Hi All As an NW lurker * for the past two years I thought I was getting the hang of interpreting the basics (the absolute basics) ; and given my location (Hamilton : 10 miles SSE of Glasgow) , I confess the last few days have developed a CHING ramp (mentally speaking) I was planning on sledging off come Thurs-Fri !!! But , whilst very pleased for those , more previously snow challenged areas, that are about to enjoy a good dumping, I find my own neck of the woods may remain dry !?! Am I interpreting the situation correctly ie is Thurs into Friday starting to look less inspiring for SW Scotland ? Expanding on forecasts for "Scotland" would be really appreciated as it is hard to relate my understanding (absolute basic understanding) of the models for my location versus some of the expert forecasts that are being made on a by area basis Cheers Ching * Thanks to all PS : First post so refrained from using any emoticons ........ but so tempting PPS : How do I "unramp" two small kids ? They will never forgive me :-)
