The snow sounds weird tonight. Even though we have a good covering already, the falling snow sounds like heavy rain!

I got that message too Lorenzo. Wondering why Falkirk council deems it necessary to close all schools but West Lothian, further east, will wait until morning?

Thanks everyone, I've deleted my BBC app now and installed the Met office app instead . I do feel it's pretty irresponsible of the BBC having an app that is so inaccurate when so many people rely on it. It's probably one of the reasons that the people I've told to be prepared for a week of snowy disruption haven't believed me

Just starting to snow a little here in Bathgate but not expecting it to come to much yet as the sky is overcast but bright.

Hi everyone, a potentially very snowy week ahead for most of us! I'm confused by the seemingly conflicting forecasts however - according to the Met office forecast my area shows almost constant snow between Wednesday and Sunday. But my BBC weather app on my phone shows hardly any snow, a few showers in the morning of Tues and Wed then almost nothing from Thurs to Sunday? Why the huge discrepancy?

Had a very surreal temperature change at around 3pm today driving along the mate. Temp was 5.5C one minute, then suddenly the windows and mirrors all steamed up (rather scary driving along the motorway!) and only a few minutes later the temp was 10.5C. I've never seen such a sudden change in temperature.

-5.0C at 8.30am, now risen to a balmy -3.5C. Not looking like much snow forecast for this area this week - a bit disappointing

Wow it's wild today. The winds really picked up around 1pm when the horizontal rain arrived. Hope everyone stays safe out there.

Traffic chaos on the school run. A few cars getting stuck. Snow falling heavier now but still those tiny flakes. Now to try to get to work.... It's all very pretty though :-)

The band is hitting us now and falling as light snow. Had a further dusting overnight so now have about an inch of cover.

Seems to be very light powdery snow that has fallen.... when the wind picks up it whips it all off the house roofs creating a local blizzard effect!

Snow back on here for last 15 minutes or so, lying too but still not covering grass. Radar looking a lot more promising though . Hope everyone who wants it gets some of the white stuff.

Just had a nice snow shower but it's gone off again Looking at the radar the "organised" band is missing us completely. Would rather have had lots of lovely snow tonight than snowy chaos in the morning trying to get to school and work, but beggars can't be choosers (and I might get neither!)

Woke to a very skimpy layer of "snow" but mainly ice. Heavy snow shower on school run but off again now. Hoping to see some big flakes later in the afternoon/ evening

Me too Ross :-) I had to go into town at 10.30 and the main roads were awful. Cars stuck and sliding everywhere and saw a few bumps. Just walked the dog and everything is dripping, turning slushy. Wonder what the rest of the day will bring! Sky
