Just seen first car of winter going backwards down the brae here in Bo'ness. Need to get a webcam setup as it's enjoyable seeing it.

My current thought's on how much snow could fall over the next few days in scotland. Don't shoot me if ya think I've gone too express lol but I really think these totals are possible. From my weather page:
RED WARNING: 4/2/21 18z - 6/2/21 12z.
(Red Area)
Central/Eastern Scotland -
*Imminent danger to life
*Blocked Roads
*Cuts to electricity/essential services
10-20cm all levels
20-40cm 200m+
50-75cm 300m+
Could be some historical amounts of snow, only travel if absolutely essential, have winter supply's stocked in car if doing so.
(Orange area)
Other parts of Central/Eastern scotland. Southern scotland.
2-5cm Coastal fringes
5-15cm All levels
10-18cm 200m+
15-30cm 300m+
Stay tuned, more updates and local analysis as this major event unfolds.
Needs the orange bit to have a clearly marked exclusion zone for snow around grangemouth as shield still working.

Sleet in the air and slush on the ground in boness. Looks like grangemouth heat shield is doing its job as usual. So annoying as looking across the forth you can see that fife is about to get battered.

Grangemouth snow shield in full operation. Boness has rain and lots of it. School playground was like an ice rink with plenty black ice around.

I keep asking if there is a list of model outcomes to see if any actually get it right...
Anyway it was 8c up at beecraigs above lithgy however felt a good 5c lower in wind.

Is there anywhere that tracks the accuracy of the models? Simple offset of the images against actual result would be cool and would let everyone see what model works best.

Wee question folks. If you stay in a town on the south banks of the Forth but elevated up a hill, is that good positioning for a Forth streamer? Bo'ness can be a bit of a hit or a mis when it's coming from the West (big shout out to the Grangemouth snow shield ?) We were absolutely buried in 2010 and I am wondering if that was the cause.
I remember sledging down Carriden Brae in 2010 - It was fun. Need to look out the photos and post on here (or even better take new ones - hopefully). Kids are meant to be heading from the local school (the grange) to the riverside museum in Glasgow tomorrow - what's the chances of that happening?

Newbie here. Been looking at the models thread and from what I can see they almost all look like down south being hit with cold weather - not here?
Is this right or will we get some of the white stuff here? Ideally in the central belt (quite fancy snowboarding down cockleroi again - not done it since 2010)

This in spades. Although tiktok generation seem to have lost agility and ability to use common sense.
Local gala day (lithgy marches) has a saying "safe out, safe in" which fits with how people should look after themselves.
