Getting absolutely dumped on now. It would appear my attempts to clear the drive are about to prove fruitless.

Roughly 3 inches here. Just cleared the drive and the car. The snow was heavy until about 9am but we are now having light snow that is not sticking to the cleared paths. As somebody alluded to before I wonder if this is going to be a non event.
Two eldest off to school on the bus (disgusted) and the youngest at primary school (disgusted).

Very heavy snow here. On and off since 10pm last night but tipping it down now.

A few wee flurries last night here in Braco. Bitterly cold this morning. Hopefully the U16's Stirling RFC will be on at Bridgehaugh this afternoon. Would hate to miss my rugby.

Very very heavy snow here at the minute. Coming down thick and fast. Looks like it may be on for some time.

Just started snowing here again in Braco. Nice covering from the snow last night.

My Dad just rang from Glasgow and asked if it was snowing here in Braco "No I said" and then I looked out the back door. Bleeding hell, where did that all come from ?
I didn't think it was going to be that heavy but then again I ain't complaining.

Beautiful morning here in South Perthshire. Blue Skies and lovely winter sunshine if a tad cold.
-
A friend of mine from Devon has just informed me that her daughters school has been closed tomorrow due to the possibility of the serious weather. My children are a little miffed that they will be attending school as usual.
I have to admit that after reading the MT (I don't know enough to post) I was getting a little confused as to whether it was coming this far north but it would appear not.
I still read the MT in the hope that some of the knowledge imparted there may rub off a little.

Nothing at all here in the borders of Perthshire/Stirlingshire. Just had a long walk with the dog (Wallace) with blue sky and lovely winter sunshine. Still hoping for a wee bit of snow to get the kids out sledging but I think that hope may prove fruitless.

snowed heavily here with large flakes about 20 minutes ago. Now back to a wee bit of sleet. ,The snow that fell overnight is melting quite rapidly now.

Snowing here in Braco (7 miles north of Dunblane). Very light but with the snow overnight we have just enough to cover the grass and the road in front of the house.

Heavy snow here last night with light flurries this morning. Remnants of the snow still on the grass and pavements.
With me limited knowledge of the models it looks as though we could be in for some serious weather on Friday and Saturday. The pressure appears particularly low yet the Met Office doesn't appear to be making a big deal of it. I assume I am reading it wrong?

Don't post much as I have little knowledge of the models but continue to lurk in the vain hope that I may learn something.
May I just take this opportunity to wish all those across this forum a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Snowed here for a few hours this morning. Still white outside with the dreaded ice lurking underneath. Wind would appear to be picking up a wee touch as are the temperatures. Just waiting for the rain !

Dusting here in Braco (Just north of Dunblane). Still snowing at an alarmingly slow rate. The road outside the house still has about an inch of compacted ice that has been there for the last last two weeks.
What I haven't seen before on the bowling green in the village is the amount of ice. The last short thaw melted the snow but due to the ground being saturated it had nowhere to go and sat on the top, it then froze and has turned the bowling green into a pretty impressive curling rink. This didn't even happen in the bad winter of 2010. The forecast of "mild" weather may even struggle to shift the ice before our next bout of cold weather.

I wonder if he's watching the sattellite and misinterpreting the movement that way - either way he'll be glad he's an amateur if (when) he's wrong!
Samwhat info did he post Maitland? Any chance you can paste it in here -
This was what he posted about 45 minutes ago.
"HURRICANE SANDY -
Windy says latest just in from the US . . . . . . And take a look at the fukers path, he's heading back out to sea . . . . . . . watch this space for regular updates !!
That is all !!"
I blocked him months ago as some of his postings leave me shaking my head. He is known as Windy Wilson and has thousands of followers on Facebook.

One of our local amateur weather men has just reported on Facebook that Sandy is now heading back out to sea. I find this implausible or is he correct? He posted this wee bit of information in the last few minutes.

Still no rain here in Perthshire but the winds have been pretty impressive. I live on the edge of some woods and much to my amazement there has been no damage at all. I suspect it has been gusting in excess of 70mph yet there are no branches in the garden and no trees down.
I believe that we are still looking at gusts in excess of 70mph for the next couple of hours and they are still forecasting heavy rain.
It will be interesting to see the official figures for this area once things calm down. Roads are all passable with nobody in the village reporting any problems at all.
-
Wind now beginning to ramp up here and off to the North East things are becoming very dark indeed. Expect heavy rain to start shortly with the winds picking up further.
-
Still a wee bit of wind here and it has just started to drizzle but nothing out of the ordinary for this part of the world.
-
Winds now beginning to pick up here in Perthshire but yet to see any rain of note. I think we are looking at the wee hours of the morning for the heavy rain and winds (Gusts in excess of 60mph).
Tayside Police have just issued a severe weather warning for this area.
-
Still dry here in Perthshire with very little wind to speak about. Wind does appear to be picking up very slightly but at the moment it is just another normal September day.
My understanding is that this system will make her way over Perthshire later this evening.

Lovely here in Perthshire. Blue skies all day and not a breath of wind. Looking out the window now as the sun goes down and hardly a cloud in the sky, what's the fuss about ;-)

Still snowing here quite heavily. Looks like I may have to get out again and get the drive cleared. Schools are still in although my eldest daughters tells me that Crieff is suffering from heavy snow but maybe she is just looking for the afternoon off.
Interesting to see if this weather is to deteriorate later on this afternoon as I am led to believe that the snow is a little behind schedule.
