LomondSnowstorm

an extreme dusting indeed the traffic scotland camera's seem to show lying snow somewhere near tayport but that is ridiculously localised snow

i'm using the nw radar which currently shows a large bank of light snow east of us its currently snowing lightly here and it started about an hour and a half ago hopefully it will give a decent covering by tomorrow as for east lothian it looks like the snow will be less persistant but there should still be some snow about. check outside try meteogroup as they do quite an in depth radar every 15 minutes and do precipitation radar quite far out to sea http://www.meteogroup.co.uk/uk/home/weathe...ed_kingdom.html hah, we have snow now been goin for an hour and a half the beeb obviously doesn't check the netweather radar

looks like the intensity of the showers in the north sea has increased a bit according to the current radar-maybe a little snow tonight here?

we still have an early warning out for tuesday with '20-30cm possible'!!!

are the met office likely to ramp up our warnings at some point in the next 12 hours??

sleety granules looks like there is more where that came from though

when and where are these showers expected to make landfall? oh, too late (i think) i can see snow to the east of here coming down heavily gritters just went past twice i think it might be interesting for tomorow morning as well as the obvious tuesday snow (if it stays cold enough) here

is it likely to snow at about 70m above sea level and about 10 miles inland (bearing in mind that we have a 500m hill south west of us?

looks like snow for us until midnight then dry for a few hours then more snow by 4am tuesday looks best though and if it stays cold enough we could have tonnes by wednesday currently dry but very cloudy looks like showers will keep going this evening

radar showing showers off the coast of fife

if you believe the gfs then we're looking at quite a bit of snow sunday into monday (here at least) and monday night into tuesday looks quite promising also. why is the met office still insisting on not putting any kind of warning out for us with these kinds of charts??!!

about 6 degrees celsius here with not too disimilar to the weather in suffolk : dry, hazy, with a strong easterly wind and some lenticularis clouds around

fife tends to do better out of easterlies than other parts from experience, and the current runs are looking good for snow sunday, monday and into tuesday i have no confidence in the met office warnings as they are most often wrong eg. the dumping of snow that was meant to hit us in mid january and various events where snow wasn't even forecast but came here's hoping..

hopefully 5-10 cm in fife but more likely 2-5cm. but who knows, if it starts lying early enough and keeps going I may get a day off on monday :lol:
