| | | Snow in Stirling?
Apparently, last Monday my auntie and uncle were driving through Stirling and it was snowing (they said there was slush on the roads too)! I just got word of this today, I thought it sounded very strange so I'm wondering if anyone near there has heard of or experienced this?
What would cause it to snow in June? Isn't it too warm? Even though it is a bit cool for summer, surely it's not THAT cold. Wouldn't it melt before hitting the ground? |

It snowed in Stirling on the 3rd of June this year. I live about a 30 minute drive away - didn't snow here though. Check this site for proof: BBC - Radio 1 - Greg James - Snow in Stirling - 3 Jan 08

It's from 2008.
And yeah, soft hail sounds more believable. Maybe I can ask them if it could have been that. |

There was snow in parts of the country on the 3rd June, but not heard any reports from today, more likely to be hail as other people have said. |
