very heavy shower just passed through... everything white and the foundations are now there... everything that falls now will be accumulating

[Highland Snow]

On Strathmartine Road, Dundee, North of the Kingsway came out of work to 1cm snow on the car. At home, diddley squat!

[Ross B]

Just aborted moving house as the snow has got really bad. About an inch settled here just west of bathgate with snow still falling. Even got a few mini snow drifts!

[Highland Snow]

Temp. +1.6C/+0.1C - that explains it then!

Pah! Left only a bit of slush in Motherwell and Hamilton.

[Richard Taylor]

Zip here so far. Saw the BBC Scotland guy at Newtonmore ( I think it was) just now - looks wild I must say!

The hills are doing a good job of protecting Aberdeen so far.

I'll wait for the easte - - err, I mean northerly!

[lorenzo]

The speed of these showers steaming through is something else, not seen a flow as rapid as this before, from west to east coast in around 1hr 45 to 2hrs judging by the movement on radar.

Looking west the conveyor belt just keeps on coming.. easily the best snow of the winter for here, another whiteout in progress.

yr.no loop is worth a watch too demonstrates the speed well, usually this animation is smooth, satellite not keeping up with the quick progression this time http://www.yr.no/satellitt/europa_animasjon.html

Funnily enough I have just been up Strathmartine Road to the North of the Kingsway. Snowing heavily and now a good bit more lying with side roads getting tricky. Back on lower ground here just about a centimetre and still snowing. 0.7C

[BurntFishTrousers]

*drying up means nae snaw of course.....

I'm so jealous of you all in Scotland from sunny Devon!

[lorenzo]

Sunny at this time of day??

[Snowplough33]

Yeh an impressive flow when the showers are making it full length west to east. Aberdeen still slightly sheltered by the Highlands but your time will come on Wednesday. Small covering here. Good showers passing through. Fun evening coming up watching the radar. At least with the west flow, we loose the marginality issue of the east coast.

Enjoy

[Poots]

Absolute white-out here in the space of about 20 minutes, it's blawing a hoolie

[aggy]

Still nothing lol

Well it was earlier, you get the best winter storms we rarely get proper settling snow too

[Snowlover2]

I'm actually in shock at how much snow has fallen in 10 mins :o pics coming.

[Snowlover2]

It won't let me upload pics but there must be about 1cm already. In the space of 10/15 mins.

[Buriedundersnow]

drying out here hopefully some snow will fall now as its prob best chance of sticking if the ground gets wet again will prob just melt on landing

[aggy]

It's a blizzard oh it's off again

[spindrift1980]

Typical of this winter - even in a westerly the east appears to be getting more snow!

[blitzen]

Wow! That last one kept going for 20mins and everything now white. Been on and off all day really, but just too wet to cover. Temp0.6c/-0.1c so if there is any more to come tonight then there won't be a problem. What I wouldn't give for a good few hours of that intensity! I could hardly see across the road at one point it was so thick.

[Blizzardo]

Nice shower on just now finally giving a full cover of snow 1.4c/0.0c

[November13]

slight covering but hardly ice station zebra nothing below 300ft.Temps will rise early morning so a non event for most tonight.

[Norrance]

Dry here at the mo and turning icy. Looks like some cloud out to the West. Anything happening towards Perth?

Writing things off a bit early are you not?
