Looks like something is brewing off the Norwegian coast?

Looks like that band of showers to the far North is coming our way :-)

I have been keeping an eye on that one too. Nothing too organised at the moment although it does look interesting.

Just as a relief to anyone who thinks I've been going on about polar lows for ever and ever, the conditions necessary for polar low formation are going to turn away from favourable as the very cold upper airs move away. By Friday there is no chance of a proper polar low forming as the upper air (500 level) is just far too warm:

In the meantime, however, the cloud off Norway does look very nice, let's just hope it starts circulating a lot more than it is doing already :unknw:

WTF? Dewpoint's just plummeted to -6C, the lowest I've seen. Temp's going up steadily as it does with the warmth of the sea, now 3C. Goodbye snow...

Where is she going? No replacement buses between Aviemore and Inverness because the A9 is closed.

Inverness to Aberdeen line closed as well. Just how bad is it up there?!

Hi guys, what a day.

We got to ullapool just about last night to get the crossing this morning to lewis... got up, another 5 inches in ullapool and calmac canceled the sailing due to snowfall in the minch!!! couldnt believe it, so spent the day travelling back to argyll through blizzards, drifts the whole shouting match!!

just home now having battled through heavy snow on the A82 all the way from glencoe village to just south of Crianlarich.

Not much snow here in Garelochhead though..

sorry you didnt get over

read your post last night and wondered if you were going to lewis as i new ferry was not running about 11 last night

Listening to Moray Firth, it sounds mayhem down with you.

Maybe its not so bad having no snow.

I hope your daughter gets home sooner rather than later.
