Quick question, Max today was 0C (now -0.7C) - do I get an ice day or does it need to be a minus figure?

WOW!
Just been out to the garden with the dog. I wasn't really expecting a massive increase on the pictures I took at 10pm last night. There is easily 5-8cm just at the backdoor making it difficult to open. The steps up to the backyard have pretty much vanished. Anywhere we walked last night has vanished.
It's still not deep as 2010, when I had to wear recycling bags on my legs because the snow was quite literally up to my knees.
I'll try and get photos and measurements in an hour or so.

Out of interest - Traffic Scotland crashed for anyone else? at 6:35am just when plenty of people need it to be working?

Lorry’s are stuck on the bypass apparently
Funnily enough, I have just been sat here thinking - there are usually a string of lorries coming through the village between 5am and 6:30am. But I haven't seen any lorries this morning. I wonder if the A697 further south (Wooler and Alnwick) has been pasted and they can't get through?

It's times like this - that I am so happy I spent the time to code a timelapse webcam.
Even yesterday had a lot more snow - enjoy all 2 minutes of what I am going to dub "The battle to keep the road clear" (spoiler alert: they didn't)
EDIT:
Also for people who like to keep an eye on BordersWeather. The webserver which has been dutifully service the site since 2006, died a few days ago. Until I can figure out how to proceed - here is a temporary replacement that offers the webcam and basic weather data, updating roughly every 2 minutes automatically -

I flew down to London from Edinburgh for a meeting and I was the only one in the office as the buses and trams had stopped running!
It really was astonishing. People having to walk home for 3 or 4 hours. And yet you could still see the road!

@Dundeeguy The Met Office would have a red warning out AND the transport system would be shut down if there was a dusting expected in London.
That year that it snowed in London in November, the transport systems did actually shut down, I remember watching the news astonished that the busses had stopped running - and you could still see the white lines on the road!

OK here is the update from the Borders.
Overnight low: -2.9C @ 8:53am
Current max: 0.9C @ 11:39am
Haven't been out with a ruler, but from popping out with the dog - I would say there is between 8-13cm on the ground. Around tea time yesterday, there was between 1-3cm on the ground.
Currently: (fluctuating) -0.6, -0.5C, -0.4C

If I still lived there I would troll you and go and drive up and down there multiple times
You'd be saving the council a job.... The gritter would normally have been through at least twice by now....
And then around 5am, all the delivery trucks start coming through.

Everytime you post that image I zoom in to see who's walking down the street only to be reminded that it's a traffic island
Hopefully, I'll post that image - and you won't be able to see the traffic island

We could also be talking about ice days anywhere that's under a streamer
We reached -0.1C on Monday, that was our maximum. So we definitely achieved an ice day!

Edinburgh City Council have just been round here polishing the road as it's on their list! Hate it! I've moved to the back window!
It does however have the benefit, that you can time how long it takes for the tracks to be hidden again.
It started snowing again about 2 minutes ago.
So yeah, pretty heavy.

It's quite fascinating now. Watching showers arrive just south of Dunbar, and when they hit land, suddenly they really intensify. Oranges and reds showing on the radar. The same is happening right now just south of Berwick too.

If I'm still up at 4am the conversation may look something like this
I was going to suggest that Tesco is 24 hours.... but of course you can't buy alcohol in the middle of the night.....

@101_North have you had a look at the predictive radar? The blob due over Edinburgh at 4:05am is massive!

Sadly, my monitoring equipment is definitely to 1dp, and it's in a reasonably good DIY stevenson shield since it's south facing.
