That would be helpful, just to quantify exactly how much snow I was missing out on. I'll warn you now though that I have a fair collection from 2009/10 and 2010/11 of snow the likes of which your former home would never have seen

Not bad SS, still love the long line of Fannies one..

Happy to report it's gone from rain > sleet to now wet snow here and looking like it could turn into full on superfast at any moment

Edit ; Well into the world of o/t is

- stupidly funny, why anyone filmed it will never know..!?! Even the idea of it makes you chuckle. Edited March 17, 2013 by lorenzo

GFS getting closer to the NAE, a very sharp boundary between the warmer and the colder air on Tuesday morning:

Before the warmer sector shown above DPs look fine, just need a slight southward adjustment on it to make it an all snow event.

NAE a precipitation upgrade early doors:

Still not up to the crucial timeframe where the less cold uppers threaten to move in.

Cold wins out:

Looking good Lomond, latest news 24 forecast going for 25cm of snow for high areas of eastern Scotland by Tuesday!

[Ross B]

A much heavier burst of snow now with the wet grass turning white!

[November13]

sleety here

[LomondSnowstorm]

Touch and go but the NAE holds sufficiently for reasonable low ground accumulation due to some very heavy precipitation and near 0C temperatures through the day Tuesday:

[jon_d1983]

Bbc forecast showing snow from tommoro afternoon but potential to wake up to snow in the morn. It's windy tonight and cold outside too.

[Benvironment]

Wind has really picked up now. It was 0.5C in the heavy showers but now it's rocketed up to 2C.

[Buriedundersnow]

just came back in and checked the NAE its looking really good with 24h of snowfall forecast.

[Bullseye]

Good half an hour or so of straight snow no messing lol, covering on grass,roof and cars tho ground very wet due to earlier rain. Must say its fairly suprising hope can continue tomorrow and into Tuesday!

[A Winter's Tale]

Wet snow here just now.

[Stormeh]

Snowing here after starting off as sleet.

[Guest]

Temp up to 2.6ºC here now, last couple of bursts have been rain. Most of the earlier slushy deposits have melted.

Forecast looking cracking though, bring it on!!!

[LomondSnowstorm]

Increased wind speed is going to mix out the colder surface air with the current tepid uppers, until the -8C brigade finally arrives through the day tomorrow:

Major squeaky bum time but it's looking good

Big fat flakes now and fairly heavy, cars and grass are already covered and is now sticking to the ground. I totally didn't expect this tonight, I thought it would be all rain here

[Allyw12]

Temp was 1.9/0.2 @ 10pm but risen again to 3.1/2.7 ?? Not getting my hopes up too high but it would be a great way to end winter with a big dump of Snow

NASA 12z 120h looking near identical to 18z GFS
