No bad at all this morning. Temp -4.0 but feels colder. Looks like it'll be a grand day to be chopping firewood.

Driving 40 miles across the Borders today there was a noticable difference in the snowfall compared to yesterday. Much longer and heavier showers today. Greenlaw gettin a good pasteing as I passed . Saying that yesterday was magical, intermitent sun and short heavy snow showers, never dropped below 0C. Had to get the Husky and the auld maul oot and set aboot some logs before they got buried. Fab day. <Nae sled pulling dogs or wives were involved in this endeavour>

Nothing? LOL.

Dropping to -1C here, finally snowing with a wee bit of conviction. Empty fridge, now drinking grapefruit infused beer. Called Elvis Juice. Weirdly no bad at all. No sure if my judgements sound though. Anyway stock up fellow members don't rely on yer daughters citrus beers to see you through the winter.

Check out the Scottish regionals. Banter aside the whole community are happy for those that see snow, including some that see little if any. They joke about it, not whine about it. I've had three days of constant rain further north they have blizzards. Good on them.

No fer long. Pasted, pummeled, pelted, blanketed, caked, heaped are some of the words I expect to hear from members of the Berwickshire snow lottery next week. Fingers crossed.

Perfect then to buy some P's and V's (peas in vinegar) on Bath street just below the George cinema to warm you up. Well in the 70's you could anyway! Snowing all day but only lying 100m up the hill. Bit frustrating but I can wait until the weekend...<rubs trouser legs>

Paul lovely post. For those that don't understand, that's what seasonal weather is about for coldies. Snow reminds us of great memories usually of childhood but for me 1991 was as an adult walking through snowfields at night to some lights, only to find a snowplough stuck. The driver asking me if it was clearer further on. They reversed. We got dug out 5 days later. OOps chart thread. After the 18Z it's looking like things are firming up for a good long cold spell.....!!!

Please, please clear SE smartly little low. Not that it changes much of mine or 4/5th of the UK landmasses impending weather but so this thread can become readable again.

Is that Svalbard just north of the map you posted.

If netweather radar is correct all precipitation on mainland UK is now sleet or snow.

Like me, with a hangover.

Point taken. Hope you get a pasteing soon too. Hope we all do and we all might before this winters over. Amazing synoptics this year. Just ordered my first weather station because of it. I've enjoyed watching this winter pan out so much. Not yet for severe cold perhaps, but it's a strange winter so far just like the snow for the NW tonight, so I'm ordering salt. Is there a full weather nerd badge available to order? cap?

jaffa cakesing on the fire because I got no fire? I came in to congratuate you lot on your unexpected snow. Had some of that too. Fab ain't it!. May it long continue and as far afield as possible....even Lincolnshire.

For those of you missing out, it's been snowing pretty much here all afternoon, it's still white outside but as the radar verifies, although I live right in the heart of the current Borders sweetspot, it's still too marginal here to accumulate. 0.6C, 145m asl, atm -still 2-3cm wet snow. Im willing to try stuff: sacrifice a box of Scottish Bluebells to the snow gods? or buy a 55m set of aluminium step ladders ? whatever is cheaper. Frustrating this.... but it's miles better than last 'winter' already - I need to remember this. I'm still optimistic we'll all get a pasteing before this winters over..

Let's shun them for their bad altitude.

Stupidly looked at the Met office forecast for my location and it has continuous snow symbols from now until 1.00pm tomorrow. It just stopped snowing.

East Neuk/Morocco! Date choring for the local laddies in summer?. Looks better here out the window than being outside. 1.4C now and wet snow. Been snowing a lot last night but barely replenishing itself. Good to see so many getting snow and those that missed out hopefully get a chance soon. Looks good up the hill mind. A wee wander later. Hopefully looking forward to more tonight/Thurs then a dip in surface temps to keep it about. No bad all in all.

No as bad as going to bed, then waking up at 3AM like a wee bairn at christmas....

Driving home from work heading west, watching the rain in Duns turn to sleet at Earlston to snow after Gala was brilliant. I believe for every raindrop that turns to sleet that turns to snow an angel gets their wings. Must be hunners of the wee buggers flying about tonight. Oh and I've got a new used measuring stick.

Sorry to hear that for you. Hasn't been in lowland, I repeat - lowland Scotland. Not up a 'northern hill' either. Quite memorable number of frost days, working outside chopping wood, stunning days to remember. 14 hrs of constant snow, still snow in the garden today and a day with a -11C frost. Not a normal winter here at all. I still don't think myself or anyone from Scotland will be posting in summer the similar lines I hear here from Southern English members in winter. Something like - apart from the 'usual places' like the south east of England it's been dull, dreich and drab, rainy summer, one for the bin. I do hope you get some snow I really do but just because it's s**** for you doesn't mean it isn't already a notable winter for others in the UK, synoptics and weather wise.

Thanks for the positive outlook ahead but actually my 'no comment' was from incredulity from someone posting a 13 day mean to be taken in anyway seriously.

'gefs mean at d13 ' no comment.

0.3C still snowing. I expect that will change to yuck soon.

Surprised to see little if any snow had melted this morning. Looks like some have been lucky this way, others not. Hopefully better lying snow ahead. It stayed around 0C and -1C here during the day so the snow lying got nice and crunchy underfoot. Thought I'd better haul ma fat erse up the nearby hills late afternoon before the snow goes. About 250m asl and snow still lying, looking down to the Tweed. Better up here though. Into Narnia........well kindae! Normal UK weather some in the madhouse tell me. -11C frost, 12 hours constant snowing, loads of frost days so far...aye right you are. The entire Scottish population live up on Ben Nevis apparently! I'll shut up. It was a fab anyway.
