Scotland - Cold & Windy Spell Discussion 3

[howham]

Well, in this part of the northeast we had snowfall on Saturday, Sunday and today (early hours), and we've kept the thin covering too! More to come?

Probably a bit, although you might also be on the wrong side of marginal tonight? I notice the BBC graphics (and/ based on ? theNAE model) are both quite keen on a little blob of snow for NE Scotland tomorrow afternoon.

I suspect you may cling on to colder air, but looks to be close without a bit more altitude perhaps? We'll soon see!

Snow stopped at 6pm, 0.5cm on the ground. Sleet now.

How about snow catch, are you feeling confident with a little bit (or a lot) more later this week. Of course we've got to try and not be blown away during the storm!

I doubt I'll see much more snow, I'm more interested in some proper wind.

[Hairy Celt]

Bizzarely we have the lowest temp so far just now, -3C. Cold surface flow from inland I guess... No wind and thin high cloud not making a very good job of hiding the moon.

Winds really look tear-generatingly, stay indoors and don't put the cat out type of YIKES for Thursday night.

Found this weather forecast on the Traffic Scotland website (for Strathclyde). They are highlighting the Thu/Fri storm.

Very Wet snow it's trying!

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Heavy rain here, following on from rain throughout this afternoon which made the pavements treacherous following last nights low temps.

Will probably get rid of the snow tonight and into early tomorrow if this keeps up.

Seems to be a lot of talk about this low coming in on Thursday. Glasgow to get a bit of this then?

[A Winter's Tale]

Heavy rain and the lying snow in Bearsden is dramatically disapearing and probably has disapeared in Torrance.

[Jambo Fowler]

crap rains started in perth .

[Benvironment]

Snowing here now. Wet and fast-descending.....but definitely white.

[Cheggers]

Very Wet snow it's trying!

Elevation the key me feels. Snaw rapidly going, so only 2 days lying snow, and still hammering it down.

[blitzen]

Heavy rain here at the moment. We didn't loose any of the few cms of snow we had he other day. Still on twigs, branches, fences.

Hope this rain shifts it or else it will be like a skating rink later on!

[Jambo Fowler]

turning to sleeet .....

[Benvironment]

Heavens! Flippin' big flakes. This makes up for the lack of snow we've had thus far when everyone else out west was getting plastered

[Snowlover2]

Looks like sleet but not 100% sure

[Big Innes Madori]

Quite a few of the cameras on Traffic Scotland now showing snowfall. Could be some difficult driving conditions for a time.
