Was it not 2001?

Only reason I ask is because Feb 2001 gave me the most insane overnight snowfall I've ever seen. Literally 50cm+ over the course of a day and a bit and extreme drifting over single story bungalows etc. If I remember correctly it was a low pressure system that stalled on the south coast of the UK and left the central belt and Southern parts of Scotland in the firing line for strong easterly winds and relentless snowfall. 

Edit:

27th of February, found the chart... 

 

Aye, you're correct. I couldn't recall exactly. I've never seen anything like it (inc '62).

Ha ha Pete - it's a 50mph chicane over that bridge on Holms Water! Get the JCB out.

Max of -1.1C this afternoon, but not an ice day as at 00:01 it was +0.7C. 

It needed a JCB. You can still see the tine marks from the JCB bucket at various places on the road into Broughton. I've a great video of that day somewhere.

Feb 2002.    One for Shuggee - he'll know where this is.

Well, another cracker. Daytime max of -5.2C, 8.30am minimum of -6.2C. Ice day and road temperatures must be mental - on B Road to BIggar, covered in snow, car saying -15C.

4 cm extra last night. Squeak squeak:

 

(There's a lake there somewhere!)

Aye, I had to sit in the car for 20 mins before I could get into gear to go down to Broughton village store at 5pm. Frozen solid!

Just had a power cut here - always a good sign. Thunder rumbling away merrily and rain now getting going. The radar looks promising.

[Scotland/Alba Weather Discussion 2019]

Aye, just come back from Biggar and settling well there. Just beginning to lie properly here at Rachan, south of Broughton. Shuggee will be pleased.

I've not seen snow this heavy for 7 years....

Aye, Shuggee. Welcome to Tweeddale. You'll be having fun getting down that steep drive of yours.

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/17 onwards]

Hi Shuggee, I'm 2 miles south of Broughton as well - we must be close neighbours (well, as close as rural areas can be). Bitterly cold right enough and snow not melting now,

Pete

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion]

Still snowing here and lying nicely.

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion]

Been snowing heavily here for the past hour. 

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion]

Not really a day for hanging out the washing...

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion]

That's another beefy spell of snow just finished here. 

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion]

Snowing heavily just south of Broughton on A701. We've about 5 inches currently.

In the meantime it's snowing heavily in southern Scotland ...

Very heavy snow here (between Moffat and Broughton on A701). Huge flakes!

[Scotland Weather Discussion - 20th November 2015 and Onwards...]

Snowing heavily here just south of Broughton on the A701 - wasn't expecting that!

[Scotland Regional Weather Discussion 27/01/14]

Very heavy snow in Ballater. Been going for a few hours now so quite few inches lying.

[Scotland Regional Discussion 21st January 2103, 12z onwards]

Hasn't stopped snowing all day here (A701 between Broughton and Moffat). Temp dipping now and road slowly turning white. We've around 5in which does't seem much for the amount of snow coming down. Luckier than some on here I guess...

[Scotland - Cold Spell Discussion]

Yo, Pete - fancy meeting you on here!

Been hanging about Netweather for years, you old dog!

[Scotland - Cold Spell Discussion]

Yes, nestled between Biggar and Peebles. We generally do well for weather!

[Scotland - Cold Spell Discussion]

[Scotland - Cold Spell Discussion]

Just measured snow in back garden here just south of Broughton on A701 and we've got a smidge under 9in of snow lying. Didn't expect that today! Folks at work in Livingston think I'm making it up.......
