Minor isolated dump of the white stuff here on the north coast, a touch on the wet side but everything is white except the main road. Temp back down to -1.7 dp-3.4. Clear skies forecast for the rest of the night sadly.
I wish I lived at the other end though as it looks good on the radar for you guys in the south.

Your best chance of snow must be in March when the sea's colder, surely? That's when we get it here, can get good cover of snow for a few days.
Could well be. Earlier we were almost six degrees warmer than the sea level on the east coast of the county.
Darn gilf stream.
How goes it on the Dark Isle
-
We must be the warmest in Britian on the North Coast as it is +2 with a DP of 0.
Temp not even falling when we have clear skies, most ppn falling as rain, just the odd bit of hail and sleet mixed in.
Met office were spot on with the forecast for here. I kept praying they would have it wrong.

She's coming home to Sneckie...I told her that the snow should lessen???
Listening to Moray Firth, it sounds mayhem down with you.
Maybe its not so bad having no snow.
I hope your daughter gets home sooner rather than later.

anyone know what that blob of cloud is to the ne of scotland and where is it going as ii am on lewis and only have dial up its kind of hard to figure it out cheers
Was wondering about that blob too.
We have had an evening of showers. First it looked fantastic as it was big flakes and lying but it only lasted ten nimutes. Since then it has been shower after shower of hail and very fine stuff.
Still it is snow. Just not nearly enough for a day off.
I hope everyone gets lucky.

Thats Scotlands most famous Snow road shut.
A939 Cock Bridge to Tomintoul.

It's taken forever to push south.
I'm not excited anyway, because I know it's going to fall as rain in Aberdeen.
I was out in Westhill this afternoon and there's is loads of snow, particularly up near the golf course.
You and me both, think we need to move inland.
Local radio (Moray Firth) saying lots of roads in the area are affected by Snow.
All we have had here in the far north is rain rain rain all day. However our only road south is now badly affected. No papers tomorrow.

We live in hope. Also, now 2.3/0.5!!
Looking at the radar and temps reported from north, snow could be here by teatime. :lol:
:lol: :lol: I second that commment.
So far we have had heavy rain with the odd bit of sleet mixed in. Its so close but so far.
Lets hope there is still ppn when it does drag that cold air in.
Temp is 1.3 and DP 0

Its about +4 here all the snow has long gone and its raining. :lol:

Polar low seems to have kind of fizzled out a bit if I'm looking in the right place. Some sort of ppn currently haring down through Caithness and Sutherland although we don't seem to have any active posters up there now. (What happened to the woman who stayed up on the north coast - wasn't she a mod for a while a year or 2 ago?) My guess, looking at reported temperatures, is that this lot will be more marginal for low elevations than yesterday's, so we should get snizzle here. 'Warm' sector,
I am in Caithness. Very wet and way too warm. +2.5 just now with a DP of +0.6. Heavy showers passing over which are mainly rain with a touch of hail. However I live 50 meters from the sea at sea level and I have only had two days of snow so far. It has been a different story just a mile or so inland, they have had snow since around the 23rd.
Tugmistress has 3 weather stations operating in the county but they are all on the coast. Scrabster, Dunbeath and Keiss.
I hope you guys get better luck than us.

I would just like to thank everyone on here, as it is by far the best source of finding out what the weather is doing. The thread has occupied me for hours on end this last fortnight so thanks and keep up the good work.
Met office saying it should be 4 °C ENE 18 mph-30 mph, which is a complete joke as it is -5.8 with no wind. I wont complain though as I am loving the cold snap. Enjoy the rest of your winter.
-
More heavy snow here, but it is getting wet and temp now at -0.1 with dew at -0.9. So I am praying it does not get much warmer.
-
Another heavy snow shower here. Temp rose from -3.7 to -0.2 im twenty mins.
-
You never know, I had given up and then out of the blue it came, with not a single forecast predicting it.
-
We had 2-3 inches of the white stuff today in just over 2 hours, the best snow we have seen here for many years.
-3.6 at present with a dew point of -4.7 and the daily low was -6.6 during the night. At last a proper winters day.
-
At last we got a dumping!! After watching nearly the whole country get snow we finally got our share here in the north today. We had not been forecast any and certainly had no warnings but we got 3 hours of it resulting in two to three inches. I even got off work early as the road conditions were very poor. Its great and the most we have had for years.
-
Here on the North Coast we have had a day of consistent rain/sleet. Temp now at 0.4 and due at-0.6 and the wind is a NNE direction around 25mph, but still it rains.
Snow to the North of us in Shetland I see from coasties post and there is snow to the south. Even if it did start to snow the ground is saturated I doubt it would lie. Still one can pray for a miracle.
-
Nothing lying here, but plenty of Hail, sleet and rain showers.
A light dusting on the high ground, but our only exit south looks quite white at present.

Hello there
I have recently been watching the forum with interest, but must admit to not having a clue what the members are on about most of the time. I just read the english that goes with it.
So where does one begin to learn right from the start. I know nothing, but I am really keen to try and build up some knowledge. I live on the North Coast of Scotland so the weather can be exciting at times, although the annual heavy snowfalls I experienced as a child are a rarity now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction because I do not even know what they are talking about in the learners area most of the time.
Thankyou.

Should add its windy here too
