Back side covering in case the M8 gets some coverings at the highest spots. That's the only reason I can think of. -

Before midnight got down to -2.6C but since midnight, just -1.0C, so that's my thirty second air frost. At dawn however it was +1.2C which is where it has stayed since. Bootiful again. -

Interesting outputs and worth pointing out that the concensus on the snow down south today is that ECM outperformed the other models and that the UKV was hopeless. -

Shetland isn't covered by ppn radar - always thought that ridiculous in this age.... Meanwhile in the Southern Uplands we had a max of -0.4°C so third ice day of the season. -

Thirty first frost certainly a good 'un at -6.4°C. Everything rock hard and covered in frost if not covered in snow. Heating bills this year aren't pretty. -

Thirtieth air frost down to -3.9°C and a maximum earlier like elsewhere at 0.3°C so not quite an ice day. Back negative now as the sun has gone down behind the hill. Bootiful out there. -
Loving it John. 19 snow days and 21 air frosts since 1 Dec. 13 of those snow days have been in January. Two double figure negative minimums with coldest of -10.6°C.

Usual afternoon dog walk with Finn. Even at 300m, slushy ish under foot with a good 4 inches of wet stuff on top. Slippy but pretty! Max earlier of 2.3C. Drip drip drip. -

Heavy snow now sticking all over, not just to yesterday's remnants. After last night's weird sleet fest in this manor, a welcome friend. -

Was just out to get coal from the bunker and shone the flashlight into the fog. And a sparkling sea of snizzle glinted back - the tiniest of snow flakes but millions of them slowly cascading to the ground. Bootiful. 0.1°C. -

Funny how the UKV was never onboard until the last 24 hours and now leads the ramp, just as GFS changes to a mere few centimetres with none of it heavy. Moderate snow here for an hour earlier - wet baws meant no new cover though. 0.6C. Brrrr. -

A wet intermittent covering here - down to 0.2C overnight. Even at bedtime (22.30) it was still only sleeting but just travel one mile and it's winter wonderland. All a bit weird. -

Still wet sleet here at 0.6°C. Pouring down under the yellow radar. -

Sleet here - the BBQ test always works (it's black metal so can see the ice splatter). If it's snowy in Lanark/Forth it won't be long now... -

I do appear to be under a red blob. My phone says an inch. Early starter with gourmet meal 24 hours later, or greasy kebab and bed? -

GFS, ECM, MeteoGroup and BBC - 20-30cms for shuggee. Met Office, chilly a bit windy. Maybe a shower. Hmmmmm. -

The meto warnings website seems to be malfunctioning at this time. Thanks Storm Christoph - just when there's some wild speculation to engage in. The word epic doesn't get used often enough - agreed!! -

06Z GFS has now shifted to the ECM position, moving the centre back east at T+63/T+66. Lots more pink on XC Weather incoming. (It's going to drive me insane watching this every six hours). -

Morning. Modelling overnight by GFS has moved the path of the centre of the low 50 miles west across the 18z and 00z @03h00 Thurs T+69. Meanwhile, ECM have it 80 miles further east. With such minor changes making the difference between rain/sleet/snow and consistency of ppn throughout the 18 hour period. There's that word again for many - 'marginal'! -
