Heavy snow since 4.25 in the north east but its bringing in a mild sector of 850 air I can imagine it changing to sleety rain soon especially near the coast.

There is quite a succession of fronts on the latest fax charts in the north
i wonder what they may bring
Heavy snow at the moment in the Aberdeen area but it brings in a mild sector of air with it sadly leaving snow for higher inland areas but sleety rain nearer the coast.

I did ask my daughter to show she had snow falling in Aberdeen so here it is. Just about a skiff on the ground.
Certainly less in the city itself than the suburbs

A light dusting of fine snow just now in the city.

It's not so much the wind direction, like yourself I prefer a nne direction, more the fact that the colder air is slow in hitting the mainland, we've actually seen more showers than normal in the city with a North westerly. Fingers crossed the colder air arrives soon.Knowing our luck the colder air will arrive as the shower activity dies off
The true polar air is clearly seen from the Faroe Isles to between Orkney and Shetland

Suns out again in Altens. Staying in Newburgh up the road from you Looking at the temps and flow of showers, if we see any white stuff it will be a surprise!! Never think we do well from a NW flow, need it to veer round to a NNE to get any decent white stuff

The colder air is just south of Shetland heading our way, any showers from mid late afternoon will be mostly of sleet/snow rather than the rain sleet we are seeing presently.

We're supposed to be on lockdown FFoxS!...Maladjusted, tantrum throwing, man child(s)...The lot of 'em! I hate Netweather!!

As one who is slowly learning I like to check the models, decide what I think it means and then check in here to see if my interpretation was correct. Tonight I see this! What would this FI weather be because I can't work it out.
If your after cold you'd certainly want the low to the north of Scotland 500 miles further south,the weather on the day of the chart would most likely be cold rain

I'm down to my last 6 inches, might see out tomorrow but I'd be surprised if there was much left by Wednesday
Having spent 30 years living in Westhill I have always wondered why it does so much better than surrounding areas and those considerably further inland. A combination of a reasonable amount of land at a reasonable altitude and close enough to the coast for the elevation to pep up precipitation?!
I once drove through Westhill in 2010 there was a good 8inches at the main road in the town then took a nosy up the road to the golf club it was easily double the depth no more than a half mile apart the altitude change would be 100m maybe or less

8 minutes ago, metallikat34 said:Question for the group. Is anyone else surprised how little flooding there was considering the rapid melt? I checked Braid Burn and the Water of Leith today and both were certainly high, but not nearly as high as I was expecting. What gives? Perhaps the snow had a low water content? There was a considerable "fluff" factor. But I am a bit shocked that there hasn't been more widespread flooding issues.
Depends where they originate,upland areas still have lots of snow to melt yet so it may take a day or two before they reach peak

Well ladies and gentlemen the Mair Snaw family have found a new home to move to... its not everything i wanted but it is better than what we have... our new destination is Sauchen Aberdeenshire 100m asl.
Will update with details as things go along but hopefully we will be moved and settled before the end of March...
Much better than the Ellon area for snow probably 2 or 3 c colder in cold spells especially with winds off the North sea,frosts for sure too.

@CatchMyDrift just a tad cold in Calgary over next few days. To be fair quite the event over there with the record cold dropping into Texas and possibly over the border into Mexico tomorrow
Over here, the thaw has well and truly set in here snow just about hanging but likely all gone by tomorrow i would think but if the end then great winter here, probably best since 2010?
Just a tad nippy,I suppose no lake effect snow at this time of year as the lakes themselves will be frozen

I keep expecting it to turn to sleet or rain but no sign yet will enjoy it while it lasts.
