Snow reported

I haven't noticed any snow myself out here on the palm-fringed east coast of Scotland, but apparently in Dundee itself, a scant 6 miles to the west, a few flurries were spotted today. Although snow in April always causes eyebrows to rise around these parts, it really shouldn't. Snow during spring is actually fairly common in Scotland, although not to the extent where it stays on the ground and the MSM goes nutty with stories of motorists stranded and councils running out of grit. After all, when you consider that Dundee is further north than every major city in Canada, even the Gulf Stream can't keep the effects of the arctic away all the time. When the wind blows from the north, as it is doing today, it will naturally enough get colder.
