Nae nowt nothing, did go to the MT but focus seems on breakdowns rather than having them so no entertainment there.

[Buriedundersnow]

snow falling here its light but the flakes are a good size

[Snowlover2]

Damn, knew I shouldn't have headed back to Fife tonight Mind you, hefty looking shower just to the east heading in, could be interesting, and the NMM/NAE place the greatest snow risk overnight for Fife and Dundee.

I like!!!

[LomondSnowstorm]

Very good shower here now, blizzarding down the wee flakes but now turned to bigger flakes, settling on the road once more and down to 1.6/-0.3C. Convection seems to be more localised now for our area but still rapidly intensifying showers as they move inland, with more in behind.

[Buriedundersnow]

i have a little theory.

if u noticed last night and so far tonight after dark the shower activity seems to pick up and gets further inland and it was same in 2010 as we didnt get any snow showers here in falkirk on an easterly till after dark then.

does anyone think it might have to do with the north sea handing back the energy it has built up through the day from the sun which allows more energy to evaporate into the atmosphere therefore making the showers stronger and allowing them more energy to move further inland with more ppn.

[A Winter's Tale]

The usual 4 flakes falling here.

Correction, starting to increase and settling.

Well that's a start

But the blasted snow shield is well and truly up and running for Dunbartonshire.

[Mesosphere]

Pelting it down here, road completely white after being ploughed by the council earlier

[LomondSnowstorm]

Forth-Clyde streamer will now be calling at, Glasgow...

good that means falkirk should hopefully get a steady stream of showers aswell

[Snowlover2]

Yup heavy snow back on here. What a day!!

Well it is on the Edinburgh-Glasgow line

[sn0wman]

Heavy fine snowflakes 5 minutes ago. Left a dusting even on the roads!

[Buriedundersnow]

Well it is on the Edinburgh-Glasgow line

i'm sure we will catch something here

There is always FI

In terms of breakdown, tentative balance over the next couple of days, given the predicted breakdown scenarios keep getting edged back, will we actually see one, another thing is how much of a breakdown will this be up here in comparison to further down the road, certainly no bbq weather in the post yet!

[BurntFishTrousers]

I wouldn't bet on Falkirk getting anything!!

Positive troughing at +144 has so far materialised as negatively tilted troughing by verification. Until we see positively tilted troughing at +72 with cross model agreement I will remain sceptical of a breakdown. Hell, the front yesterday was progged bring in the breakdown to all areas this time last week only to end up not even making it this far.

Evening all! Snawshield still intact, temp down to -1.

[daboss]

Forth-Clyde streamer will now be calling at, Glasgow...

Does look likely, about time too.

[Blizzardo]

I didnt want to jinx it but its close now.

[Poots]

0c here, snowing lightly again.

[Guest]

I didnt want to jinx it but its close now.

Wind looks wrong to me, it needs to be north of east by a reasonable margin. Currently south of east which may encourage a Forth-Loch Lomond streamer. I hope I'm proved wrong...again :lol:

[jon_d1983]

Aberdeenshire snow shield firmly in place till Monday

[onemanmows]

Snaw, finally the lamp is mightier than the shield - fast falling medium flakes

[GoldenJackel]

Why is there a complete lack of convection from the North Sea up our way?
