Was just out to get coal from the bunker and shone the flashlight into the fog. And a sparkling sea of snizzle glinted back - the tiniest of snow flakes but millions of them slowly cascading to the ground. Bootiful. 0.1°C.
Sigh....
We are fluctuating between 1.2C and 1.1C

Great video - well worth a watch! Plenty of detail from North to South regarding snow potential.I see why we aren't covered by the amber warning now. We miss quite a lot of that snow, getting rain instead.

Storm Christoph: Snow warning in south-east Scotland upgraded
WWW.BBC.CO.UKAn amber alert is issued for parts of south-east Scotland as "challenging conditions" continue.Yes, Lauder is very much under the amber warning area. When it arrives - if you could just pop outside and blow in to the air a bit, perhaps you can nudge it just a tiny bit further East so Greenlaw just sneaks in.....

Accuweather and Weather.com (which annoyingly Google use) is consistently useless for my location. Quite often the temperature is wildly out. They might as well just tell me the temperature at Charterhall (perhaps they are), which is a few miles down the road. We are essentially in a frost hollow here, in the winter it is not unusual to see the temperature drop as much as 2C when entering the village.
The other day it was -4 outside, and the Chromecast (thus Google and therefore Weather.com) were saying... oh it's 2C outside. Sorry that's not good enough, there is a massive difference in potential road conditions there.

Yup, it doesn't quite reach as far East as me....

Earlier tonight it did in fact start to sleet here in the Borders, and the air temperature dropped to 0.5C, but it didn't last long, and the temperature is now 1.6C / 0.7C and it's just wet, lots and lots of wet.

I'm told via my Facebook weather page that it's snow in Peebles, Selkirk and up the Megget Valley and rain or sleet everywhere else in the Borders.
Can confirm, definitely rain in this part of the Borders....

Is there a Charts/Models Anonymous Support Group? You know for when you know you shouldn't look, but just can't help it?

As I've been out of the weather circles for a bit, because of the previously given reason - I just wanted to ask a quick question. Have the various lockdowns, restrictions and grounding of flights - had a noticeable impact on the accuracy of the weather models?

The mystery deepens.
Yes! BBC says snow here, Netweather was saying a small amount of snow earlier, but now has decided no snow for me....

My neighbour / extended support bubble has just WhatsApp'ed me to tell about the BBC forecast, because I have a prescription to pick up for her... They must be pretty sure about the forecast for them to be speaking about it like it's set in stone?

Pick a topic, any topic and you'll find an expert on Twitter Was genuinely curious after never hearing of the guy before. Not curious enough to start my own research though
Wondered the same, especially since he's not important enough on Twitter to have a name without a number in it.... Anyway A quick Google finds he is from UK Weather World. That doesn't really make things much clearer for me to be honest.

Until they fix the issue that is crashing the site - you can get to the met warning directly using the link: Met Office Snow Warning (taken from the RSS feed)

The GEFS for here is certainly trending low for the air pressure, but the T850 is trending up towards 0 and doesn't come back down to -5 until Friday now.

haha! Sadly, my husband passed away in July, and he was the driver. I'm pretty much housebound now.

@Kirkcaldy Weather The GFS Ensembles are also suggesting the low will rapidly deepen.

Although we achieved 4.4C earlier today, the stuff that froze BEFORE the snow arrived, is now exposed and there is slippy ice everywhere.

The snow, didn't manage to cover the road, it turned to rain a lot faster than I was expecting.
It's currently 3.8C here, it's risen 0.8C in the last hour. The snow in the back yard is melting fast, but the thick ice is not shifting yet.

Just dipping in to report an absolutely disgusting sleety/slashy/frozen rainy mix in a howling wind at 0.8°C. Nothing good will come of this.
Interesting, I wonder if we will do better here - it's -1.9C here.
