In the middle of January we had a few days of remarkably clear atmospheric conditions. The snow clad mountains of the highlands to the west and north of Perth looked close enough to touch!
We had the good fortune to visit Kilbryde Castle Gardens and see their abundant snowdrops.
We had a lovely walk through fields by the Tay at Newburgh on a beautiful blue sky day. It looked good enough to swim but was just above freezing!
Finally there was some snow in Scotland so on 5th January after consulting webcams and weather forecasts we set off to Glencoe. We found a little snow and saw a lovely sunset on the way home.
We finally went to visit Drumderg wind farm which we see from the top of the hill in our local park in Perth. It was a day of glorious blue skies with the snow clad high peaks gleaming in the background. Nice to see cattle on the farm too.
A month of few sunny days, but when there was sun we got out and about to Loch Fascally, Cloan Glen, the Firth of Forth and Drumpellier Country Park.
In the middle of February we had a cold spell and 15 centimetres of snow, unusually feather light powder snow, which covered everything. Then the weather remained freezing and still so the delicate decoration remained for a couple of days. Perth looked so picturesque bathed in gentle winter sunshine.
January was a true winter month with frost, snow and atmospheric skies.
Low sunlight in December makes many colourful scenes.
