OK guys, here is the timelapse for Monday
More snow showers than I realised to be fair.

I wonder if it’s to do with the country being in lockdown,, they won’t be expecting the normal traffic levels to warrant a red warning
I dunno, they were pretty fast to slap an amber warning on the SE of the UK.... And they definitely shouldn't be moving about down there....

Not sure why some of these embed and some attach? Either way tremendous full on Beasterly action there...!
This one is MOV - that's an Apple Quicktime format.
HTML5 only has direct play in the browser (ie without any 3rd party apps needed) with MP4 (h264), OGV, VP8 and 9 (WebM) and AV1

Been out with the dog, there is between 3-5cm on the ground.
Multiple times throughout the night it sounded like torrential rain was being slammed against the bedroom window in gusty winds - but it was of course snow. It was quite odd, because I am used to the temperature hovering around 0.1C when it snows, but the temperature dropped through the night and continued to fall. During the heaviest blizzard it was -1.7C
This is how we are looking right now
This was 5am:

Yeah, our road is at least white now - even though cars have driven over it.

OK, here is the 24 hour timelapse, edge-of-the-seat viewing.....

Oh boooooo!
I've just noticed, we actually went up to 0.1C at about 2am. So no, it's not an ice day!
So close too!
(nothing to report on the snow front, radar says yes, reality says no)

The thing with snow is that it blows! So, it can end up some way (sometimes miles) from where it was when the radar detected it by the time it reaches the ground.
This.
It is not uncommon (but is rather magical) in winter to have reasonably heavy snow "falling" from a clear starry sky

Min -0.7C
Currently -0.2C, had several 5 minute bursts of dry powdery snow overnight. No real accumulations though.
Will it be an ice day?

We had snow about 30 minutes ago, it must have been the dry fine stuff because the webcam visibility dropped quite a bit, and suddenly the road and pavements started to turn white and I was quite excited.
And less than 5 minutes later, it's pretty much all gone.
I suspect it was dry stuff landing on (everything is) drenched ground, and basically melting away.
Temperature still -0.1C
You can see a bit of the dusting in the parking bay area on the right

-0.1C/-0.5C (Humidity is still at 97%)
Wind has trended to ESE over the last few hours:
Still a bit gusty, but as far as I can see at the moment - nothing is falling.

2010 was pretty special from what I remember. -12/13 temps and snow day after day. We stayed in Kilmalcolm at the time and I dug the car out most days before work
The thing that surprised me in 2010 - was that this helicopter at Borders General Hospital, was apparently unable to fly because it was too cold!

In the Borders, it was definitely a lot more than 20cm....
The road through our village - a bus route, was closed for about 2 days.

You do realise the depths are mm not cm?
I should hope so
I want some snow, I don't want 2 metres of snow!
And I'm fairly certain there are places that don't want 30m of the stuff. Imagine the damage!

It should be fine, I have it open in a few places here. Are your phone and laptop on the same network?
Yes, both on WiFi - both sitting in the same room. I don't recall it doing it before today.
Now that I have mentioned it - and completed the login dance 4 times, on both devices - apparently the problem has mysteriously gone away.
-
@Paul I'm not 100% is this is a change or not - but - if I have the PWA open on my phone, it now asks me to login and I am logged out on the Laptop. Is this behaviour new?
Surely we can be allowed to be logged in to a few devices?

@edo..... that is making me absolutely speechless! , i just wanna like faint.
I'll probably be in a gap between all the snow - the only place in the East to not see any snow at all...

You're ignoring the fact that the radar is claptrap for many places.
Tell me about it, the radar has had me down for sleet and snow for most of the day.....
Sure... let's go and build a snowman

Forgot about the outside front door light! At least I can see now that it's sleeting a bit amongst the rain!. Got to get up and look out of the window though. Not nearly as handy as the lamppost!
1.7c/1.3c/E/14mph/1017/raining with a bit of sleet mixed in/total today (so far) 10mm.
An IP camera stuck in a window, that's what you need. (Mine is actually a Raspberry Pi)

140 metres. Every little helps!
Stick it in your profile just after your location.

Hovering between 2.3C and 2.4C
It has thrown it down all day, been some rather gusty periods too. River very very full.
I'd tell you how much rain we've had, but the sensor appears to have died some time over the winter.
If it does snow, it'll probably float away....

2009/10 taught me to ignore the models when they try and break down the cold. They were doing it every single run, constantly trying to let the Atlantic back in, even before the snow was actually on the ground. And then run after run, just kept extending the cold by another few days, but still trying to let the Atlantic back in by the end of the run.

Ours are a lot more sporadic. We had one about 15-20mins ago. And it doesn't last long. The predictive radar says the next one isn't going to arrive until 2:40am and again, will only be around 5 minutes of snow.
