Yep the Howe of the Mearns are getting pasting this evening. Clova, Tarfside etc will have over 100mm I'd say

The rain has been pretty insignificant so far in Aberdeen city with the wind being more of an issue. There has been some power outages and a few trees down.
The worst of the rain at present seems to be in more inland locations

I suppose there's a chance that the red alert area could be expanded as we get nearer the event?
Stonehaven has a history of flooding and the river South Esk will be in full spate cascading down Glen Clova - would be quite a sight by Friday morning I'd imagine

Regarding tomorrow's weather, it's unusual for an Atlantic low to bring colder air - most lows have a warm core sector - perhaps this is a cold core low?
Anyone know or can explain? 6c is the max temperature for Aberdeen tomorrow which is very low for nearly mid April.

What's the thoughts on tomorrow's snow level? I guess it will lower as the day progresses?
A decent dumping over the higher routes I'd imagine

Can you blow it west just a tad getting greedy
Looks like we're about 10 miles too far south for that streamer - just too much of a westerly element if that Arctic flow now.
Showers also losing intensity by the time they get near Aberdeen and tending to fizzle out.
Yes I'm greedy too!

Not holding out much hope for snow for coastal Eastern Scotland on Friday sleet or rain more likely but big falls inland, though as we know the actual track of the low is yet to be determined. The borders being my guess as the sweet spot.
Yeah saw that earlier - as you say, still low confidence on the position of the low but as soon as I saw that easterly feed the snow chances for the coast melted away! Potential for more wintry weather into the weekend though as the low tracks east

Yeah disappointing shower activity for Eastern Aberdeenshire so far. Moray and West Aberdeenshire doing best for sure with more organised bands of snow - lighter and more isolated further east.

Shower activity low in the past few hours in Aberdeen but will pep up again soon. Snow will now lie on most surfaces

Well snow showers in Aberdeen city centre appear to be exclusively of snow now but I suspect it may be after dark before we see anything lying

Merry Christmas all - looks like a white Xmas for some - currently snowing in Carrbridge and there might even be some flakes near sea level close to midnight.
Met office now indicating sleet and 2c for Aberdeen at midnight although just been for a walk and wintry weather seems way off at present

Those North Sea mild core lows really annoy me as it turns everything a good few degrees milder.
Certainly a chance of a white Christmas with the Northerly setting in again later next week...

Think we, ll see a change to a sleety mix in the city in an hour or so , hopefully not though. Temp 1c dp - 1c better accumulations than I expected, shame all we had last week was washed away last Friday/Saturday
Yeah just noticing snow grains / hail now

Yeah moderate to heavy snow in Aberdeen the past 25 minutes now. Actually starting to get decent accumulations even at sea level.
Think there was about 3" this morning, must getting on for about double that now.
Radar suggests this prolonged shower will be on for another 20 mins yet at least

Thundersnow and a decent hail core with the streamer up in the Northeast corner
Yeah watching that potential thundersnow to the east of Turriff at the moment - it might just miss Aberdeen to the east but it'll be tight.
Still scattered showers falling as snow in Aberdeen city centre and lying on all surfaces no problem

Snowy, orangey clouds to the North and North East of Aberdeen this afternoon but nothing showing up on the radar...

How accurate is the Net Weather radar when it comes to Weather type? The radar showed green colours near Turriff around 930 this morning which denotes sleet but that shower left a covering of snow!

Nice covering of snow this morning in Aberdeen city but slowly thawing since light with rain / sleet showers now.

Still rather disappointing so far. Rain / sleet in Aberdeen. Even at the Glens of Foudland near Huntly it's all looking a bit wet rather than white at road level

Still rain showers in Aberdeen city. Only white I can see on webcams at the moment is at Braemar and Cockbridge so above 300m - as is Cushnie seen earlier this evening in this thread

I was trying to remember which iconic snowy winter it was that had northeasterlys, they really are a rare breed I'm relatively confident it was 2009/2010
We're getting signs this could be in a similar style of snowy surprises that appear frequently
Not to be sworn ATM for exact location but this showing late Wed / early Thursday
Summary for this winter mibby
Yes November / December 2010.
The NE'ly meant the snow started to pile into Perthshire - I think Auchterarder got some very deep snow for example

It seems like years since we had a decent northerly in Aberdeen. Greenland highs have been rare of course. Bar the odd easterly, it's been more of a Polar Maritime Westerly bringing colder weather in recent years and that doesn't bring snow to the North East.
Should be an interesting 2 weeks ahead although I'm not confident (yet?) about a decent coverage near seal level on the coast...

Do the hottest recordings generally happen between 3pm and 5pm?
