    Snow Watch: Scotland

    Not sure about this - but I just caught Sky Weather in the canteen at work, and I'm sure I saw them show that the system coming up from the south "meeting" the northerly incursion somewhere in the borders area...would this not give a significant amount of snow as the two meet ?

    Wow - just drove from Stirling to Glasgow...jeez that's cold. Car temp gauge thingy didn't get above -5c the entire journey, at one point on the M80, actually dropped to -8c !

    My deicer froze on the windscreen as well.

    Certainly the coldest morning for a long long time.

    Just need to hope the snow from the north moves down the country during the day - the BBC are reporting it hitting the Central Belt around teatime which should play nicely into the temps/dp's hand :)

    [Edit]

    -7c and -7c dewpoint currently in Glasgow..

    Stirling same temp and -8c dp... :)

    Just to pick up on a point in the closed thread - I was getting a little irked reading the model thread yesterday, esp as it seemed to be very Anglo-centric (is that a word) - no offence, but the severe weather doesn't stop at Carlisle :)

    It's a breath of fresh air having a dedicated Scottish "thread" where we can actually ask "Will it snaw in Glenbogle likesay"....

    :D

    Hi everyone,

    Just heard a weather forcaster from the met office say sorry to us in Scotland on the PM Programme on BBC Radio 4. They then warned us in the central belt that the snow band will return from the north to affect us at the rush hour tommorrow. We wait and see :doh:

    Rush Hour am or pm :D

    Got to say - the gfs snow risk models from yesterday, weren't to far off the mark save for Lewis (!) - looking at them for tomorrow night through to Thursday, gives some serious potential as the front moves down from the north...

    Can't wait - just hope the temps play ball this time !

    Just looking through various media outlets - most are reporting some "major" snow heading into Scotland (eastern) through the course of today...the MetO warning seems a little vague only really applicable to ground above 200m, yet the media are in my opinion, guilty of making this into something it won't be....

    The wind is still blowing in from the east, so, maybe there's a slight chance of seeing a snow shower - but with sodden ground and a dp of 2c in Stirling, I think nowt is coming today....

    Heather the Weather forecast was good at 6.55pm tonight. 9pm onwards for heavy snowfall and well into the morning for us Dexter.

    Unfortunetly, seems the west coast won't receive much, if any. I think the cut off point is Glasgow tbh.

    Hope so - but the temps need to sort themselves out :o

    Snow showers will continue through the evening and will merge into some longer spells of sleet and snow overnight. 5 to 10cm is likely away from the east coast with perhaps 15cm over higher ground, where there will be drifting in the strong northeasterly winds. On low ground the snow will gradually turn to sleet or rain. The public are advised to take extra care and refer to 'Traffic Scotland' for further advice on road conditions.
