[Highland Snow]

My other half has just emailed me a photo of heavy snow falling outside his office window.In sodding Telford.In sodding midlands Shropshire.I'm in Scotland! Scotland, famed internationally for its cold, snowy winters! Scotland, the land of snow and ice! And I'm being out-snowed by bloody TELFORD??????

Yeah if you really want scundered BMW turn on Ken Bruce on Radio 2 and listen to Sally Traffic with her road and snow reports!

[Norrance]

A wee bit wet snow falling in outskirts of Dundee but only really landing as slush on windscreens. Sleety rain in town though and now virtually dry.

Snow lying again this morning at my mum's in Highland Perthshire.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Ended up with 2-3 cms. Looks like the snaw line was maybe 50 m down from me as in the leader valley floor it was more sleet and remained mainly green.

 

Melting slowly now at 1.2 C.

 

Better than a kick in the teeth.

Same here SS

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Very heavy snow around 6:30 when I woke up. About 2cms lay. Shame its melted now but more for me later today!

[Blizzardo]

Thats some quite potent shower activity heading towards Western Scotland just now. With a bit of luck a few places could get some decent snow later this afternoon and into this evening.

Nowt here except wind

 

Not expecting anything later

[LomondSnowstorm]

Still looks pretty good to me, certainly more interesting than we've seen in a while. Going to be a mixed bag as to how far east it gets, will certainly struggle if you're sheltered by the Borders Hills or the Grampians but in between I'd imagine it should manage to clear right through to the east coast. You're looking for more organised activity to ensure it still has decent intensity by the time it reaches the likes of Fife and Dundee though, although west of here for the likes of West Lothian, Stirling and Falkirk it looks more likely to remain intense.

12 o'clock radar showing snow for Ireland and should be moving our way later

 

 

and heres how the BBC see things at 5 o'clock but I think the showers might be a little ahead of schedule already

 

[snowy owl]

Think i need to move - might even miss the snow again this time

[Highland Snow]

Temperature now 4.8C/3.2C (+1.5C/hour).

 

After the rain cleared there was a nice ray of sunshine but now thick and threatening cloud has rolled in again

I'd agree with that, the showers are at least an hour ahead of that graphic.

Rain shower just blown through with bright sunshine again - must be April.

Light sleet on the north coast, clearing for a sunny afternoon now. Most wintry weather since er early December...

[Buriedundersnow]

we have been blaming the USA cold for our weather here but it may all be down to whats happening in south east asia

Ach well, snow is always welcome even if it doesn't render the landscape a monochrome picture.  This was the hill road this morning.

 

[Highland Snow]

Here is an interesting viewpoint on climate change:

Just had first light snow shower of the afternoon. The snow was very light and powdery compared to much wetter snow this morning. Should be less marginal for more areas.

[Zenarcher]

Really heavy snow here starting to lay as well. Will post pics later.

[A Winter's Tale]

A light snow shower passed through not too long ago followed by wintry clear blue sky. This week looks like being the most interesting of the winter so far and hopefully at some stage we all end up with our fair share of the white stuff.

[NUT]

First shower of the day here

Was feeling warm in the sunshine when I was out just 40 minutes ago, now there's a covering of snow. Snow rather heavy.
