Well I am buffeted after just walking the dog. When I left I thought it was fine snow outside, but actually it was graupel! Blowing at me from all angles. By the time I got back to the house it had turned to snow. Fascinating the change, but preferred the snow though as I nearly lost my eyesight to the graupel!

(and like the big kid I am I loved being the first to tred in some of the new snow )

snow falling in falkirk only light just now though

Really heavy in boness the now. Hopefully heading your way

[JoeShmoe]

LS, flow is still very much from the SE, is it tomorrow morning it backs fully East and we might get streamers?

[Norrance]

Dry here with the wind gusting. Temp up to a warmest of the day 2.3C. Hard to believe this afternoon in daylight it was below freezing. If this keeps up tomorrows sledging session for the youngest will be off.

Think that I will have an early night and hope for an improvement tomorrow. Good luck for more snow to those that have kept the lower temps.

[Frozen Britain]

Still nothing here in East Ayrshire.

[BurntFishTrousers]

Cheggers - game over. Snawshield works and it's one mean bustard.

Hopefully it doesn't change as much as todays snow did.

Getting buried here. Total depth must be close to 15 cms now.

Getting pished here, must be close to 15 flakes now.

Check the Raintoday radar @ 21:15!!! I rest my case.

Been a shift alright! Promised the kids a snow day tomorrow. Might just get it :-)

I promised sledging in the morning and its already guaranteed ....the girls went to bed so excited for morning....like xmas again.... ife we get a few cms more by morning they will freak.... not much last hr but a wee 30mins shower due i think on radar

[Zenarcher]

Met office have once again failed, utterly, to predict this. No orange warning for the areas that needed it most even though NMM and yr.no hinted at this squall line. Why the hell did they fail to issue warnings for the right areas just a few hours before it kicked off? They have improved in recent years but this was quite a poor show IMO

Yes best to use the Scottish Met Office now and our SWM

Still dry here and wind picking back up again top gusts recently touching 50mph temps are still low though.

Reports from north Northumberland of a level foot...

This is pretty stunning really, more incoming based on the 2100 radar after this eventually clears? More bands incoming further north too! Could be feet by Sunday, feet

I'm moving on Sunday LS! To 220m up in the Lammermuirs...it's going to happen isn't it?!

At 9:15 there is nothing on the rain today radar, so where is my snow coming from?

[doctormog]

Had quietly hoped for sledging here this weekend (but did not mention it just in case). I'm now extremely glad I did not mention it.

Snawshield in tact here still, bah!!! So near, yet so far......radar watching is painful, red wine is helping!

Enjoy it those who have it

[101_North]

Almost 4cm now. Amazing how quickly it's building up!

[GrangemouthBairn]

Wow. Starting to get heavy in grangemouth. Not seeing the BP clearly is always a good sign
