Same. The reverse psychology worked -

Some pretty mild air coming in from the west with that front, 6c when I just drove thro Central Glasgow with some spots of rain. 3c here with the precip inching closer, I'd guess sleet with a chance of snow in heavier bursts. Plenty of gritters out and about tho... -

Yep. Not looking great. On the other hand, no problems with intensity on Sunday night for the rain, it looks torrential! -

Light snow falling here with blue skies. Most of last nights snow has now melted in the strong sunshine. We might scrape another dusting tonight. Still not convinced about tomorrow here, technically we should be in a good spot but the intensity of the front keeps getting downgraded. Who knows though! -

Yep, we've had some snow but not depth to it at all, don't think we've had more than a covering unless I'm forgetting something... We've finally hit a heavier shower here and all surfaces are white. Looks like it's heading south now so unlikely to get much more. -

Meto just extended the showers weather warning to cover all the way thro the central belt to the west /south west! -

Yeah it's a bit marginal here too, we've had a heavier burst of snow with most surfaces turning white but it has mostly melted on pavements and the road Edit:that's more like it, 12 hours of this and we'll make that 40cm.. . -

Just looked out the window and the road is very very slowly turning white, I can see tyre tracks already but I can barely see the snow falling and its barely visible on the ground. Also, I wonder how Arran is doing, there's been moderate to heavy precip showing over Arran for hours! -

Yep, northern areas likely to hold onto slow moving snow but it's not clear what that means, presumably north of the central belt given the charts though. Need to figure out how I can build a tower onto my house to get it to the 200m -

That looks a bit like a snow to rain event for the central belt south, then heavy sleet/rain on Sunday into Monday possibly turning to snow, but very close to a snow event. Hope it's wrong and it's all snow but I' not expecting much, especially with no warnings issued. -

Central belt finally removed from the warning, 40cm forecast on Monday down to 0cm now, oh well it happens rather a lot -

Yep, haven't looked at any charts but met office text forecast is back to outbreaks of snow for strathclyde later this afternoon and overnight but not mentioning anything significant. Weekend forecast is a cracker though... -

Looking forward to the up to 40cm of snow warning for it to disappear on Saturday -

And... the GFS goes slightly further south (so far) ... athough the MOD think its gone north? (maybe further north the next day where I've not seen it update on NW yet) Not much in it either way... think it maybe a case of using the window at the time! Nope definitely further south to my eye! -

Saturday is the new Friday for us... But like others have said, I'm not convinced on the low missing us to the south yet especially when the fax chart has it further north. Still all to play for and although generally lows get moved south as we get closer to events, I've also seen some correct back half way north with very short notice Looking like some more chances over the next week too! -

Warning text has just been updated, snow throughout the day on Friday with 30-40cm still mentioned for the same areas... -

GFS, UKV, fax charts and met office text forecast all take the snow through Scotland so I wouldn't be so sure of that shift south of the border yet (I've not checked the others but appreciate ECM goes South). Met office also starting to mention the chance of more sleet and snow coming in over the weekend too.... -

A surprise heavy ish snow shower has just formed over Glasgow and we now have an unexpected dusting of snow -

Light snow falling here in the sunshine, one of the benefits of the stronger sun is that there are more showers around. -

For the sake of everyone living in the central belt who wants snow please don't take the day off as it'll definitely not snow then Latest GFS brings the front in overnight Thursday into Friday but snow turns to rain/sleet central belt south Thursday morning so we could do with a slight shift back south down here... plenty of time for it to go either way though at this range so I'll not raise my hopes until Thursday morning if it's still showing as we've been here far too many times! -

Sunshine! Oh actually, it's beginning to disappear, but it was nice to be out in it yesterday afternoon and first thing this morning which also came with the first frost of the month (I think). On another note, I just got my badge for being a member here for 20 years - oh dear, the search for snow is still nearly always at day 10+ -
