The good news short term is that the cold air comes back much quicker on the 12Z GFS, pretty much non-marginal by 9am tomorrowh850t850eu.png

 

 

Does this mean there is bad news long term ???? :)

Possible snow getting into the Lothians and Borders tomorrow evening but more widely the risk on Monday night is increased on this run from this 'wave' feature (note the -10C uppers hanging around as well by this time, and these are there through Sunday too):

precip totals amounting to 2-3 inches quite widely over 6 hours. Subject to change of course, but that's a very promising run.

Right....that's it....

I'm booking time off Tuesday Morning....AND I'm wrapping DR(S)NO Junior in bubble wrap...if that Snowman Build ever comes to pass.....

Rest assured you'll see it here first⛄ï¸

We're all gonna die some day...  It's just a matter of whether we die standing in the snow...  or lying down.

Quick question: Which model has proved to be most accurate this winter, also, at which timeframe (obviously > 24hrs out !)

 

Rather than pick the one which looks the best in terms of IMBY, is there one that's stood out as better ?

Another nice winters day. Still a good cover of snow despite some melting. The last big snowfall a couple of weeks ago had a full week of 5cm of snow on the ground. I've not checked the snow depth in a while but I suspect it is below 5cm, but nevertheless it looks like this will be another week's worth of lying snow for the second time this winter - and after two of the best snowfalls since 2010 - which should give this winter a very respectable passmark. I'm hoping for another snowfall in the coming days to add to and perhaps prolong the snow cover. Not too much chance this weekend for Glasgow unless something unexpected comes up such as a polar low whilst some eastern areas could do well. I suppose the next shot at a decent snowfall is Monday night but plenty if details will change in the coming days. I'm not sure about beyond next week, I think everyone is hoping for an easterly or some for, of proper HLB to become established.

Snow has continued to melt in Stirling but still a thin cover remains.

Now I'm back in Dumfries and we still have 10cm at the very least. Even in town there is still a 2 inch covering (although people and traffic have caused a melt and patchy cover).

I wish if been here to see it but oh well. I wonder how much will last until the next 'top up', I'm sure some will survive, with ice being quite widespread where snow has melted.

The Southern Uplands looked beautiful on the way down, I'm sure the highlands will look exceptionally pretty currently :)

That wee blob on the radar passing south over the Firth of Forth has fired up a bit in the last hour. Typically I need to go back to work to finish my shift before I'll get to see the outcome, but fingers crossed that firstly it makes it here and secondly it falls as snow. Currently 0.5º/-3.4ºC so you never know.

This what you're talking about Catch?   They do appear to be growing

Typically, they have skipped Fife but looks as if you, SS and Mardartha may get lucky?  Depends on your temps & dew points though I suppose.

Aye, that's the one. It really did pick up off the water, didn't it? I'm off back to work until 10pm so I'll try and peak out the window to see what's going on!! Typical lol

T = 1.5 °C / DP = -0.6 °C.

Trying not to get my hopes up as the front still has to head over the Southen uplands.... But it has intensified significantly in the last hour and goes as far west as almost Stranraer (and right to the east coast basically) so here's hoping.

Although, I'm also not totally sure it will fall as snow? Does seem pretty chilly out there at 1c

Same here. Scotland is famous for a lot of myths and legends. Nothing more so than the elusive phantom snow!

No real precipitation falling here. Felt a few spots of rain initially so probably for the better... Temp has risen to 2c now

Heavy wet snow / sleet / rain here which has destroyed most of the covering we had. Not to worry though as it shows the showers are very much going to reach here while the colder air currently moving in becomes established.
