Bleak is the right word. But it's just heavy rain so far, rather than snow. This live cam at the top of the Leith Saddle shows no snow, yet.

@BobLefridge @Xas @craftygardennz You take care, Bob. From what you have said I think you are close to the sea. Hope you are not adversely affected by the weather and any flooding.
