It's been raining canines and felines these past couple of days, so much so that Dingwall, my local town saw parts of it evacuated due to flooding. Some local wags saw this as an opportunity to sail up and down the High street in their boats!
I avoided all this as i was down in Edinburgh working for Alpha Mountaineering as a safety consultant for the upcoming Irvine Welsh TV series 'Wedding Belles'. The weather was incredibly windy but the rain (mostly) stayed off.
It seems that the first snows have fallen on the tops last night and the air temperature up there is currently below freezing. I think that it will take a wee while yet to freeze the saturated ground, but it's a sign that winter could be around the corner.
