter

In the last 14 days I've seen blue sky and sun once! (6+ hrs on 28 Jan) Edinburgh had over an hours sun last Saturday (but I was in gloomy Nottingham)

I do struggle with cold gloom day after day, with barely 8 hrs of daylight up here!

This morning, once again it's gloomy with light rain, currently 2.8 C and this pattern looks like repeating for the next 5 days!

The only slight interest is a bit of sleet in the heavier bursts, from the Pentland Hills cameras below, you can see snow lying at 300m + (a few miles to my south)
