  1. Still wet snow falling here which must be due to the depth of snow affecting the temperature. There's been a lot of melt since this morning but there's still 8cm of wet snow lying. Temperature 1.2c and dewpoint is 0.3c.

  2. Showers getting progressively more wintery with earlier rain now a mix of hail, sleet and snow. Radar looks loaded with showers out to the west. Current temperature 4.4c and dewpoint 2.9c.

  3. Heavy sleet at the moment with it occasionally threatening to turn more to snow. The temperature has dropped to 2.6c with the dewpoint 1.8c. I'd imagine the hills are taking a pasting just now as I've had 18.4mm of rain/sleet in the last 24 hours.

  4. Colder than I expected this morning, currently -3.1c and dewpoint -4.5c. I've done quite well for snow cover this winter with this now my 10th consecutive day with pretty much full snow in my garden, albeit its getting a bit patchy at the front. A low dewpoint really seems to be the key to reducing snow melt as the temperature has been up at 3-4c on occasion over the last 10 days while the dewpoint has remained consistently below freezing.

  5. The low is getting closer all the time. It needs to be taken into account that its not just a front passing through but is circulating band of precipitation. Its looking more likely all the time for this could move further inland than first thought.

  6. Very odd. The BBC Scotland forecast suggested (5-10cm ? IIRC) snow running through Glasgow - Lanarkshire - Dumfriesshire/Borders from 9'ish to midnight. Fingers crossed but can't see it myself.

    Sometimes with such a low passing there are back edge showers that will run east to west. That's the only way I imagine that Glasgow will take a hit as it definitely looks like passing to the west, albeit only by about 20 miles.

  7. That little low is still edging slowly South East but my gut feel is the it will just miss the majority of Central Scotland. The next 30 mins should answer the question.
