I think there could be one or two surprises in terms of max temps on the day itself, still a lot to be ironed out.

Also I've been woken from my summer hibernation 4 months early, still only half way through my metamorphosis! 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Very heavy hail gave way to heavy snow here and we have a good covering. It was really heavy at one point with very large puffy flakes floating around.

Red warning just issued for London and the SE.

Asking for a friend, is it looking good for Aberdeenshire?? Somebody ma have told children that they are off school tomorrow for a snaw ball fight..

Certainly from the latest GFS both Highland and the NE seem to be in the firing line now but the Met Office don't seem quite so keen.

GFS 18hz takes the low even further north now, so unless the Met Office are seeing something we're not (probable) then it's going to be pretty much a Scotland-wide event.

Are these sources normally reliable? 

Well they are from Invergordon so can't promise too much.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

So the GFS 12hz has taken the storm a bit further north, putting Highland and the rest of the north in the firing line for heavy snow now.

Consider my toys now firmly in the pram.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

My sources tell me that it is snowing at sea level in Invergordon.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

I'm wondering if a separate snow (as opposed to snow and wind) warning will be issued by the Met Office for northern Scotland when they get an idea of the storm's north extent? 

There's no way the southern Highlands won't be covered by a warning.

Latest fax charts have the centre a bit further South with the snow risk further South (Northern England prime spot) as a consequence but nowhere near Southern England. Nearest to us at t72.

GFS 18hz takes it further north yet

 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Swear to God that storm better track north and deliver snow here for Friday. This has been the most boring winter immagineable. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

I'm guessing the 63 to 92mph winds currently being recorded at Inverbervie are an error?

I hear they now spell out gamma(n).

That's quite a nasty little storm that's appeared out of nowhere on the GFS 18hz for Sunday night

Gusts of up to 90mph

Bliadhna mhath ur dhuibh uile!

Interesting discussions taking place on the model thread. Running out of time for snow by entering the snowiest two months of the year...what now?

 

Slainte!

I’m really not that sure what we are hoping or looking for anymore. 
 

it’s going to be a bit nippy and some places may get a bit of snow if you live up a big hill. 
 

next

There are many members from Scotland on this forum and the models tentatively support the possibility of sustained cold from Christmas Eve to Hogmanay.

With snow on the horizon, I suppose the time has come for me to emerge from my annual summer hibernation. 

Let's hope for plenty of sneachd to grace us through the upcoming winter period!

If it’s raining, I don’t go outside. You can’t do anything.

*Screams in Scottish* In the words of Billy Connolly: 

I hate all those weathermen, too, who tell you that rain is bad weather. There’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing, so get yourself a sexy raincoat and live a little!

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

-15.2°C last night which is the coldest since 2010.

-12°C currently. 

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

There are some really mad temps around at the moment, quite a few private weather stations recording below -20°C.

What site are you using? -18.8C at 21:00 is the official temperature from what I can see.

Is it maybe from the network of private unofficial Highland Weather stations? There are quite a few of those in places not covered by the Met Office and some of them double up in spots covered by them like Kinbrace. 

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

-12°C here

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

-7°C here already.
