  1. for you at least!!

    its touch and go for snow here but i'm still quite hopeful of some good snow later on in the night

    good news!!!!!!! the 06Z shows snow here from midnight onwards

    perhaps not heavy till morning but at least that's something!

    the 18Z last night was the poorest run i'd seen but the charts offer some hope for us in fife/lothians/dundee

    :o

    Morning all,

    -7.4C in Perth. At Dalwhinnie at 17.50 it was -6C on the car guage. Kingussie had 8 inches of level snow yesterday at 9.00 with up to 2 foot drifts in the open. Aviemore has close to 12 inches in the village. Wish we could get some action in the lowlands. What days this week is there likelihood of snow for Scotland?

  2. I've been in Dundee 9 years, and I can remember one half decent winter and that was 2000-2001 I think it was?

    I grew up in N. Ireland and the winters of the 80's and early 90's were excellent along with the winter of 95/96.

    I'm sure the winters during the 80's and early 90's were quite memorable in Dundee and Perth. I've read some of Norrance's posts and he said that the winters these days in Dundee are very poor in comparison to the winters of the 80's and early 90's.

    :lol:

    Yes Sawel I too grew up in Ulster and moved over here in May 2001 at the age of 38, partly to get more snow as the East of Scotland used to get a pasting both from Easterlies and as deep depressions moved out into the continent. No more. Belfast has had more snow these last eight winters than we have seen :lol:

    Now work in Kingussie so drive over Drumochter Summit five days a week - dreadful lengths to go to see some snow. :lol:

  3. Anyone else feeling disappointed with this cold spell?

    We had a couple of cm's yesterday and a few on monday that was washed away by the rain on monday night. There were numerous weather warnings for heavy snow and nothing really came of it apart from a couple of slight coverings.

    In the SE of England on monday they got an excellent snow event, many parts of england got a good snow event today, there's another on the way tomorrow and lo' and behold, the latest GFS run shows another possible significant snow event for many parts of England on monday whilst my area and Edinburgh look bone dry from now into the middle of next week.

    At least the Aberdonians had a good fall today and even many parts of Glasgow reported some 3-4 inches of snow on monday and a light fall yesterday.

    This winter to date has been much colder than the last 2 shockingly poor winters but there's always a lack of precipitation it seems for certain parts.

    I wonder if there's any Edinburgh folk feeling quite disappointed at this moment in time like I am!

    Nothing in Perth either. What has happened in the past 10 years?
