Scotland Regional Discussion - Sunday 20th >>

[Ravelin]

Well here at least the temp is going in the right direction, from a high of 2.5/-2.3°C at 07:00 down to 1.5/-2.7°C at 12:00 (Dyce Intl Airport readings).

[Maitland]

Still snowing here quite heavily. Looks like I may have to get out again and get the drive cleared. Schools are still in although my eldest daughters tells me that Crieff is suffering from heavy snow but maybe she is just looking for the afternoon off.

Interesting to see if this weather is to deteriorate later on this afternoon as I am led to believe that the snow is a little behind schedule.

Snow a bit heavier now in East Kilbride after light on-and-off snow for much of the morning, but there is still only thin partial cover on the ground.

[Allyw12]

Awww so close, if that shower had held on just a bit more it would of settled

My concerns yesterday about grangemouth look to have been proven correct. Been a mixture of light rain and sleet all morning.

[Big Innes Madori]

Had tae dig oot this morning took aboot 25 mins wi the big snaw shovel

Probably 4" O' snaw cover at that time!

Family keeping me posted with reports that it has been Blizzard like conditions most of the morning.

Cross the Clackmananshire Bridge and Nae Snaw a' the way tae work in West Lothian.

Occasional snaw flakes falling here, but black wet roads & pavements etc.

well like everyone else, heavy snow in cumbernauld for quite some time, but not a flake of it is settling. does it look like this will be the way of things? heartbreaking to see all that snow go to waste!

After a very dull dry mid morning with cloud getting thicker and therefore darker a small flurry has started again. Sky looks now as though it is full of snow to the east but we may only get flurries if the hills take it all. Currently 0.5c with a fresh east wind. If the wind stays in the east we may see snow come along the coast to us later. It really feels like a day before a good snowfall here. In fact the flurry is coming on real easy and increasing in intensity.

legend.............as i said last night I never hold anyone to guesses when its the weather...we all know how difficult it is but love people to have a go....its probably what i hate most about the MT when its all i told you so

Is certainly an impressive looking SAT

[over_the_rainbow]

It's snowing here - best attempt I've seen so far today. It is actually lightly settling on my very wet car. Not on any cleared paths though but really trying. Come on snaw - we believe in you!!

[LomondSnowstorm]

Heavier for a bit here, and it's been threatening to settle at points but no luck yet. Ground temperatures must be very close to freezing again though so as sunset approaches and air temperatures drop that bit more it could get very interesting.

[lorenzo]

Wind picking up here and the first signs of something Blizzard-esque.. Wet snow starting to adhere to stuff and build up slightly.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Nae snaw or drifting here at all. Nothing tae see. Move along now please.

Here, CMD, How's aboot we start an eastern Borders regional thread...

Hold on, f3ckin hell, getting faster and deeper. Is that possible? Oops, sorry....

[101_North]

Phoned home and it's gone wet in SW Edinburgh. Any snow that was settling has now gone from the roads.

[Richard Taylor]

EDIT: Saw a couple of flakes of snizzle just now.

Same here LS, threatens to settle when heavier but those bursts only last minutes then ts back to wet snizzle

[gsteruk]

is there a danger this band will pass before the temps drop and it settles??

[jon_d1983]

EDIT: Saw a couple of flakes of snizzle just now.

I came in off the nightshift at 7am this morning. It was snowing light-moderate with strong winds and a covering of about half a centimetre - good wee base to build on I thought. Went to sleep confidently at half 7 and woke up at 1pm. Lay in bed thinking will there be 2 inches, 4 inches maybe 6? .......... gets out of bed, walks over to the windae and boof..... I had the proper definition of an Iain Brown 'WTF moment'

It was snowing lightly and my dad assured me it had been snowing constantly all morning but nothing on the ground except for on the grass there was a smattering that wasn't even enough to cover all the green. Genuinely WTF!!!!

Hoping things improve as the day goes on.

More or less exactly the same that happened here it's incredibly frustrating! Getting heavier again here now but ground is very wet
