Hi Folks,

New to the forum but can't believe the conditions over the last 15 days! Originally from the West ( Dumbarton) and moved to Livingston in 2000 and this major snow event is something that will remain with me and my family for a long time. I'm in my mid thirties and I still cant remember a snow event like this in my lifetime (maybe Dec 1981- Jan 1982?) but this is slightly vague. We have had about a foot of lying snow and the council haven't touched the side streets and I have taken photos from around the 17th Dec. when we had our first snowfall. I was the named driver last night for Hogmanay and the temperature was -12 at 1AM at Livingston, combined with lying deep snow. Can you explain why Livingston and the surrounding areas have experienced major snow events, quite localised in my opinion, whereas 10/15 mies down the road, snow levels are greatly decreaeased? Anyway, all the best for the New Year.

Cheers

John

Hi everyone, I am very new to this watching the weather lark, but am absolutely fascinated by it! I used to check the BBC weather website, but over time, found it was rather inaccurate when there was a changeable weather in place. I have since discovered netweather.tv, and am well chuffed with it, because there is a lot of information on here, but put in such a way, a complete novice can understand whats going on!!!!

Weather in glasgow these last few weeks has been very interesting to me, as am not used to seeing snow this far west!!

Just to let you know, there is a good cloud cover at present in east glasgow (baillieston), but no snow as yet. Totally freezing cold though. What sort of things would I be looking for, to know whether it will snow or not? Btw, BBC weather (usually at odds with netweather forecasts!) is backing it up by suggesting glasgow will have sleet, rain then light snow on saturday! Will look forward to seeing if this works out as is suggested.

Also, big up to the "Fishmeister", as he is an amazing forecaster, and I have grown up hearing and seeing his reports.

Any help with the above query would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

This is my first post and I thought I would share with you some pictures from a snowy winter wonderland here in Livingston, Scotland.

Thanks
