[Cheggers]

Can confirm something resembling dandruff falling fae the sky.

[LomondSnowstorm]

Steady fine snow in Suburban South Embra, but not settling as yet...

Grass cover notable on the Braids and visible down to about KB level now, think the next shower ought to do it...

[Ross B]

Much more organised now, just leaving Edinburgh abd the sky is very dark to the east. Hooe it follows me home!

Really picking up here now, sky completely full of the lighter grainier stuff. Wind telling a story too as a lot getting twisted around and gives an indication of later possibilities with drifting. This is going to be a good 'un !

[Munter]

Lobbing it down now in Dundee. Quite amazed how quickly it's settling given how wet it is on the surfaces. Could be a lot of snow if this keeps going overnight!!

[Buriedundersnow]

GFS 12z going for a scandi high right at the end of FI would be good to have and get more snow in april

Could be a fun trip out to Armadale tonight then if band's still on (seems to be cancelled almost weekly due to snow).

Hefty, hefty shower just starting here...

This one rivals that one on Monday that we had, huge flakes and visibility down to next to nothing in under a minute.

Brilliant!

So, a brief review of the last few days here:

Sat: cold & sleet. All day.

Sun: cold and cold rain. All day.

Mon am: cold and cold rain. All d...

Mon pm: OOOOFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!!!!

Snaw's back.

Started at 2pm - very light stuff and wet. On and off. Has been growing heavier and more constant through the afternoon. Trying to settle, but ground is soaking.

Still, temp is at 0.9ºC/1ºC and it's on for the night, so would expect it to begin settling soon. Fun and games ahead!

Blizzard-like now, its getting worse.

Edit: the concrete has gone white.

[Buriedundersnow]

wish some heavier stuff will fall here the flakes that are falling arent melting as soon as they hit the ground just not heavy enough to start giving a covering yet

[LomondSnowstorm]

From lying on no surfaces to lying on all surfaces in five minutes here! Mental!

[NUT]

Can see sleet here now well close to here as I just heading home

[jon_d1983]

Snow no where near heavy enough at moment in aberdeen to do anything. The Mrs reported heavier snaw in westhill.

[BleakMidwinter]

If a blizzard is defined by visibility, then this is a blizzard now. Very very low visibility, proper snowflakes, starting to settle, coming in at a 25-degree angle...

Wheee!!!!

[Buriedundersnow]

getting heavier now with bigger flakes

[Allyw12]

Temp now 0.7/-0.9 snowing but still not settling on pavements & roads, getting a bit worried

[LomondSnowstorm]

All you need is one decent shower to hit and it'll lie easily at that temperature profile.

[Buriedundersnow]

bbc24 news says things could be quite disuptive by tomorrow morning

[Buriedundersnow]

Temp now 0.7/-0.9 snowing but still not settling on pavements & roads, getting a bit worried
