Just had to post an update. Looking down over the Firth from here and to the north is on of the stormiest winter skies I have seen for years, almost black clouds with patches of lighter rag cloud in front tinged with purple from the rising sun, with what seems huge snowfall potential heading towards us. Snowcover on the Black Isle is right to sea level again a fairly rare occurence in recent years.

Can you take a picture?

Well, what a surprise!!! Heavy snow falling outside here!! I've never seen snow potential like this before, really incredible day for weather watchers across Scotland. Even Brechin should see some!!

A good covering here overnight - must be around 4 inches on the ground.

I woke up a couple of times during the night, and each time it was snowing, not too heavy so I guess it was pretty much on all night.

Just looked at the radar and another batch about to hit us I think.

- Need to head out and clear paths though

Great news, how do see the rest of the day developing? Beeb 24 are saying heavy snow for central and soutern areas tonight. Thats a monster curl north of us!

Any worries about slightly increased warmth in the centre of it?

Been snowing in Irvine on and off since 6ish....giving a covering of an inch. Looking out due North from my study its very grey and dark and i am unable to make out the hills near Dalry...i would suggest that snow is likely on and off for most of the day.

Heavy snow showers almost anywhere, persistant in the west of Scotland, to give large accumulations. This evening, more persistant snow will be present across most of Scotland, bringing heavy snow almost anywhere, though the risk appears to shift to central and eastern areas. In terms of the warmth, I think it is certainly possible that areas west of Glasgow will see sleet at times rather than snow, but even then, the surface conditions are so cold that a change in the upper air temperatures is not all that significant, especially as dew points are progged to be around 0C even in southwest Scotland. It's perhaps something to watch for those in Greenock, Killie, Ayr etc. but my gut feeling is that it will be snow all the way.

I cant wait!!!drinks.gifdrinks.gif Is the persistant snow due to fronts wrapped around the "beast" or bands of showers gathering together. I have watched the weather for years now, perhaps not to this extent with charts ect, but a low like this from the North must be extremely rare. Before I found this sight, I tjought that I was the only one obsesed with snow fall

yahoo.gifyahoo.gifyahoo.gif Light snow blowing through the west side of Dundee. The left overs from that Large shower that made it over the mountains.

snow just turned heavier here - having hills to your southwest usually means we end up with very light snow, but it's fairly coming on now!! Very windy too, and this is just the beginning!!

Morning all... maybe 12cm level cover here. Not heard any vehicles moving at all so far so might not be going far; I doubt the gritters will be doing the side roads for a while.

crikey, what's that appearing from the north-west?!? :crazy::crazy::clap::cold::clap::cold::yahoo::shok: :w00t: :w00t:
