Snow Watch: Scotland

[BlizzardConditions]

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!

Nooooo! Please don't miss us Weegies

8cm per hour certainly sounds impressive!

[saperlo]

Very cold and dry here again. Currently - 4.0

Last night was - 13.2 on my weather station which was the coldest I've seen

Would love to beat that tonight, but not so confident this time..

[Mondy]

Radar currently looking interesting for the east - showers developing on an easterly over the Forth - southeasterly over Angus/Tayside and a northeasterly over southern Borders down into Northumberland.

Just saw this. Wouls explain why light as hell drizzle is falling over me.

This happened last night shuggee with that stalled front. Although it came in from the west, the actual snaw fell from a slight easterly direction, so my hunch was it fed off the Forth. (all witnessed by rigorous lampost watching!)

Weird

It's very light rain here..wasn't expecting that

Hi DXR,

Drove into falling snow earlier as I was leaving the M90 at Kelty (17.35pm)

Light and patchy and still a few spells at the mo.

I think we managed about 1cm here last night

I am in shock, 4 hours ago this feature was much further north. It is now showing as missing glasgow all together. Alot of snow for Ayr ( 10 miles east of too) if the track stays the same. I am speechless.

Dont worry, it is at the moment on a direct hit for here. It will be wrong The fax charts have changed now and show it as a feature covering most of Scotland...

[Mondy]

Love it!

Is currently giving me the super lightest of tiny flakes. Wonder if that heavier patch of the coast might keep going due west - would be bang on target.

Alot of snow for Ayr

Sorry, I just had to quote that as it's not often you see 'a lot of snow' and 'Ayr' in the same sentence

and again....

Alot of snow for Ayr

Yep, -4c in Prestwick at 8pm is notable as well!

A very warm -1.5c here in comparison.

My outdoor thermometer only -0.5 at the moment but it tends to be slow to pick up extremes.

It's probably just because the Prestwick station is at the Airport and is probably sitting in amongst all the snow covered fields. Glasgow AP would probably be around the same but it is cloudy there.

[Cheggers]

Very very fine snow type stuff currently falling at the moment

[Mondy]

Currently -12c Aviemore.

Will it beat last nights -18 ?

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:)

theres nothing in kilmarnock for the locusts to eat!

Well im not gonna get my hopes up for snow, i think its all over now! Especially for this area!

[Zenarcher]

Pictures!

Well don't have any pictures of the snowy hills but got the icy bay its not thick ice but rare for it because the bay is connected to the Atlantic. Pics taken from my window.

When was the last time that happened WM?

[Mondy]

but got the icy bay its not thick ice but rare for it because the bay is connected to the Atlantic.

That say it all. Even the Atlantic can't stop this cold spell

Great shots..guess it must be rare for the bay to freeze..any idea when it last did?

[Zerouali lives]

Snow showers now brewing off the coast to the North East of Aberdeen.

We might be lucky in he next hour or so...
