That's the sleet on 3.5/3°C. Bucketing down.

I'm remembering that in the Jan 2018 serious snow that hit Ayrshire/Lanarkshire/Borders the Meto warnings were very dynamic with ambers appearing nailing significantly heavier periods of snow within the general showers 12-18 hours before they hit. Was impressive how locally correct these became with 500 Square km pinpoints being nailed-on seemingly like magic.
Keep refreshing that wx warning page this evening!

Dead right. Flooding on a par with rapid snow melt. Here's Upper Tweeddale this morn:
Normally the river's mostly hidden up against the far hill. And what's surprising is the whole lot is flowing! Peebles will be interesting.

Just driven Peebles-Stobo-home. I like speed. I'm that car pushing the traffic along to do the speed limit. Just now I was doing 35mph max. And luckily swerved when that fallen branch in the road reared its limb. Sheets and sheets of rain. Really quite something.
Five days of food and beer purchased. Gonna need it.

Twenty fourth air frost at - 1.5°C this morning. Got down to -5 on the car thermometer driving into work.
Yellow excitement alert for the shuggee cottage Mon-Weds.... Same height as Abington on the M74 here so cautiously looking good.

I have started to polish my measuring stick in anticipation. It sat all last winter unused. Premature?

UK Meto haven't even acknowledged that Storm Brendan occurred - can't be bothered it seems:

Great reading the snow reports from home! Fingers crossed for next week. Weather on the turn here in Tennessee after 2 lovely ‘summer’ days. Forecast to get rather wet and windy!
Smattering of snow down to the bypass at Hillend this morning at 7.30am just as it was coming light.

It's more the convective potential than anything else, as far as I am aware. Somewhere could get 30-40cm of snow off showers alone if that comes off. Just ask @shuggee about Jan 2018. Even I managed 15cm this far east.
Aye, watching this closely. A701 closed for three days back then. Very interesting Mr Catch.
Meanwhile it's bucketing with snow with these hefty showers blowing through right now. Grass and car white.....

It's the temperatures! Overnight tonight is going to be 0-3C countrywide with snow above 150m. She even said 'not cold'.... The UK weather with Carol didn't make the same mistake. All very odd.

Very jealous Sceptical!
Seen a snippet from the Met Office monthly stats for this month...NE and E of Scotland have been drier/sunnier than average! Not bad at all for yourself and many others who live in those parts.
Going back to this Monday’s wind event...this is the wind direction that gives us some big time spray action/decent waves rolling in at the bottom of my street. (Looking forward to it)
Heaven forefend that 80mph gusts would actually mean an amber warning, and therefore trigger the storm being named by the Met Office....

Was surprised to wake up to more snow this morning. Chunky ice welded to the car and a smattering on surfaces. Not a snow day though.
Must record 28/01 as the twenty third air frost at 0.0C. Marv.

2.1/0°C and snow earlier. Then over last three hours temp has dropped slowly, ppn has fluctuated with everything but the kitchen sink and now 0.6/-1°C and it's light sleet. Grass has wet white splodges and garage roof is whiteish. This last burst that's pivoted around and headed NE out of D&G must be last chance saloon. Really couldn't be closer to marginal if it tried. Love the weather here!

Currently 2.0/0°C. Marginal. And that blob over D&G is an hour away from me. Hmmmm.

Nothing. not even a flake. a very slight frost at best.
Snap. Although as it got down to -0.3C around 22:00 last night I am counting my twenty second air frost.

The Met-O text forecast is promising:
However, as shown by @Mr Frost the Euro4 takes the main precip west. The 00z GFS is still spitting out 20cm of snow and fog for me. Who knows what will be right? (my money is on the Euro4)
There are no Met Office weather warnings...

You know me too well. My measuring stick is well buffed and we will be having an extended lunchtime walk to build that snowman....
