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??!!

The GFS has showed this for days on end now...who knows :)

As for the Met Offce..is a forecast really needed from them nowadays considering the awful / bland forecasts we view .

At best they are useless, at worst they are embarrasssing.

I mean it's a sad state when even the forecasters themselves have a fan base - makes you wonder just how much more carp they spew to please their followers.

:)

Anyway, snow soon..I smell it :)

I guarantee you that over the next seven days somewhere on the east coast of Scotland will record the highest snowfall in the uk and sea level. It is and always will have the greatest amount of snowfall due to its locality.

The +120 Fax from the Met supports my above comments.

Any guesses as to where you think this could happen mountain shadow?

I'm crap at reading Fax charts but the wind seems a bit too direct from the North so places south of Stonehaven would be dry? Although I notice some fronts moving down..... as I said, I'm not good with Fax charts!

As the fax charts show the Isobars fairly close together this indicated the flow will be brisk enough to carry the snow over the Grampians and Sidlaws into southern Angus, Perthshire and Fife.

Obviously Buchan, Moray and Aberdeenshire will do better in terms of snowfall amounts.

I know I'm going to get a smack for this, but what do people think the chances are in Edinburgh, only I told my hall mates it might snow and they now call me Wonder Weather Woman and I will get shot if it doesn't.

Should have considered that before.

Awesome thanks for the update.

I did ask for a Neweather Extra subscription for Christmas by the parental units said "No buy it yourself." :crazy: at least I asked for something educational...and the bank doesn't trust me enough with a credit card...I can see why.

Help us, attack of the Taysiders!

All in all it is looking really good for Tuesday if you have a bit of height or are inland in Angus, Fife or Southern Perthshire.

I think there's is a reasonable chance that Met Office weather warnings will be extended to bring in Scotland this morning. Fingers crossed.

I hope but there have not updated it yet :cold:

The Central Belt and near the Glasgow area certainly looked in the firing line from last night's forecast.

Really? I must say I'm surprised although pleasantly so! Not expecting anything really aside from a few possible flurries.

Aye,

The latest BBC forecast at 11.30am has now started to show snow falling over much of the east coast of Scotland, from this afternoon! :rolleyes:

We have already had some snow grains this morning, here in west Fife.

Big Innes.
