As I have woken up this morning, everything has a very unusual look about it just now.
We are still holding on to our 1cm of snow from last night here in NW Edinburgh and as I look out over the Firth of Forth, even the Island of Inchkeith has a covering, despite being located in the middle of the Firth of Forth.
Yet there is nothing more than a very slight dusting at most on the Pentland Hills with Arthur's Seat looking completely green which suggests that the city centre appears to have largely missed out for now on this one.
However, we are now approaching the Spring Equinox and the Sun is now gaining more strength every day as a result. Because of that, I would be very surprised if our own snow cover lasted right up until the end of today without any further fresh falls, especially on those surfaces which the Sun will be shining onto for the most amount of time overall.
For now though, it is actually mostly cloudy and so, there is nothing more than the odd glimpse of the Sun being seen at times. If that was to continue for the rest of the rest of the day, that might keep everything that bit colder and thus help to preserve our snow cover for that bit longer.
However, there is also a lot of blue sky to my north. If anything, everything seems be be clearing away from the north at the moment and that would suggest that the Sun will get through eventually.
