Tonight's main event appears to be a snow streamer from Fife right across the central belt to the Clyde. If this continues overnight, any area in this track is likely to be hit hard by snow, due to the lack of mountains for them to cross. As always, don't eat the yellow snow!

LS

edit: 1.6C now with yet more soft hail! I think this will change to snowflakes as temperatures get below 1C.

Thankyou for the update LS, these charts just seduce me into thinking about Dec 2000:

I'm also beginning to wonder if the so called Polar Low in Dec 2000 was actually a shortwave moving South West???

Between Cumbernauld and Falkirk

Thanks Cheggers, I should really have known that or looked it up. I haven't been up that way in years, used to be through to Bo'ness all the time as my grandparents were from there and then Falkirk Hospital as things went downhill with my Gran. Anyway, I know now and won't be so rude in future :nonono:

If there is snow about there now it will be here in 30-40 mins looking at the speed of the showers :good:

I'm glad to see lots of blues on the models for the foreseeable future. I'm also happy to say we'll be having lots more blue clothes for BoyCatch#3!!!

Congrats Daddy & Mummy Catch! :nonono: - PS: if you do need any newborn stuff, give me shout I'm about to pop mine on eBay! Nice blue knitted cardi sitting here on top of the pile :good:

"Whiteout Cumbernauld" sounds like a cheesy but great 1970s rock band :nonono::good:

Tad before my time the 70's :good: That's any snow which melted this morning got a covering again (all roofs inparticulair recovered) This is truly 1 hell of an epic spell of weather.

I only just saw the 70s myself, I was born into a bit of a cold spell in Feb 78. Glad to hear the snowcover is being repaired :good:

We got what I earlier described as a dusting from the last shower, but on closer inspection it is really a splattering of snow. Still some flakes blowing about despite the moon glowing through the thin cloud.

Sadly they have stopped here, but more appears to be on the way from Tayport. I did find Greenhill on a map actually,pretty much exactly between Falkirk and Cumbernauld, though there appears to be a giant law firm of the same namewacko.gif ! Snow shower at Ibrox on Sky Sports News at the moment.

Looks like Friday/Saturday could be good for some shower/prolonged showers of snow in east central belt areas! Take a peek at the fax charts.

Dundee reported thunderhail/sleet/snow this morning. I think you're a bit too far inland for that kind of instability at this time of year, but you never know!
