[A Winter's Tale]

Scotland v Estonia fitba match on Wed at Pittodrie might be interesting...

It's sure gonna be pure Baltic for Gordon Strachan's first game in charge. We all hope that the lads will finally play the sort of football that their capable of, and in blizzard conditions too.

[Norrance]

Shower on here just now. Nice dry stuff covering the bits of road that were still black.

Typical though on an evening perfect for lamppost watching ours aren't working.

[Hairy Celt]

blowing fiercely all day, easing a bit now. started with rain and sleet, then went through hail & graupel to proper flakey stuff for the afternnon, now back to graupel. feeling rather battered, enjoying an evening in the warmth.

Scientists at Lews Castle College UHI have been measuring what they described as "extreme" wave heights in the sea off west Lewis.

Arne Vogler, a senior research engineer and principle investigator at the Hebridean Marine Energy Futures project, said hurricane force gusts had also been recorded.

He said extreme wave heights with averages of 14m (45ft) and maximum waves of 23m (75.5ft) had been recorded.

Can't see anything on those fb links BFT. Maybe private?

[Poots]

Just had a massive rumble of thunder here!

[aggy]

Any news with regards to the massive 45ft plus swell up north, it's a scary thought

[BurntFishTrousers]

60ft last I read ^

[edo]

light covering here with a few healthy showers....will see what overnight brings but hoping for a cm

[101_North]

Few more heavy showers this evening but nothing like the earlier whiteout.

[snowy owl]

Braw blizzard here too earlier, impressive coverage in no time Hoping for some more overnight/tmrw

[Frozen Britain]

Been snowing in Ayrshire since dinner time. A covering on everything now. More to come hopefully, before the winds switches round to the north during tomorrow, and the snow threat transfers to northern and eastern areas.

[daboss]

These showers are mad, 60 second blizzard then clear sky. Never seen clouds pass so quickly.

[Frozen Britain]

The snow that is falling just now compensates for the white stuff that was supposed to fall earlier today, and never materialised.

[Maitland]

Up until 20 minutes ago it was a lovely clear sky and just happened to see a lovely shooting star. No hope of that now as it is a bit of a white out.

M...

Hope you wished for more snaw!!! LOL

[Northernlights]

Quite a snowy/blowy evening here about 2 level inches possibly with drifts up to a foot deep in the lea of buildings. Currently -0.6c. Long time since we have had proper drifting snow. Imagine if we had this for 24 hours or so not much would be moving.

[NUT]

Serious snow been going on for 10 minutes now

[Cheggers]

Snaw so heavy Bonnybridge has gone.

[Buriedundersnow]

snowing here and everything getting a covering

[Soaring Hawk]

Usual non-event here

Am obviously hoping for snow for southside of Glasgow and East Ayrshire around Stewarton and nearby villages but I'm praying and praying, promising extreme penance and servitude for all eternity and doing deals with God, Allah, The Pope, the new Arch Bish of Canterbury and even the Free Wee for some of the white stuff to fall on BFT's house to cheer him up so he can use an excited gif thingy instead of flying teddies! I feel a mission coming on....
