Just to let you all know, snow started falling in Greenlaw at about 6:10pm got very very heavy at about 6:30pm and went away about 8:30pm.

Roughly 10cm of snow fell....

At least 3 more inches here and with heavy....rain, or so I thought, until a closer lampost inspection revealed it to be very fine snow!!This beats the snowfall last year by a mile, a really incredible covering.

LS

edit: It does look like the next batch will give more to Fife than the last lot did: hopefully it will still be snow, and won't turn to rain.

Prolonged blizzard just slowing up now in Leith. Drifting in weird shapes all up and down the road everything covered to a serious depth. Probably even worse up town. Main roads covered - no gritters.

Credit to LS, Shuggee and otthers who saw this coming as the day wore on yesterday. The metoffice/Heather the weather ... didn't even get a sniff at it.

Probably Edinburghs worst snow in 15-20 years !

Dream come true when I looked out this morning. Had given up watching the radar yesterday so didnt know if it moved south. What a result. Deep snow in garden, TBC once dressed. I dont ever remember a spell like this. I think there is a band comming up from the south tomorrow(need to check this)

Dont want to rant but how has the MO / Beeb got this so wrong. Yesterday mornings event not forcast and last night, no forcast???

Everyone on this forum knew it was a possibility, we spoke of the NE attack all day. Surely with all there equipment ect, they should be telling us, not us (obsesed snow lovers) telling them .Sorry rant over...............love my new snow!!!

Can anyone confirm, has it turnred milder with rain across Aberdeen??

[Sunny Leith]

I'm sure we'll get a few posts from the regulars up there. Looks like they're at least temporarily sitting in a maritime 3c after the relatively slack flow they've had the last few days.

They can probably take a hit for a few hours in 2-3c without losing too much snow cover ... probably making the current snow a bit wet and claggy just now though, at least at street level.

I wonder if the country will get that cooling effect today same as yesterday once the daylight comes. First time ever I have seen temps drop so severly during the day.
