How late in the year does it snow there?
Usually we get snow into springtime - I have even seen snow on the hills around here in May, and on one occasion in the first week of June, though after the end of February it would be very unusual for the snow to lie for more than a day or so - it usually thaws quickly - the blizzards we experienced at the end of February/beginning of March 2001, were exceptional.
We got another fall of snow last night so today I wore my other (light blue) denim Union kilt.
