The 6z ensembles are quite frankly, scary.

The agreement for all members to show even colder conditions after a "warmer" day, is astounding.

I think this week is going to be something special.

I never have understood those graphs! Looks like something I did in Primary 1 using crayons, lol

However, the small feature is the kind of system which can dump shed loads of stuff on us in the Central areas. As Ross says it ain't a polar low, but with a northerly influence again soon, this could be fun if it joins the airstream :)

Those things never seem to come off, can I be the first to declare it a non-event?

Thankyou, now if it is a non-event I will be worshipped like a God !

It is on the fax charts this time though so unless a mild sector comes out of nowhere then we should be ok...

And you will be the first to feel my wrath, a plague of locusts to Kilmarnock!

That's quite encouraging though, will look forward to tomorrow with renewed optimism now, things were looking a bit boring for a time:)

What is Aviemore's record low for February? I'm assuming it must be in the low -20s?

Certainly a very cold night in the Highlands to come, Inverness already at -6'C, with Loch Glascarnoch at -5'C, Altnaharra at -7'C and Aviemore at -8'C.

We had a decent and unexpected fall at the start of winter that brought close to 5 inches of snow but other than that, this winter has been very disappointing yet again so far.

-12°C in Aberdeen this morning - coldest February temperature since 1986. Didn't quite make the record of -16°C which was on the 27th December 1995.

15" of snow in the north west of the city anf that will increase to around 20" by next weekend after 3 days of northerly winds.

Just seen the GFS 12z run - the block pushes the Atlantic wind back and a north-easterlt re-establishes itself! Not building my hopes up as the ECM doesn' go for this and I find it more accurate - we will see.

Evening all.

Was looking at those showers poping into existence. See what you mean now about them maybe begining to move ashore.

Did not too bad last night after all. 3 cm fell on last mondays substantial remains - was picture postcard this morning. Not much melt at all today. Was -5 this morning and struggled to get much above zero most of the day. 0.9 C and falling now, DP -0.4 C

The NMM model is very interesting with tomorrows feature, it has it as a south west event only - just passing to the south of Glagsow and giving ayrshire a good dump of snow! A quick 2 hour event but with precipitation rates of up to 8cm per hour i won't complain!
