-1.4C. A real joy to have snow falling in subzero conditions for a change. We didn't manage an ice day today, it rushed up to 0.9C at lunch time but fell back very quickly. Maybe tomorrow..... Finally caught the edge of a blob a moment ago. First time we've had actual snow falling today rather than graupel.

Four times more than here. The world has gone mad About bloody time you got some though. Is that the most since 2010?

Erm...at what point should I get the snow shovel out do you think?

Don't even have 1cm here yet. As per usual we're still splitting those blobs just before they arrive and we just get clipped

Waiting for the AA this morning

Ugh,I'm having flashbacks!

The cold is the headline here this morning rather than the snow. -2.2C, which is pretty good for us Any showers coming through have been fizzling out in the 20 miles between us and the coast....which is reminiscent of previous easterlies tbh.

Just a couple of snowy piccies from today. The hill emerged from the murk this morning for the first time since Monday I think......and still looked fairly white considering how much rain we had the other day(s): ...and then the view south to East Cairn and West Cairn in the Pentlands, as seen from Beecraigs this afternoon

Bless. You just won the thread

I've been up there quite a bit the past few weeks and it always holds the snow better than here. Seems it clung onto the snow there long after it turned to rain here.....plus of course they got as much as we did on Mon Tues Weds. Grand, thanks v much for that

Ooo, can you ask them whereabouts that is? Looks a bit like Innerdouny Hill, but with spruce plantations in the Ochils you never can tell Got a day off tomorrow so want to head to the where the best local snow is. While we do get snow here from these set ups we also seem to sit in a weird blank spot that only ever gets clipped, rather than dumped. We did okay in 2010 but it was Edinburgh and the Lothians that sat under the showers for days and got pummelled. Then in 2018 it was east Fife, Lochore Meadows, Cowdenbeath that got the lion's share but also right along the Tay got it too. I vivdly remember being up on East Lomond on 28th Feb, under blue skies, watching streamers pile along the Tay and the Forth...with us in the middle, wondering what all the fuss was about

It’s been snowing intermittently much of the day here but has only started settling in the last hour. 1C with a light white dusting on the ground. Still feels wet out there though.

Guessing much of the water that would normally flood into the Tay during prolonged heavy rainfall is locked up as snow on the hills, where as smaller burns lower down in the rain zone are bursting?

Ach you're one of us now. Fife consumes all around it I've lost count of how many travel bloggers write-up about Loch Leven 'in Fife'

Ugh, that's bound to be cursed now. You just know it'll end up being the other way around completely with the East Neuk digging out till Friday

Incidentally, the local farmer chat is that in 40yrs they've not seen so much water rushing down the hill or in the flooded burn.

Agonisingly slow descent to 2.3C this afternoon but....as you can see slap bang in the middle of the pic, WE'VE GOT OUR TINY PINK SQUARE BACK!!

Our temperatures are pretty stable up here but ice days are almost as rare as they are on the coast! Often spend a whole day sat at 0.1C. Sleeting here now.....

High of 3.9C overnight but down to 2.7C and steadily falling. 40mm since the snow turned wet yesterday morning but add that to whatever fell Monday to Wednesday as snow and hasn't registered. I haven't been off the hill for days but I dread to think what the local flooding is like. Big loss of snow from adjacent fields but miraculously we still have seemingly unblemished snow carpet in the garden!

If it overtops, you could always try the famous snowblower on it

Gawd!

Up to 3.7C now, with an inch of rain and a foot of snowmelt cascading off the hill. I can't bear it, SUCH A WASTE!!! Easily our worst rain since the August storms up here.

Really appreciate all the model updates on here from all you learn-ed folk. Always such interesting reading 2C here and just about managing to stay on the snowy side of sleet when the heavy stuff comes through. Not sure how long it'll stay that way though. Tonight looks wet!

Up to 2.1C here now with lots of drip drip drip.

It's snowing up here this morning. Hard to tell how much we've got on the ground but it seems to be around 18cm (7"). It's warmed up overnight though, now 1.5C, so it's all compacted down a bit since yesterday and is too wet to drift. I walked over to Craigmead last night and there was a level foot of lying snow in the lee of the higher ground.
