  1. Yup, as great as this has been it is so frustrating seeing so many showers going North and South!
  2. Yeah you're right - I'm just hoping the MO have it right this time for this afternoon but as it stands areas like Fife are the ones taking a pounding. Great pics from those areas!
  3. I would have agreed wholeheartedly with that about 5 minutes ago but snow getting a bit heavier here now hopefully an indication of things to come but I'm inclined to think the Glasgow area will miss the worst of it.
  4. Yeah, I'm just down the road at the top end of Cambuslang and it's just a slushy dusting for now. Fingers crossed for an improvement later! Great to see how well others are doing but also frustrating to be so close to the proper action and yet just missing out!
  5. I think that sentence refers to the warning in place for parts of England and Wales, not Scotland
  6. I walked the dog about half 5 when there was just a little bit of snow on the grass and cars but by the time I left for work at half 6 there was a blizzard and a few cms of snow already - it's the fastest I've seen it fall in years in the Glasgow area! The roads were treacherous too and no sign any gritters had been out despite the snow and ice warnings
  7. I really hope your wander involved driving about the countryside on your motorbike a la The Snowman
  8. Given the downgrade overnight in the forecasts I didn't expect anything! Been snowing here since around half 6.
  9. I'd be absolutely salivating at the prospect of that!
  10. Almost nothing in the south side of Glasgow - just the tiniest flakes of snow I've ever seen! However, as little as there is here, it always seems to be worse for the Ayrshire contingent! The west almost always does poorly regardless of the setup. We're too far west to benefit from an easterly as shown in Dec 2010, only seem to get deep cold in a northerly without the snow, and last year when we had a straight westerly the showers missed us entirely but hit the likes of Livingston in the east! Time to move house me thinks! Enjoy the snow everyone who has it!
  11. There is also a Met Office weather warning out for snow tomorrow: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=map&map=Warnings&zoom=5&lon=-3.50&lat=55.50&fcTime=1388793600 That seemed to come out of nowhere! Great deal of uncertainty around it though.
  12. I've been on this forum for years - ever since the "Slow Watch" days for those who remember that - but very, very rarely post as I don't have a clue when it comes to reading charts and just like to see what the snow chances are! Since the Scottish thread was created, I've basically just ignored the model thread as this thread is so friendly with extremely informative posters, such as Lornezo, LSS and CMD. I must say however that at times there is an anti-English sentiment running through some of the posts and I completely agree with BMW and Lorenzo. I'm not saying that people mean for it to come across that way but it unfortunately does and there is absolutely no need for it. If the model output thread is a bit English-centric then it doesn't matter a jot as we have this great thread for discussing weather in Scotland and that's all that really matters so please just concentrate on that. Apologies for being so off-topic but this crops up now and again and sometimes spoils an otherwise brilliant forum.
  13. I think you might be right. We have a covering here and the snow had started lying on the roads and pavements at one point but it is just too light now. Needs to get heavier to have any chance of accumulations. Nice to see a bit of snow at least!
