Right here is a new thread. Will there be snow tonight for S.Scotland, we will have to wait and see!!

We've already had sleet, the snow won't be far behind. NMM looks pretty tasty for some parts, hopefully we'll get a good covering over night as this would set us up nicely for a cold, crisp, crunchy weekend.

I have to go to East Kilbride tomorrow to get my car fixed, it always snows up there

[howham]

Frosty and clear here at -1.3C

Apart from the other night when snow was forecast and I left the office in EK to horizontal sleet being propelled at me with great intensity on gale force winds! A degree or two lower would've given a genuine blizzard. Seems like reasonable prospects of overnight snow tonight though marginal.....

[edo]

-0.7 here but off to dundee shortly and certainly dont expect any snow there overnight....then again my xmas day/night out tomorrow which normally delivers.....but thats hopecasting as the computer models say no....good luck to all you borderers and central guys...could b a dumping

Looks like we may well be in for a night of radar watching and temperature reading after all. A tasty looking area of precip is heading towards us.

[A Winter's Tale]

Some very low temperatures across the country right now. How low can it go!

Aboyne: -4.5C

Loch Glascarnoch: -4.3C

Aviemore: -3.2C

-5C will be reached, it's a question of whether -6C, -7C, -8C, -9C or -10C get reached.

Och, probably just a shower of rain, not paying attention to it.... :winky:

Think I'm suffering from snow withdrawl symptoms - overdosed the last couple of winters.

[snowy owl]

Could be a good morning for your location snow-wise http://expert-images.weatheronline.co.uk/daten/proficharts/en/nae/2011/12/15/basis18/ukuk/prty/11121612_1518.gif

Looks to shift further east as night turns to morning. A few isolated showers making it through to Western Perthshire give me a bit of hope but really the Forth-Clyde will be the northernmost limit of the front in all likelihood (winks to showers moving up from the south and hope they take the hin that they move north).

And having said that, it might well have worked - the NMM is suggesting the front will make it all the way up to Fife by the early hours. Still not absolutely convinced but who knows, it might be worth setting the alarm early to see if our luck's in for once! -1C here, so I don't foresee a marginality issue (unless that occluded front is in fact a warm front in disguise).

Still too early to rule out a white christmas, probably not blow torch but not extremely cold either.

[snowy owl]

You know LS - i think we may just be in for a wee snow surprise tomorrow a.m. Will be up early just to check!.

I think christmas is looking increasingly ok - average maybe - but probably just as well for those travelling on christmas day - thereafter we are all chilling out - so it can snow later!

[Norrie]

Could someone explain to me what conditions are needed for Snow tonight? Its currently 3C here with a dewpoint of 2C but both are falling?

[lorenzo]

Looking like tomorrow morning may have a winter look about it..

Incoming ...

Having done some Xmas shopping ( on here), this is the latest radar pic..

Speaking of Xmas, this is kind of like an advent calendar of sorts. The big 2 models count down to Xmas Day.. still displaying some slight and subtle differences in modelling of the PV ..looking increasingly settled though.( Still FI...)

[A Winter's Tale]

Anything could happen for Christmas but I'm still going for a white one either from a snowfall from a polar maritime incursion or lying snow from a snowfall a few days earlier. Only time well tell.

Looking to my south, I can see incoming clouds.

[aggy]

rain here no chance of snow beside the sea very boring lol

Dont rule anything out, the temperature is dropping and I wasnt expecting any wintryness till after 12 anyway.
