Crazy how quick the snows melted. Still quite a bit this morning and now nothing other than the mountains neighbours have made outside drives- mine included ?.
Good though as it’s such a mess in the later stages.
Lovely out today . Really mild.
MO still hanging onto a sparkle of hope regards a possible cold shot early March in the extended .
Works for me.-

Yep, and the ECM // showing similar that time.
MO also not moving away from the possibility in the extended.
To be fair, it is still only February. Plenty time for another cold shot.

Lots of reports of Thundersnow around Stonehaven and Laurencekirk area on Facebook, but nothing on the detectors. Maybe it’s doesn’t show in snow compared to rain on them ??

The sleep patterns really take a hit when snow is in the offingcurtain twitching lampost watch cursing the radar for showing pink when there's sod all falling eventually nodding off thinking bugger nothing tonight for me,wake up to the 0zs like a dedicated coldie look out the curtain and discover you've got a good fall through the night ,smile then go to work happy it's draining it really is but we do it because we love the chase of snow
the battles of ECM v the others. The GFS v the others, praying for an agreement with them all,a rare thing indeed but to be certain of snow the good old Met must be on board,anyhoo back to radar watching model runs and lampost watching for a few more days till the next time .great company in tough times for the nation.
Yeh, it’s brutal chasing snow, but I’ve always been amazed by it, since I was tiny
.
On a positive, it’s likely snowing here again from the tiniest piece of convection

This spell had been brilliant fun watching it unfold on here. All the pics and endless enthusiasm from everyone. Not posted much but always watching.
The whole things has been quite a commitment , from watching the MOD since early December and then that increasing to watching every model run start to finish for 3 weeks prior to the spell - and all the ups and downs that come with that.
Then the pain of the transition due to the slow moving occlusion getting out the road prior to deep cold air arriving. Followed by 20 hrs of grey sky easterly and the worry of that - a dry easterly.
Eventually the convection started built and brought deep snow to most down the east side and right through the Central Belt. A few mystery MO warnings along the way to cause more confusion.
But magical end results. Lots of late nights, some almost sleepless watching lampposts and hours working out blob movement on the radars.
Excellent posts for the more knowledgable to help it along and input from everyone to get a picture right across Scotland.Been a blast but not sure I’ve the energy to chase another one this season .... .

So we are now defo on the north side of the convergence and have a blob from the NE moving down and picking up convection- I assume as it meets it. Everything been due east up till now

I’m certain the level snow is now deeper that 2010 here. There were more drifts then but this level. Must be around 10” now.

Slowly becoming buried from this stream ...... very 2010 ish.
2018 was very high winds and didn’t give us depth like this.-

The band in the NS looks to be expanding as it approaches. Less gaps as it moves east

Not posted in here for ages, but this event turning out quite well so far here.
The tail of that line stretching out into the North Sea appears to moving slightly north aswell behind the shallow convection off Aberdeen.-

What's happened to MO site? Doesn't look like it's updated since this morning on any of the pages

Greetings kilted thread.
MOT in meltdown. Likely to overload tonight. Fantastic charts to see. Hopefully some fun on route.

Hello everyone. Been a long time since I posted here.
The Utd game that's just been stopped with the hailstorm. Very unusual to get hail like that in frontal rain.
Hope everyone's well.

Good chance this will be my last post of the winter 2013. Other interests to pass the summer before I return later this year. It's been fab as always. And great to be able to sign off by passing congratulations on to Lorenzo and family. Have a great summer with the new addition. All the best Lorenzo.

Day 10 of consecutive snow fall.
Couple off cms covering again. Heavy showers passing over just now.
-
Estimated time when Scotland will get a shot on goal....???
Unlikely before the end of this cold spell.......
-
Based purely on Skew-T (for Aberdeen) I see good potential convection this evening and overnight with thicker clouds and a higher inversion.
Winds are also fovourable with lack of shear, leading to organised bands of showers off the E'lies.
Granted, N'Sea SSTs had been warmer it would have been much more subtantial. But with ifs...
Dusting thus morning and some snow falling.
Does the Skew-T look good further south for this evening? LS also mentioned this yesterday from charts for this evening and overnight
-
Ok ill take Saturday 6th April. Somewhere in the south west as I feel after the mother of all breakdowns.
Disclaimer : the above is based on utterly nothing.
-
A few flurries passing through. Looking for some the other side of midnight to reach day 9 of consecutive snowfall. Who would have thought.
-
Heavy showers at 05:30 have left a covering again this morning, hopefully the convection will begin to increase.
-
Tuesday and Wednesday could be the convection days going by Countyfile. A glimmer of hope. Possibly Significant was used to describe it.
Also backed up LS's technical post..... ta.
Looking not too bad.
-
Quite a few flurries since lunch time. Last couple have been nearly worth watching. Still brief but a little heavier than this morning.

If the insane charts from GSF deep in fi are to be believed, start March could be fun. Was going to post a couple but will hold off a day or 2 and see if there is life in it. ECM possibly toying with building heights to the north or NE right at the end of the run but that may all be gone breakfast time tomorrow.
Certainly nice charts to look at and I’d enjoy another chase.
