The heavier rain has just started here. Temp fallen from 7.4-5.3°C in an hour there. Dew point 1°C.
Not that I'm excited having seen the photos from Ireland or anything
Going to be interesting to watch this depression take shape and pull the ppn around itself. Various models predicting 6-12cm of snow for me after dark so Freya might become my favourite of the season so far.
Well various models have my location getting 8-16cms from 19h00 tomorrow. I wonder if it'll be enough to squeeze my seasonal snow day count into double figures. I'm almost smelling anticipation...!
Has the UK Meto ever been the first to use the list of named storms? It seems like it's our pals in Ireland or even Portugal that seem to actually want to use the system....
Conversation just now about our Friday delivery of coal and peat. I said I was sure we had ordered kindling as well but I hadn't noticed it...
Went outside and lo and behold it is there - in white polyethylene bags which had been camouflaged by the snow!
Coldest reading in the car at Lamancha/Leadburn -10.5C coming into town. It's even -6C in north Edinburgh just now with the freezing fog just descending.
Couple more charts showing it is fair game anywhere across the country. Tues am particularly, looks tasty for the central belt including Glasgow city...
Agreed that the week ahead is easily the most interesting of the winter so far. Looking over Lothian those opportunities for lowland snow all have -7°C uppers, so it's a definite possibility inside the A720 city bypass....
