Snow Watch: Scotland

[Mondy]

Im no expert but it may be due to the fact the precip is so light and the air so dry, its not making it down to the surface.

Things will change within the next 24hrs or so. Don't be fooled by watching/reading various other snow threads.

There is quite a potent system leaving Spain, entering France then moving northwards quickly over the UK. By tomorrow evening/early Tues morning, it'll throw its weather front in our direction. That will mix with the cooler air we have currently and produce snow.

Patience

Ugh typical, narrow miss again hahaha. I was finding it weird that the radar was showing precip and yet the RH is only 62%

Looking at the radar it does look like the showers out in the North Sea are starting to pep up, which can only be a good sign for your location.

Yet again depends if they are going to make it to the ground unlike earlier.

Though I'm not really expecting any snow until late tomorrow in to tuesday.

Anything till then will be a cherry on top.

Showers now beginning to push across Scotland and not decaying that much. Come on, you can make it here snow!

I'm fearing thats whats going to happen here, temps and dew points don't seem low enough for snow at the moment damnit!

I take it back, it's snowing outside.
