yeah watching this feature to could be a good suprise I always think you get the most snow when it isnt really forecast, ie when its forecast for 15cm plus you get a dusting and when the forecast is for a couple of cm you get a pasting cheers

No thaw whatsoever here temp didnt get above -3 and as i speak a flurry of snow is falling, and if tomorrow tonight comes off possibly looking at 30cm+ here which is bizarre couldnt write the script better absolutely mental. All the best Scott
I actually recall 1995 that was a mega xmas from what I remember I think what we need is a potent north westerly or cold westerly ha march 2006 all over again :)
Just in the from the pub which was at sea level in Glasgow and still heavy snowcover there. IMO this cold spell has been a once in a decade event if not more in my lifetime (im 22) I can only remember one such sustained cold spell (December 2000) where snow has lasted so long and temps been so low for such a period of time.
Also coming upto xmas I cant recall having 15cm+ of snow lying before xmas day which now means I will wake up on xmas day with a white xmas which is very rare. Been an exceptional cold spell and I dont think some folk realise the significance of this cold spell and fair play people like CMD have been incredibly unlucky in terms of snowfall (20 miles east mate and you would have hit the jackpot) but most of us have been very lucky in terms of snowfall
Been a member of this forum for years and this has been the most prominent cold spell its sheer length has been immense I am used to seeing a day of snow then all melted the next day. Today was a magical snow day with not a bit of thaw and that IMO is what seperates this cold spell from most. Neways signing off and I wish everyone a merry xmas and hopefully more snow in the new year all the best

Was just heading to bed there and thought I would have a wee look at the precipitation charts stunning:O if that snow makes its way down here and brings another 5-7cm theres going to be some seriously impressive falls down here Infact I am going for 30cm plus in certain regions with altitude 200m+ and I think I could have 20-25cm easily will take pictures in morning sensational stuff Cheers Scott also -8 here
absolute mega day here in terms of snow not measured depth easily between 15-20cm this has been one cracking cold spell mean will probs wake up to snow on xmas day :)Cheers
Scott
edit also temp is at minus 7.4c already shows you what snowcover does for you also tulloch bridge at -15 already
yeah I had just taken it for granted it was going to be snow but not the case eh:) not to worry as catchmydrift said March is generally the best month for snow here :)Cheers Scott
theres 4 to 5cm up here cathkin area south glasgow, absolutely nothing in glasgow city though i am at around 700 feet above sea level though.Cheers Scott ps chucking it down again could be a good weekend here possibly 20cm+
