September snow in Cairngorms could be signal of another bitter winter - The Daily Record

SNOWFALL in the Cairngorms on Saturday - before the end of offical British Summer Time - have sparked fears we could be facing another long, cold winter.

Temperatures in the Highland mountain range plummeted below freezing as a couple of inches of snow fell at the weekend despite it still being September.

Other parts of Scotland also suffered their coldest September temperatures for nearly 30 years as double figures sank to below zero and frost appeared.
