Merry Christmas to NW and all posters on this thread!

Hope Santa has been kind to you.:)

Another 5cms maybe(guessing at this time) or so make it an officially white Christmas for us.

It has been a cold December and we will be going into January in the same way with more snow forecast during the coming week.

Enjoy your Turkey folks!:)

We had everything here overnight, Monds. Now though, it's clear and freezing again. And, judging by that satellite pic you posted, tonight could be another cold one...

Merry Christmas, Monds... :clap::clap::clap:

Hey, I reckon this cloud is edging in much faster than forecast? :shok:

Well peeps, judging by the GFS06Z (data-shortages nothwithstanding) we could all be in for a bit of a snowfest over the next two weeks...And, without this week's marginality???

Just how low will the Highlands' 'hotspots' get with uppers at -12C, a foot or more of lying snow and no wind!!! :shok: :lol:

Merry Christmas everyone!

The latest BBC forecast surprised me as they made no mention of any snow/sleet/rain from that band crossing Ireland just now. Its as if they think it will fizzle away after crossing Northern Ireland.

On the 06z GFZ this morning it still looks like some sleet or snow moving into South West Scotland late this evening and then crossing Southern and Central Scotland overnight. It doesnt look too heavy but where it falls as snow could give a few centimetres.

I wonder who will be right?

Can confirm that it was -10 at Tealing couple of nights ago, that is just outside Dundee, on the North side. It was the night of the heavy snow that moved down from Aberdeen and following the snow it rose to around +1 by dawn.

Yeah, the graphics showed it turning into nothing even for here. However, she still mentioned the band of snow moving across Scotland so I think the forecast is just going against the graphics, again!

All of a sudden (like 20 minutes after a dead calm!) the trees are swaying in a katabatic breeze blowing off the Highlands... :)

Frankly dissapointing day here met-wise in Leith after the build-up of the last week.

Still spitting steady light rain on the window. Aiport temp is 1c/DP1c, inevitably its warmer here and we've got a slow but quite steady thaw on. Expect the back gardens and open/grassy areas to hold into it longest .. the deep stuff there is getting very claggy and flattening down. Street wise we're in slush city. Twenty four hours ago the cold felt invincible here but the reality is that we're in marginal situations most of the time...

Not exactly setting us up to hold onto the snow cover here over the next 24-48 hours but other parts of the town had more than us and might yet hold onto just enough to get to the next cold spell. But I'm not optimistic.

Oh well !
