Everything white here. Lying better than it has all week!!

[gsteruk]

some lying snow in cumbie, but not falling at present. little more than a dusting though, nothing to be too excited about just yet

[Blizzardo]

As almost always a little bit of altitude will make a big difference. Moderate to heavy snow with a decent cover of snow when leaving Campsie. Still snowing at Kirkintilloch but just lying in patches and by the time I got onto the m 80 just sleet. In Glasgow it's raining.

[Kayemill]

I guess the valid from 11am on the metO warning is in relation to Englandshire as it looks like it will be all over shortly.

[GraemeB]

Snaw gone aff. Is that it or just a wee cameo appearance?

I plump for "that's it", for the sole reason that I just decided to give it 1hr and leave to go home.

Kiss of Death IMO

[Jon]

Plus 5 here in Alness and starting to rain....

[GrangemouthBairn]

Been heavy snow since I got up at half 7. Was struggling to lie on the road at first but now everything is white.

[tempestwatch]

Snow had just started in Lochgelly at about 6:30am then by the time I got to work in Alloa it was full on and heavy, everywhere has a good white covering.

Best its been over the whole of this cold period!

[onemanmows]

Fast falling small / medium sized snow here. Road starting to grey up.

Still pelting doon here

[Harve]

All rain here, however Glasgow Bishopton, despite being a good bit further west, has been reporting 0.1c and heavy snow?

[jon_d1983]

Snow I'm Aberdeen!! Bit early is it not?

[AugustSky]

Been snowing for almost an hour here but getting lighter now. Anyone know what's happening with the forecast? Has it all come early and will now turn to rain or is it meant to snow a lot more later like met office says? I'm confused.

[lorenzo]

Just an aperitif...

Grrrr. off to work for 12 hrs.

[JoeShmoe]

Bone dry here despite the radars suggesting it's wet, looking at the progress of the front it will have cleared by midday!

[Maitland]

Been snowing in Braco for a few hours now. Was fine but is now pepping up a bit. The road at the front that had been ploughed is now white again. It certainly looks as though it is on all day.

M...

[Northernlights]

Currently dry, 3 c and a fresh to strong S windwhich has melted/dried up most of the 2 inches of snow we had but ground still frozen hard.

South of Glasgow is rain/sleet but now turning to wet snow.

[edo]

I take it back enjoyed roads being the worst they have been getting out of luncarty this morning although still bit gutted will be rain later then melt melt.....any glimmers in FI?? I'm in meetings until lunch no time to look

[Audrey]

Be snowing here for about an hour. Very small flakes but it is overcast and looks like it is set for all day.

Have around 18 inches of snow so it will be interesting to see how much we end up with as much deeper and our 4x4 will even struggle.

[Munter]

You can keep your Easterlies! This frontal snow now delivering decent amounts in a short period here in Dundee after starting out very fine and light. Also good to see snow that isnt being blown horizontal for a change!

[Cheggers]

GreameB..... Still going!!! coming up on 2" now.

Just took kids in and local roads are lethal, cooncil running around like headless chickens as I bet they listened to Batty Boy and assumed sleet\rain here.

[cragonmore]

Steady moderate snow for last hour here in Dundee and Angus area. Main roads staying wet and clear but fresh covering settling on side roads and pavements. Front seems to have moved in and across the country faster than forecast unless of course this isn't the main show. That said, if we get a break between this front and second band then are temps more likely to rise faster and we get rain mid day onwards?

[Ravelin]

Snaw peltin doon in Dyce! Started in Kemnay around 7am and seemed to get progressively heavier on my drive to work in Dyce around 8am. As others have suggested this must have come in faster than expected as the forecast on BBC website for our area wasn't suggesting snow until the afternoon and light snow at that. Funnily, yr.no yesterday did suggest Kemnay would see snow starting after 6am.
