Snow back on here for last 15 minutes or so, lying too but still not covering grass. Radar looking a lot more promising though  . Hope everyone who wants it gets some of the white stuff.

[Norrance]

Showers here this evening have been disappointingly light and haven't added anything to the existing cover. Hopefully will get a bit more potent later?

[Benvironment]

Nothing here yet this evening aside from the odd 5 minute shower. 

 

Managed to get out in the hour of sunshine in between bands around midday.  East Lomond looked wonderful!

 

 

Then got caught in a mammoth blizzard.  Here it is approaching from the west above the Lomond Hills:

 

 

It's been a good day.  If tonight delivers I may have to dust down the snowshoes tomorrow

 

[BurntFishTrousers]

Time for a new avator!

 

[grifter]

Wee clip of me out the walk 1/2 an hour ago squishing through the earlier stuff and a few lamp post shots!

Heavy snow here now easily the best of the night so far!

[A Winter's Tale]

Everything is white with a cm of snow and with big fluffy flakes coming down. Magnificent

[blitzen]

Just look at it, clumps of the stuff incoming. No need to be depressed folks!

 

I'll get depressed if it piles up behind the Ochils!   Then you'll know where you can put your new avatar!

[Blizzardo]

Snow very heavy at the moment, large flakes and accumulating quickly.

[Cheggers]

BLIZZZZAAARRRDDDDD.

[Sawel]

Showers here this evening have been disappointingly light and haven't added anything to the existing cover. Hopefully will get a bit more potent later?

 

Yep, nothing to add to the 3-4 inches here (NW Dundee). All the snow we have fell before the Met Office put up the amber warning for snow this evening and tomorrow morning.

[Seraphim]

It's fairly coming down now in Bo'ness, laying on top of the dusting that's still here from 9am.

'Mon the snaw!

[Snowlover2]

Snow just started again here

[snowy owl]

I can see the stars here.

[Snowlover2]

Oh it's getting heavy!!! Yesssss

[Dalkeithsnow]

Has just started snowing here.

[lorenzo]

As Mrs L described earlier - in the car driving home along the m-8, just when you get to Livingston you get a pasting.

 

Perfect.

 

V6 radar shows a nice queue of heavy showers drifting in, as per Ross comment above easily the heaviest snow of the evening, skies have a great orange glow, lamp posts both looking fine. Zoom in on amber warned area below.

 

Satellite shows even more 'blobs' incoming and also on the far left the low undergoing RACY and about to get a steroidal shot of stratospheric air. 

 

From current obs. through til midnight tomorrow that's a drop of nearly 40mb ! 

GFS view

 

Couple of sferics dotted around, hopefully more to follow as the night goes on..

[spindrift1980]

Has just about stopped here but a decent wee covering - hopefully the base for a bit more through the night!  Snowing in Glasgow city centre and all the way out the motorway - not really lying in Glasgow and the lowest bits of the motorway though.

[Richard Taylor]

Nae blobs here.

 

Enjoying the reporting of everyone else's blobs though!  

[doctormog]

Just look at it, clumps of the stuff incoming. No need to be depressed, folks!

Just level the Cairngorms and we'll be fine. Not a flake here and none likely either. At least it's not raining...yet!

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Snow has been non-stop from the showers today, been really intense at times.

 

Here are a few pics taken a few hours ago.

 

 

One for those fellow lamp post watchers!

 

 

 

[Michael Kaii]

took the dog out for a walk in the snow! near enough whiteout and sore when the wind rises up

no sign of it stopping anytime soon

[A Winter's Tale]

A couple of pictures.

[blitzen]

Powder type here.

[BurntFishTrousers]

Big heavy snaw, relentless at the moment
