The Kintyre Forum

Came across this image, everywhere on mainland UK is white...well nearly except for the end of the Mull of kintyre and the Mull of Galloway. It'll be nice to see the grass again.

I was speaking to someone yesterday through work who had just returned from Campbeltown as in up and down in the same day. When i asked how things were, he said it was strange seeing green fields again. He actually seemed a bit bemused by this. Fot those in Kintyre, Glasgow has never seen anything like this. The low temperatures, pavements, roads. This is now over three weeks of this stuff, Minus temps most of the tme. Yesterday morning -10 in my street. 2 miles from Glasgow city centre. Brrrrrr

Yes, it is quite odd looking at the map. Certainly is cold here (Campbeltown) but nothing compared to everywhere else. I took some photos today which I will post later tomorrow if I get a chance.

Going to head up the hill tomorrow. I'm sure it will be alot colder up there.

Amazing picture however,

quite a difference here in Southend this morning. Much less cold, a different air and feel to it. Frozen pipes to cattle sheds running again, which is a great relief!

Yes, it seems a lot warmer in the town today - well not warm exactly but you know what I mean, arond 3 degrees! Yesterday morning it was -5 in the town, -7 from Whitehouse to Lochgilphead and -10 by Kilmichael. I think its to stay above freezing in the Campbeltown area for the next few days so we should get a bit of a thaw.

Sure was cold "Bohb".Went up the road Friday afternoon to see family at Largs, then drove back to Glasgow accommodation late Friday night and it was bitter cold.
Photo's taken from the Heritage Hotel on Great Western Road at around 10am Saturday morning and does anyone recognise the brave posty in his summer attire?

Quite a bit of snow up here this morning. It is cold.

Hows the town?

Funny I remember '79, waist deep it was

Yesterday saw weegieland have a decent thaw.....then this morning its just back to as it was in your pics of the west end. Mind you, its my own fault, I insisted on clearing mithers front path on Tuesday, with a mind to her getting out to the bank, (83yrs and aint been over the door since 16Dec), It was bound to snow after that activity. '79? well that would be the year they had to light fires under the buses to defrost the diesel, wonder what health and safety would think to that!
Never mind, it'll soon be June.
