Every time a blob passes over there is pretty much 10 minutes of, what seems to be almost daylight. Right now it is pitch black out the back garden (facing due East) next time there is a blob I can see everything. The blob sky is so loaded with the white stuff it's almost illuminating

Snawwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!! Simply lovely 3 or 4 cm here, just back from sledging over the park with little one

River leven burst its banks today, in leven. Its a pretty wide river with banks in the region of 10 to 15 ft in most places. Spoke to my father in law who has lived here all his life and he says he has never seen this b4 ?? crazy precip totals the last 4 or 5 days! Walk the dogs here every day and never seen anything like it. Not just the volume but the current/speed of flow is unreal. Unfortunately I've been baw deep in work so not been here to appreciate it all but the pics speak a thousand words. Bring on the - 10 850 streamers next week tho, snow on the doorstep! Bring it on ?????????

Beck says winter is defo not over! Just getting started VID-20210121-WA0024.mp4

East Lomond just now, fab! Schools out for sledging PE

Home school is cancelled tommorow, we will be participating in a PE day on East lomond sledging

Just drove from Cowdenbeath back to leven. A92 is precarious. Parts of Fife should be under at least a yellow met warning. Driving conditions are touch and go. Back here in Leven its nothing but dreich. Amazing the difference a bit altitude makes in these scenarios

You can see why the sweet spots are more central or higher ground, the tilt on the front from the west and the easterly wind bringing in warmer air from the North Sea, eventually the radar picked up some of the freezing rain people have been seeing.

The missus has just been out to her car so I asked for a detailed weather update - "Nuthins happen oot there, nuthin" So - nuthinto report from Leven then

Is that a decking?

I think you will do well edo. Us Eastern Fifers, well it will be touch and go - can't see much for me @Kirkcaldy Weather or @Hawesy too low down - wet snow - freezing rain ?

When warm, moist air meets cold air in winter = snaw! Altitude de la limite pluie-neige - translates to rain-snow limit altitude.

I will tell you what, not only is this thee best regional for balanced weather opinions and predictions, but from an optical viewpoint it is nothing short of spectacular. Should maybe put this post in the Ramps thread

Magnificent captures mate. Love it.

Had to drive to Glasgow this morning at 7am after a 12 hour nightshift the boy is heading back down south for the next stage off his Navy career. Only stopped at a service station on the M74 but at the back 8 this morning it was - 10 there. Some stunning images on this thread in recent days, keeps me going through some long nightshifts , that you all!

Some live temp maps good luck troops

Watch this video minus 9, very helpful ??

Extreme looking pattern at 3hpa for Monday Zonal mean temperature for today first then the 11th

I think we need to get used to the fact various models will spit out some strange outputs now, particularly 120+ hours out. The SSW will be playing havoc and the Bias corrections required will inevitably cause these variations in predictability. I know this has been covered here and there recently but the Strat really hasn't been mastered by any model yet, yes they are improving over time and increasing the layers and grid resolution but it is still a huge issue. For example here is a snippet from the ECMWF known forecasting issues A link to the full table - Known IFS forecasting issues - Forecast User - ECMWF Confluence Wiki CONFLUENCE.ECMWF.INT Unsure how the GFS // is handling the upcoming stratosphere influence and what improvements they have made in that field but the GFS 18Z tonight certainly looks lost at sea.

day 10 chart from Dec 22nd - i.e today from 12z EC Todays actual 12z EC Not really that close in all honesty. Wouldn't imagine any of the other NWP fair much better at that range with the background synoptics they are dealing with this winter.

Happy new year gang, may 2021 bring you all igloo's

Snow in daylight hours (just) in Leven, pretty much sea level woo hoo

I will see your halo moon's and raise you a rainbow moon not the greatest pic but very cool to see, pity the camera on my phone is rubbish
