Cold today, went out, no snow, but cold enough for it. Went across the street to the football pitch, was painful. Any snow over there in Scotland?

Beagan ceartchaidh:

an-diugh
chaidh mi a-mach
cinnteach

gu bheil an cuimheasachd bùir gu leòr airson. Saoilidh mi gun canar air a shon, ach chan eil mi cinnteach.

a bheil sneachd sam bith ann an-siud, ann an Alba?

'buìr' saoilidh mi nach eil sin ro chùmanta b'fheàirrde dhut le 'ìosal'

Tha mi eòlach air cuideigin a tha builteach a ràdh, ' tha faileadh sneachd san adhair.'

bùir isn't very common, you'd be better with 'ìosal'

I know someone who is likely to say, 'tha faileadh sneachd san adhair'

Tha e cho fuar 's gu bheil faileadh sneachd san adhair?

Saoilidh mi gu bheil faileadh sneachd san adhair ann an Inbhir Narann an-diugh

Tha i a' cur sneachda an-dràsda.
It's snowing right now.

Chan eil e a' cuir sneachd an-diugh. Fhuair uiread sneachda an deireadh sheachdainn sa chaidh. Ach tha i -22C. Caran fuar, dhiùlt an cù agam dhol a-mach air cuairt. Thug mi sùil air geàrr-cunntas na h-aimsir airson Juneau ann an 2007 agus bha e 0.5 C nas fhuaire nan àbhaist le 14 làithean le reòthadh os cionn na an àbhaist. Agus 's e bliadhna a bu shneachdaiche bho riamh. Ach a dh'aindeoin sin, leagh an eighr-shruth air ais 500 troimh!

No snow today. We got some snow last weekend. But it's -22C. Rather cold, my dog refused to go out for a walk. Don't blame her. I that a look at the climate summary for 2007 for Juneau. 0.5 C colder than normal, no surprise. 14 more days than normal with frost. Snowiest year on record. Oddly, in spite of that, the glacier here melted back 500 feet.

Tha i fliuch, tha i fuar, tha i sgòthach, tha i garbh. Chan eil i snog amm an Northampton.

It is wet, it is cold, it is cloudy, it is rough. It is not nice in Northampton.

Tha i glè ghaothach an-seo
It is very windy over here

Bha an t-sneachd ann nas tràithe. Tha i -1C an-dràsta... Brr!
It was snowing earlier. It is -1C now.

Tha i rud beag nas blàithe an-seo.
It's a bit warmer over here.

Bha an t-sneachd an-dè, ach cha do socraich. An-diugh, tha i grianach ach fuar.

It was snowing yesterday, but did not settle. Today, it is sunny but cold.

Bha an t-sneachd ann

Bha an t-sneachd... = the snow was...

Bha an t-sneachd ann = There was snow


Cha do chreid mi gur e am facal ceart a th' ann "socraich".
I don't think "socraich" is the right word

Gabh air do shocair = be at ease

Ciamar a chanas sinn e?

Obh obh....

I suspect I may have been overusing the dictionary....

Let's go back to basics: Tha i fuar! It is cold!

Dè mu dhéidhinn:

Cha do dh'fhuirich e

no

Cha do laigh e / cha robh e a' laighe?

Tha e air falbh mu thràth should be OK too - it is already gone.

Bha i brèagha an diùgh, bha i buileach blàth ach bha i gaothmhor.

It was beautiful today, it was quite warm but still windy.

tha i grianach, an dìugh

it is sunny today
