Today 0C not bad after the last few days when we had frosts of -5c. Weather forecast always amuses me, no perticular mention of snow except maybe on high ground, Ben More and Sobinian have been covered in snow for days and we have a smattering of snow though further up behind us the slopes are covered with snow. On the east side they have even had their snow gates closed.

After four great days when it was a bit cold, still and very sunny for three of the days, the trail camera showed it started raining about 3:30 this morning. It is still raining around 13 hours later.

Crianlarich 4C. Being absolutely thawted with the weather. The contrator doing work on our lower ground and boardwalk, tried this weekend to come back. What happened! Heavy rain and gales, snow on Ben More and Stobinian. Think we will have to give up till Spring next year. I agree it have been a very wet autumn, here we broke the record for it being the wettest.

Yesterday was an interesting day. Very windy overnight, heavy rain during the day, some sleet in the late afternoon and a brief thunderstorm(which is very unusual for here) in the early evening. Don't know if these were weather related but we had four very brief (ie no more than a minute each)power cuts during the day.

Crianlarich It gets worse major storm over night, could not get to sleep for sleet thrashing nay banging against the roof light and windows. Lots of damage here this morning, the wee bridge over the burn to our water filters is missing its planks, the dam where water is collected for the filters is damaged. On the lower ground the banks on one side of the burn have been undermined and fallen into the burn, the ground under the gabions along to the viaduct under the A82 has been under mined so some of the gabions have slipped down and the earth and turf that was over them is no longer there. The lower ground is flooded. So it is back to square one. I could see nothing on the CCTV cameras except big white blobs. On the news weather this morning it said Tyndrum was the wettest place yesterday with 68cms of rain falling in a day.

Crianlarich 2C Dont know about you guys but we have heavy snow, about 1" so far and everything white and beautiful. Verh surprised that the gritters were not out last night, they are usually so good. The A82 is white with car/HGV tracks showing.

The gales seem to be dying down at last- yesterday's sideways rain was not pleasant. Milder, and even sunny today.

Crianlarich The gales and snow have not eased, We have a stretchof our fencing down, which caused the birds some confusion as it took with it one of the post on which there were bird feeders and also the Red Squirrel feeder. The masses of birds were on the ground frantically feeding, a chaffinch was blown into the nearest window and died. The GWS was hanging on to the electricity pole wondering where its food had gone. The heavy teak bench on the deck was blown over and even though we had tucked the waste bins down the side of the house laden with bricks one blew over. Much to our relief an extremely old and very tall Beach tree which had split down the middle of its double trunk is still standing. We have arranged for people to come in this week to take it down, but it will involve braces and winches to force it to fall, not on the railway or the house or worse the bridge. the intend to pull it to land in and across the burn. This does involve taking a small Larch down first. All very complicated and we are not at all confident it is going to work. Maybe it is just better to let nature take its way and put up with the consequences. My heart goes out to all the people suffering with the floods and bad weather, I could weep for them. I hope none of you are suffering.

I spoke too soon. High winds are back- it's so bad today the feeders were bashing around so that the birds couldn't safely land on them. I've wired them to the feeding station poles to try and hold them steady- it does seem to help.
Helen, I hope for your sake this blows itself out soon... it sounds like you're getting the worst of it up there!

Don't talk to me about today's weather.
A very brief tantalising bit of sun before the clouds rolled in this morning, and since then it's been light rain, sideways rains, very heavy rain with sleet mixed in, gale winds, sun for five minutes, then more rain with sleet.
At this particular moment, it's clear and cold.

After yet more days of steady rain, we've had a full day of sunshine... first one in what seems like weeks. Glorious!
Back to clouds again tomorrow, but at least we've had a break.
