It was on the Countryfile forecast yesterday Tony. Even reckoned it would snow here, hasn't yet though, just cold and wet again.

Sandy and Carol are on North Harris at the moment. They say it is bitterly cold, horizontal rain, with very strong winds, but they are loving every moment. They will join us at Gairloch.

No need to go that far,there's snow cover over Ben Lomond and there's a motorway up the side of that one :roll:
