My prediction for upper tweeddale:
Tues/Weds 15.6cm
Storm 7cm and a period of sleet as she is overhead
Fri-Sun 4.9cm
Although the storm track is correcting south with every run...
Driving into Edinburgh through that lot this morning was treacherous. Gritting teams had no chance with the switch from rain to snow. Thankfully far less traffic with the school holidays.
Less than 1mm this morning for me. The heavy ppn just didn't pass near whilst other parts of the Borders had lots. Weird.
Rainy sleet on now despite my elevation and a temp never higher than 0.5°C today - at least there's still the 11cm from early Boxing Day
As encouragement, we had 18 hours of rain yesterday and then after 22h00 it turned to sleet. Within 45 minutes, snow and then woke up to a winter wonderland.
I appear to be in the sweet spot, or so my phone tells me. 15cms forecast from 3pm Xmas day.
Drumalbin is my nearest xcweather station...
I'll pay attention whilst roasting the goose.
