[Highland Snow]

I think she was questioning why there was such a difference between what she was reporting compared to yours as im sure her temp and dewpoint were a degree or so less... could be the extra height at allys

Roger Edo I copy.

Yes we are in a cold hollow in the Glen Almond so hold on to accumulated cold the longest around Perth but I have noticed we struggle to reduce our temperature in a non-radiative cold setup.

Not at all happy with this scenario as the incoming precipitation will raise all measures to extreme marginal.

If it is snow it will be horrible wet stuff I fear.

I agree with a post earlier still does not feel like the cold that gives snow outside...still waiting to feel that maic chill in the air......will nip oot to the garage in couple of hours and hopefully get that snow smell in the air

language Mr Brown

I likes it though

Did you see the A9 was shut in both directions between Luncarty and Perth after an accident tonight? Hope everyone was ok.

EDIT - Ahh just looked on traffic scotland and it says between Perth and Dunkeld - by Bankfoot I think?

Batty Boy made a map: "Made a graphic that will give you an idea of whether you’ll see snow Sun & Mon."

Not looking too promising for Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Yeah edodfc your right, did think it might be height but wasn't sure thanks

[LomondSnowstorm]

Are we going to need this LSS?

Mibbes aye, mibbes snaw!

(I'll get my coat )

[snowy owl]

So exciting, (not in the MT for some reason?) but potentially amazing times ahead for the whole week and beyond.....

Traffic cams look tasty

Sean Batty says nearly nae snaw - heck!

agree but everything seems to be breaking up precipitation wise before reaches here and i actually hope it stays that way the skies clear and get proper temp drop before anything reaches us tomorrow.....be nice to get a bit of frost the snow could stick to..... things being upgrading gradually for tomorrow so im 60% hopeful of some snow tomorrow which is probable as i actually had a pass to go out and watch supersunday..... if it snows am contractually obliged to go play with kids in it!!

[LomondSnowstorm]

Temperatures still have a fair way to drop I reckon:

Someone has just lobbed a massive bottle of Omega 3 pills in my face. Don't worry, I only suffered super fish oil injuries

[applemint]

In the absence of the white stuff, would love to see something like this in Scotland, looks like fun:

well it flecking better of been...the sign at friarton said A9 closed at inveralmond so had to detour via pitcairngreen on way home.....

A9 was empty when crossed it but no signs of blue lights so prob was up bankfoot..... normally bad when roads closed fingers crossed though noone badly injured

[colrobs]

Another Drumochter Traffic Cam.

Radar looking impressive.

Not often I see a day of heavy snow progged for Moffat at such short range by the Met Office. Much preferring the NAE/MO interpretation to the GFS.

[LomondSnowstorm]

Hmm, I'm not sure the NAE has got a hold of the setup all that well:

compared to the actual radar showing a growing band of precipitation spreading southwards from the Highlands.

MOGREPS must have a handle on it though, MO have a new warning out for western parts, up to 10cm locally, valid until 12pm tomorrow. Very confusing setup this!

OK it's joke time!

Why can people not get pain-killers in the jungle?

Because the parrots-eat-em-all!

[blitzen]

*sigh*! Would I love to open my door and see this before this 'winter' is over!

Fat chance! it's in Newfoundland, Canada.

Or given the crazy setups recently LSS - maybe it has! Gulp!

It was 2 cars and a quad bike seemingly

[snowy owl]

Hope everyone gets some snow )

Night night.

Will not be able to resist checking in tomorrow for a wee catchup.

[Benvironment]

Been stuck at 0.0C for the past two hours and it stubbornly refuses to drop any further.

[Blizzardo]

Band of light sleet and snow to my north struggling to get over the hills temperature rising a bit 1.9c/0.7c

[Dalkeithsnow]

What's the chances of me getting back down to Midlothian tomorrow morning? Been visiting family in Inverness?
