[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion]

Aviemore is reporting -15c on the BBC website just now

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 8]

We had snow and sleet last night and then the same again this morning although mostly snow until the last 10 minutes, so hopefully the sky clears and cools as we have lost a couple of inches this weekend but still around 4" inch on the ground and there has now been snow cover for 11 days here and i expect it to still be here when the cold spell returns.

yeah the bbc are back to forecasting the snow to spread pretty far inland now to around the southern highlands. So its strange there earlier forecast was so different

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 7]

Yes probably once but not all week for her, she also said dundee has several feet of snow and on wednesday night the got another 6 inches is this true?

i dont think anywhere in scotland got more than 12" to 18 " at lowish levels i think shes having you on mate

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 7]

bbc has forecast the snow to break up and die down as it reaches south west scotland hopefully there wrong again though

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 7]

i just had a walk to down to drumpelier loch near my work in coatbridge and had a cautious stroll onto the frozen surface. It seems brick hard and you could probably walk all the way across but the furthest i went was about 10 metres, what a cracking winter scene .... But still got minus 6 just now

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 6]

So can someone clarify for me please...... has this cold spell to continue for the next couple of days and then warm up or could we be expecting it to last longer ?????

It just seems strange that any time i've seen snow it has lasted no longer than 5 days or so, and there is already about 8" lying here, with tommorrow being the 8th day of lying snow and there is still talk of more snow and more freezing temps, , im only 20 and have heard my dads stories of winters from the 70s/80s of really cold spells lasting a month at a time and it would be great to see it happen before this global warming kicks in.

Hopefully more snow on the way and it's a cool minus7 here just now

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 6]

Snow has now passed to the east of here but it must have dumped about 3" tonight so i cant complain , i reckon there is about 7" to 8" on the ground now which is by far the largest December snowfall of my life (im only 20) and i have only seen it deeper than this the one time back in the mid 90s.

I wonder what the shotts/harthill area is like would be good to hear if anyone knows.

Good luck to the north and the east for the snow tonight

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 5]

still dumping it down here with massive flakes and no wind its falling in slow motion and its kinda cool to watch

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 5]

yeah its mad up ek in pizza hut kingsgate park and its almost snowed in!

im going to e.k shopping centre leaving at 6 how is the dual carriage way heading in ? As they always seem to get a extra few inch cheers if anyone can help

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 5]

i did not expect this much snow lol and its getting heavier with about 6inch lying now

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 5]

got light snow in coatbridge just now

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 5]

Just catching a moderate snow shower just now, it's been snowing very very lightly most of the night but have not saw a heavy shower since about 6pm hopefully more to follow soon

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 5]

about 2" fell here today and a very heavy shower just passed over bring on the showers !

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 4]

any showers due in the central belt today ? We had a snow shower not long ago but the skies clearing now. Anyone know our chances?

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 4]

turned to heavy snow here now could be a sign of change?cheers

Scott

snow here as well now did not expect that

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 4]

we had heavy snow between 7 and 8 pm it stopped then at half 9 turned to very light rain. Its stopped now and not lost any snow cover by the looks of it. Skies clearing and temp was only at 1oc. Hopefully no more falls or it will be as rain here as well. But around 3" lying at the moment and hoping it will quick around a bit longer !

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 3]

heavy snow has arrived in lanarkshire woohoo

[Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 3]

Just new to the forums here so just an update on my area

About 2" lying here about half of that today. tonight the car thermometer in the car read -2 at five oclock down to -5 at seven oclock, not sure accurate they are though.

So hopefully im not to far from the west to catch a few showers tonight and tommorrow

and could someone tell me what the dew point temperature thing means compared to the normal ?

thanks and hope you all catch a shower or two tonight
