    A shower of snow flakes incoming from the east....i noticed the wind has picked again and it feels colder.

    For those of you interested in snow to rain ratios, here's my measurements at 09hr today. Snow depth, 30mm. Melted snow in gauge. Water equivalent, 2.9mm. Density, water content mm divided by the depth mm Density, 0.1 This is your classic ''ten to one'' snow Since the snow was mod/heavy and accompanied by a strong wind, I decided to sample the snow by inverting the funnel in order to get a more accurate reading in terms of rainfall equivalent. Using a spare gauge i took a sample in a nearby field. Snow depth near sample, 3cm to max 3.5cm Water equivalent as above, 3.9mm Density, 0.12

    Near whiteout here, the heaviest snow yet and smaller flakes

    Snowing again, big flakes and settling.

    Max 1.7C There were snow flurries on Leven beach this morning despite a fresh onshore wind and high tide. Quite sunny up until 15hr.. Then, frequent moderate snow showers but just a thin fresh covering. Temp dipped below zero in the snow. North-east Fife is really white just 8km up the Cupar road in the New Gilston, Largoward and Largo Law area.

    My understanding of it is it depends on the density of the snow. eg. wet snow, temp at or above zero, 10mm of rain=5cm of snow dry snow, temp well below zero, 10mm rain=20cm snow

    Still a very thin patchy snow cover here. Some changes this afternoon. The Stratcocumulus sheet has dissolved from the SE, skies are clear overhead now. Quite a haze developing with a moderate south-est breeze. Current temp 0.3C, wet-bulb 0.0C. I tried to induce an ice-bulb by touching the bulb with some snow....still reading 0.0C.

    A surprise snow shower at 0610hr when I left for work in Leven. It settled on all surfaces. The snow was heavier in Leven with big fluffy flakes. Depth on my board at 09hr, a mere 3mm. We've had further, mainly light, snow showers throughout today with small snow pellets at times. Mind you, the snow started as rain in Buckhaven at 1045hr. There is noticeably more snow towards the east Neuk, and in the Wemyss and Kirkcaldy areas.

    Its snowing here .... a few flakes. Can see the Stars.

    There's a good chance of a repeat tomorrow as an occludded front pushes back in from the east. Uppers are -6C at 12z tomorrow. They were -6C in the east today. So probably marginal again with settling snow mainly above 100m, especailly 200m -8C uppers spread into the east tomorrow night with proper snow showers. However, the flow is weak so I don't think they will get that far inland

    Snow has turned to sleet here. A patchy cover on grass, 0.5cm deep on my snow board. Probably 3-4cm at 200masl nearby.
  12. snow1975
    Moderate snow, medium to big flakes. Not settling on wet ground. Earlier cover is patchy now. Still pure white on local hills above 175m.
  13. snow1975
    Big flakes again, still melting on landing.
  14. snow1975
    Here's a snow update for me. I put my snow board oot last night so I can measure accurate depths. At my 0900hr ob, <0.5cm.....0.5C and 0.1C wet-bulb. Depth increased to 1cm by 1130hr. The snowline is very sharp, at pretty much station level. Below 100m, nothing. I drove to Kirkcaldy after 09hr. Snow turned to sleet in Windygates area and snow in KK, but not settling. Came back, then I walked up the local hill. Just short of an inch at 200masl with snow sticking to everything but couldn't see far due to fog. Currently, light snow falling, but melting on landing.

    De Ja vu with another mid Atlantic high....just a waiting game for another cold shot from the north or east.
  16. snow1975
    It the ECM 12 is right, I think snow is more likely then rain/sleet with slightly upgraded colder uppers; Notice the -10 uppers on this chart, coupled with east winds...heavier snow showers anyone?
  17. snow1975
    The fax charts don't show a warm sector, just an occlusion. A warm occlusion. If the precip band is heavy then it should be a band of snow, especially above 100m. If its light precip, then sleet more likely. Behind the front I'd expect rain and wet underfoot.
  18. snow1975
    Looking at the charts, a westerly flow develops and uppers rise to -4C (warm sector?) so I wouldn't be surprised to sleet rather than snow for the bulk of us.
  19. snow1975
    No snow here today. I suppose the Met were correct to lift the yellow warning from the bulk of Fife yesterday. I think the Se wind has blown the showers up the coast. My wet-bulb temperature was hovering around 2C to 2.5c today. Looking ahead to the easterly flow this coming week, Ideally, we need uppers to be 2-3C colder than they are at present. I reckon uppers are -6C at present, so -9C or lower would be perfect for lying snow to low levels here in the east.

    ECm ends on a high with real cold heading west through Scandinavia
  21. snow1975
    It looks like ECM is following the GFS and GEM. THe latest JMA also sinks the high. The MET at 144h now looks the odd one out.
  22. snow1975
    Just looked at the models. GFS/BOM and GEM want to bring back the Atlantic. GFS cold zonal in FI. MET at 144h looks good for another undercut and is similar to yesterday's JMA. ECM has a mid lat high. I think there'll be heavier snow showers on Tue/Wed due to better easterly and -8 to -10C uppers.
  23. snow1975
    The really cold air gets into Scandinavia 10 days from now. I hope with a combination of the SSW and deep Atlantic lows on a southerly track would help strengthen the E/NE winds and advect this intense cold pool towards us
  24. snow1975
    The ECM is near identical to BOM at T+240h44
  25. snow1975
    Chec the BOM out...best of a mediocre bunch
