Mark Vogan, who keeps a close eye on weather across the United Kingdom for us, sends us these beautiful shots of snow in the Scottish Highlands. You can see how breathtaking the region is just by taking in Mark’s photos. He writes:
“Had a wonderful day. A drive from our home town of Kirkintilloch to the highland's capitol of Scotland, Inverness. It was a cold, frosty morning here and on our 150+ mile journey up through the magnificant Grampian Mountains and Cairngorms National Park to Inverness we encountered very cold temperatures. Indeed I sprayed the windshield continuously with antifreeze because of the road salt creating a dirty film of the windshield. This froze instantly to not only the windshield but created an ice buildup on the wipers, which at one point I needed to stop and scap off the ice from the wipers which became useless.”
Mark reports Loch Ness is among these images. Thanks Mark for this report and for sharing these awesome images of Scotland with us!
