jeez if it keeps going like this for another 10 years i might just end up with an inch

Chart below needs very little description.

-14s just off the NE coast. Shockingly cold.

[Penicuikblizzard]

Surely with uppers that low the North Sea snow machine will kick into gear later tomorrow?

[Blizzardo]

Looks like a bit of convection off the east coast. It would be interesting if the almost static front combined with convection.

-14s just off the NE coast. Shockingly cold.

Looks like a lot more precipitation than previously thought for eastern Scotland too:

Could be quite a decent snowfall with a bit of intensity.

++++ WE INTERRUPT THIS THREAD TO BRING YOU AN URGENT KILTED WEATHER WARNING*++++

*from the past - which is where this winter's come from

[Benvironment]

I can't remember the last time I saw something fall from the sky that didn't bounce when it hit the ground

[LomondSnowstorm]

Very odd to think that it's the 22nd March and the only thing between any of us and a really good snowfall is a lack of sufficiently heavy precipitation. Everything else is set up perfectly.

[Benvironment]

Oh and -1.3C. Yet another ice day here. Amazing!

[Hairy Celt]

think yersell lucky pal, think yersell varry lucky indeed.

[scottishandy]

My second summary of this winter's snowfall - massive potential with minimal acheivement.

The anticipation has exceeded the event in almost every case, all good fun though and the snowsports industry has done well out of it!

[Hairy Celt]

Chart below needs very little description.

-14s just off the NE coast. Shockingly cold.

good job all that oil still left under the north sea will be ours, all ours, after sept next year cos we're gonna need it to keep warm.

and topography, and the Rolls Royce of a motherfckn snawshield that's been in overdrive all fckn winter.

Epic drive home! Off the scale!!! Severe drifting along my road. Will try and get a video up between now and bedtime

[Bullseye]

Interesting Metlink weather have issued Extreme Warning for NW Eng and D&G and also Severe Warning for Scotland saying another 6-8hours of heavy snow as the front has stalled this was 10min ago. Found out over on Twitter Annan is completely cut off no power people told not to leave house! This could worst snowfall in history

[Buriedundersnow]

all white here and flakes getting bigger

[Cheggers]

all white here and flakes getting bigger

Where are you BUS, close on 3" here now, and the lights of Bonnybridge been missing for nearly an hour now. Just looked at lamppost and still coming in horizontal.

[Buriedundersnow]

didnt think i was going to get a covering tonight just need to wait and see where i can get to by the end

[GrangemouthBairn]

Been snowing for most of the day here but the flakes were so small that they weren't covering the ground quickly enough for it to lie.

Between 5 and 9 the snow was lying on the grass and just starting to turn little areas of some paths white.

Everything is well and truly white now. Pleased because I was starting to doubt that I was going to see any proper lying snow at all this week.

i'm in stenhousemuir so quite low down

[Buriedundersnow]

i think i have been right close to the edge of the front most of the day aswell thats why it was moslty snizzle coming down

[scottishandy]

Can confirm lying snow on plant in Grangemouth, not often I see that!

Kinda fun wandering about outside, gentle swirling snow onto wet ground among the structures but full on horizontal on plant perimeter and ground white, oh and about 1000 high power lamps to see it with!

[Benvironment]

What did we all do before precipitation radars? Was it really just lamp posts??

[NUT]

Still getting pummled been like this for 6 hours but I will say snow is that kind of wet/sticky stuff

[Sunny Leith]

Hee-haw here after some stuff blowing in the wind earlier. Mini-TOORP from me, as despite being in the east - and the source of the cold coming from the east - we've contrived to avoid decent snow that has happened to the north, west and south of us during the week. I give up !
