Just drove the m-8 from livi to bathgate...OMG tomorrow morning is going to be chaos!! You can't see any road markings, 10mph max the whole way, 3 cars slid off onto hard shoulder and a jacknifed artic on the slip road!! Glad I'm back from work.. I cannot believe the snow cover out this way already

No entirely sure I understand all the factors in the Edinburgh snowshield but it definitely exists. We came back down the A9 from Boat of Garten earlier, heavy snow in poor visibility almost all the way until we got close to the north side of the Forth Road bridge. On the Embra side, visibility vastly improved, rain, and even on the higher parts of the bypass, in some places snow was completely absent.
Some kind of recurring geographical, topographical, micro-climatological thing going on there but whatever it is, its bloody effective at turning snaw into naw.
I work at the gyle/hermiston gait and it must be one of the most snow free places in scotland from a westerly attack. It doesnt anger me unlike some on here, but it really is a strange one!!

Some crazy surf dudes will be out in Eastern Ireland
http://surfforecasting.magicseaweed.com/?p=2034 unfortunately the onshore winds will really mess the surf up for any of the big reefs in Scotland or Ireland to be rideable

Not convinced the amber warning is warranted if I'm being honest - certainly not to lower levels.
If anything the set up for tomorrow is worse than it was last weekend - very marginal DP's and upper temps - ground temps don't look to be anything near what YR.no prog - I'd guess if today is anything to go by, to be around 1-2c, which coupled with a -1c dp (for the central belt) doesn't really anything to me, other than sleet then rain.
Why is everybody obsessed with yr.no of late?? They consistantly overstate precipitation and min temps, and have done for a long time.

I dont like using this word because it is over-used on here, but the Edinburgh 'Snowshield' is something else today. Having said that, current conditions here totally tie in with the bbc graphics over the past couple of days. The snow never made it to us on any of there runs!!
-
Failing to really make much impression on the ground here unfortunately. The best we can hope for is some heavier pulses to come along and force temperatures down enough for it to lie, certainly looks like some fairly intense stuff still left out there to the southeast at the moment.
Aye, i'm at Hermiston Gait LS. I fear it isnt going to happen here today. Its going to need to pretty prolonged, heavy precip for it to stick to the soaking roads. I get the feeling that the Pentlands are taking a lot of the energy!

Lessons learnt during Winter 2011/2012
Don't waste time looking at charts. Just use the Met Office. They have been spot on this winter. Really wish i was aware of this in November.

damp squib most places!
It's only a damp squib if you were expecting good things. I have been relying on the met office this winter for my forecasts. They never stated this would be an event for central Scotland. I think they have done ok this winter, possibly due to the lack of easterly flow where their convection forecasts struggle a bit...

so... am i going to need my extra thermals whilst watching us smash up the English at Murrayfield on Saturday, or are we going to be in a weekend pool of mild air?

Unbelievable!!! Bawbag was just a gentle breeze compared to this. Just arrived in the office and was literally struggling to walk across the car park. Genuine fear of debris flying around when i got out. If anything, its getting stronger here (West Edinburgh)

looks like Livingston and Bathgate have done really well out of this.. 6"+ generally with more falling.
