Monday:

Pootling about underneath the castle.

Pretty.

Castle from Princes Street. More snow coming across, which is why the sky is that odd colour. This was about 3ish.

Snow coming in from the left.

Close up, and about to disappear in a blizzard.



These are from this evening.

A selection of hail stone sizes. Teeny tiny ones and ones that were about 6mm across.

Closer. They look like polystyrene balls.

Snow on the roof with craters from Giant Hailstones.

And again.

Attack of the polystyrene! This is out my kitchen window.

It looked like this, though with a teensy bit more snow.

Then it blizzarded.

Then it looked like this.

And this.

Anndd this.

Then it cleared up, having left us with an inch or so of snow in about 20 minutes.

The street next to us.

Wiggly! Watched a large white van failing to make it up the hill. He kept slipping sideways.

Incidentally, I don't know what it is, but whenever it snows at night, there are always packs of young men out and about in the street, howling like werewolves. Could it be that they're secretly Twilight fans? "Aaaawwwooooooooooo!" I do wish they'd shut up...
