Scotland Regional Discussion - January 17th 2013>

There has been some snowfall past Newmachar so that could be the snow division in the NE as it often is.

[Sunny Leith]

You have to laugh. Almost any footage from any Moscow news story in mid-winter and its snowing the majority of the times. By comparison to our land-locked Russian comrades, we are surrounded by sea on all sides and yet it seems most of us can hardly squeeze a single flake out the sky in these situations !

[ploughboy]

I've came to the conclusion that they hate mentioning snow or the possibility of it. In fact I think they hate the weather or talking about it.

yes, implied we had missed the bad weather and then showed a map with much of the country getting pasted tomorrow lol

Just home from Dundee and what a Forecast on Reporting Scotland. The East is in for it on Friday evening especially.

I am working in the Boots Late Store in Albert Street, Dundee until 21.00 so could be an interesting drive home.

Also got a phone call this afternoon asking me to cover sickness in Kingussie, in the Cairngorms National Park. Question is will I get home if they close the snow gates?

Can confirm that the South-easterly wind is strengthening off the Tay in Dundee - I was just wearing my shirt and suit and the wind chill was severe walking down from Perth Road to Riverside Drive.

Awww I missed it, was there anything for us?

Judith obviously hates snow. I hate it when they assume no snow is a good thing.

[Sunny Leith]

When I'm President of The First Republic of Scotland, these kind of forecasters will be dealt with by The Kilted Forums Peoples Justice Committee. Oh yes indeedy.

Just had a light snow shower in Westhill as well if that is any consolation.

[Norrance]

Judith must have said thankfully 2/3 times when stating that Scotland is missing out. She then proceeded to show charts with snow!

Wind getting up here and feeling bitter 1C.

A bit disappointed today as I was through in Glasgow and hardly saw any snow South of Perth except on some hills. That aerial photo the other day made it look as if most of the country was covered in snow? I will be through again midweek next week so hope to see a lot more of the white stuff then. [as long as the roads are a/ passable or b/ completely blocked so I don't have to go.]

Icy, sleety blustery yuckiness here currently.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

In the car coming home, Mini miss SS informed me it's going to snow tomorrow. I asked how much and she said '21'. I enquired if that was the depth in cm's, which she confirmed.

I'll trust her forecast over misreporting Scotland.

Airport temp +03, with dewpoint -01. But the long forecast taking in up to teatime tomorrow does point to rain, then rain/snow, then snow showers - we can only wait & see.

It's coming allyw, its coming. Showed snow falling over use lightly tonight (that system coming North from Northumberland?) and then heavy snow tomorrow evening from the East and a good way inland.

Yes it does suggest light snow showers from 1am. If the showers are of snow by tomorrow morning I will feel more hopeful.

[aggy]

I'm so confused lol

[gsteruk]

I'm so confused lol

lol yup me too, confusion abounds! I'm thinking of it as everyone will get snow apart from central. if things change then I'm happy, and things have changed a lot....usually not for the better

[Sunny Leith]

it could just be that we're in the matrix, the forecasts are produced by the matrix, and everyone and everything about netweather is in the matrix. it's no real folks !

[howham]

I reckon snow here tomorrow and in Aberdeen it will be snow by evening at least.

[jon_d1983]

Blue pill or red pill by-tor??

I"d trust yer ma-in-laws forecast over Reporting Scotland [i'm sure she's a bloody fine woman before I get into any trouble for sexist ma-in-law comments]

Notice how quickly the showers in the North Sea are moving yet the front over England is barely moving? Not sure if we'll get much snow here but can live in hope!!

[lorenzo]

Look what I just spotted..

A glitch?

No - it's just the GFS.

[Sunny Leith]

Well that depends on LS of course Catch. If his forecasts dinnae deliver The People's Snaw then he too may find himself breaking big rocks wi a wee hammer in a Lanarkshire gulag. Lets just say the position of Committee Chairperson could be subject to a lot of change. You might be next comrade....
