Who's next on the wake-up call? :D You can see the squall line on the radar moving through, must be a trough.

 

I love the way the Met-O forecast for Thursday night into Friday for the south of Scotland has gone from "possible hill snow" to "rain or snow" to "sleet or snow". I have to admit that my ramp is quietly getting polished this morning.

Beginning to blow a little here now too...

 

Overnight fax paints the picture well and satellite shows the convective cells amassed out west and waiting to charge through.

This link is a great watch for sferics, turn stations on and you get a great 'star wars' type display every time there is a hit.

Gust approaching 60mph at sea level in places now, overnight easily over 100mph from stations at altitude.

 

EDIT - from twitter - Skye Bridge shut earlier due to 76.1mph gust.

Wee dusting of snaw here.

 

Well, more if you take a dusting and blow it into wee mini drifts against the house and stuff.

A deceptive morning here, temp is now up to 2.5ºC and it looks mostly wet on the ground. However, I've been out with the dogs and have seen that there are some parts with a very thick coating of ice and frost. Radio reporting various problems with this in the Borders, cars off the road, etc.

I'm not ashamed to say I may have roared a wee bit at 0530 when the crack sounded like the house was falling down.....

Absolutely wild here. Our fair weather dog has soundly refused to go out in the garden for a pee and is away up to bunker down on our bed. Kids are also trying to pull a fast one saying they can't possibly walk to school in that. Eh, they can.....

Morning campers! Well that was an interesting night, sleet, hail, thunder and lightning, oh, and a wee bit o' wind flung in for good measure! Had a couple of power cuts during the night too, but wind picking up again. Still no mobile or telly signal, so it's the wireless for me today. Stay safe all!

We have a light dusting of snow on the grass, doesn't look as though it's going to snow for a while, as the sky is clear, apart from a few grey clouds blowing about on the wind.

I think LS noted that there would be a "warmer" interlude this morning. Anyone expecting snow away from the upland north is maybe a little overenthusiastic this morning. Any action should kick off later tonight into tomorrow. 

 

Euro4 chart for around 2hrs ago now:

Here's the link if you would like a wee shufty:

Judging by the latest FAX charts the weather warning for snow for Thursday into Friday will be revised south at some point later today (usually mid-morning for the updates). The Euro4 doesn't even bring the precip to the Border, although this might be different in frames past it's limit of +48hrs.

 

The latest TAF for Glasgow Airport is a busy read this morning, gusty winds, heavy rain showers, thunder, hail, sleet, two kitchen sinks but no out and out snow:

I must be living in a different country from everyone else! Temperature here is currently 4.7C, clear skies, 0mm of rain, a bit breezy looking. Nothing like everyone else is reporting. Wife has stolen my car (4x4) this morning to go to work in Hunty too.

Do we have anyone on the Kilted thread from Mull of Kintyre? I've got a friend who I rarely hear from but I got a text from him at 7.30 this morning. He lives right on the coast near a village called Clachan, which is about 10 miles south or Tarbert. I'm quoting him directly.

Further south than East Ayrshire / South Lanarkshire?

 

Left Darvel 140m it was 4.6 Deg and raining.

 

Arrived Prestwick at sea level and it's 3.5Deg and sleet.
