Typical of this winter - even in a westerly the east appears to be getting more snow!
-
very heavy shower just passed through... everything white and the foundations are now there... everything that falls now will be accumulating
Pah! Left only a bit of slush in Motherwell and Hamilton.
-
Some heavy snow showers in EK this afternoon - sudden squalls with snowflakes swirling around in the wind but not lying...yet.
-
Campsies looking white this morning and some sleet showers in East Kibride - will be interesting to see how the day progresses.
-
Looks like it's overnight Monday into Tuesday that has the best chance of snow, with tomorrow offering mostly cold rain and sleet away from high ground?
-
Lighter now in East Kilbride but the last couple of hours has been much better with a decent covering of snow.
-
Really heavy snow here again, the roads are covered again.
Can anyone tell me what it is like in East Kilbride, I am suppose to go to work there in about 2 hours time.
It's started to lie on the roads a bit in EK in the last half hour or so, as it has been (and still is) pretty heavy and I'm guessing the temperature has dropped a bit, but I wouldn't have thought that there would be any great problems. It fell for a long time without lying at all.
It's frustrating watching heavy snow failing to lie!
-
Heavy snow now and settling. Some heavy looking pulses round Greenock and East Kilbride - hopes its settling well for you guys in the West!
Heavy again in EK at the moment but, as far as I can tell it's not accumulating on any surfaces that don't already have snow on them.
-
Has got heavier in the last few minutes but not much of it sticking. A nice wintry scene out the window though with the falling snow and the thin covering from earlier in the week (East Kilbride that is, not Motherwell).
-
Snowing at a steady rate in East Kilbride now, but looks too wet to lie.
-
Just checking some of the trafficscotland cameras after Carol on BBC Breakfast was on about snowgates being closed at Tyndrum. Doesn't look very bad, but something more interesting - always wondered where those snowmen on the TV advert lived -
The snow gates on the A82 are a bit higher up on the hill above Tyndrum to the north. I suspect the closure would've been more to do with drifting on exposed stretches to the north across Rannoch Moor, rather than the snow in Tyndrum itself.
Not much to write home about in the urban parts of Lanarkshire so far, a smattering of patchy snow cover, increasing with altitude. On the lowest ground, sleet only, which seems to be increasingly the forecast as the day progresses.
-
1.5 metre drift at Glenshee Ski Centre yesterday. Not too difficult to see why the A93 is closed!
-
Anyone agree with the breakdown snow prediction for Friday:
Would be nice to see, even if it is followed by rain, but I've seen those pinks over me so many times in the last week or two and seen so little...
Anyway, it's only Tuesday. It will change.
-
Got a slow thaw of snow at the moment. Never seen it snow for so long and deliver so little but a big re-charge at the ski areas which is what it's really all about for me.
Yes, looking good on the webcams at the moment. Good to see some snowy scenes around the country generally.
About 2cm in East Kilbride, which is the biggest accumulation so far in this spell! Still no more than a smattering in Motherwell.
-
Snow a bit heavier now in East Kilbride after light on-and-off snow for much of the morning, but there is still only thin partial cover on the ground.
-
Light snow in East Kilbride with a slight covering in places. Only a tiny smattering in Motherwell so far.
-
Decent amount of snow in the hills above Tyndrum today, so at least somewhere in the west has snow! The second photo is in a remnant of the ancient Caledonian pine forest - a beautiful place. Light snow showers much of the day and on the drive down by Loch Lomond
Hopeful but not confident of seeing snow in lowland Lanarkshire tomorrow. Looks like a nowcasting job but can easily see us missing out again!

Norn Iron and Wales in the lead - Scotland has some catching up to do.
20cm fresh at Glenshee Ski Centre, according to the operators. Will be much deeper where drifted.
0cm here. A tiny dusting on the roads first thing, but it has melted.
-
I could be in luck. It looks like there is snow coming from south aswell as the east.
I'm hoping it gets to me as it spins round from the south - maybe by 1am according to Meteoradar. I'm not holding my breath as the snowshield here appears utterly impregnable.
-
Hate to admit this but Games a Bogey for anywhere west of Edinburgh now.
Toys are definately oot!
What makes you say that? Met Office updated forecast on website this afternoon still reckons some showers might make the Glasgow area later this evening - not expecting much, and there might quite possibly be nothing, but seems to early to write it off.
-
Snow gates closed on the A93 at Braemar. It doesn't look like much here but the road goes up to over 600m asl at the ski centre and it looks like they are getting some heavy snow there.
-
!! The Cairngorms. Shoe in for 6-8 inches at least, probably near constantly, getting barraged from the north and the south. Shame so few live there.
Plenty of walkers, climbers, ski-ers and summer snow-patch observers would welcome Cairngorms snow (even if not necessarily from an ideal wind direction) - don't worry about that!
-
Fronts are usually the best hope for Glasgow and the west as well. Oh well, maybe there'll be a surprise! I suppose I should be pleased because it would be easier to drive up north on Sunday if there's no snow but the childish wish to see snow has taken over!
-
No warnings for Glasgow now, looks like NI will do well.
I'm rapidly heading for a TOORP moment - what does it take to get some bloody snow to this area?!

Writing things off a bit early are you not?
