prettygoodwordglotten (GLOT-en, GLAWT-en) - (Scot.) n., a partial thaw. v., to partially thaw.
Origin uncertain, but the root sense seems to be to be overspread with something wet, as water over partially thawed ice.
And that wraps up a run of 5 of the 421 words for snow in Scots English. Back next week with the usual mix.
