I knew it wasn't a great sign LOL

The warning never looked right from the start 101

[chemikal]

Here is the front that just went through Glasgow about 15 minutes ago. Blinding winter sunshine to near darkness in a matter of minutes. Managed to get it when it was half n half.

[Ceitidh]

Hail and thunder again in East Kilbride just now

[blitzen]

Wind picking up again now and becoming a bit gusty. Temp and dew point falling also 3.2c/1.4c pressure 996mbs. Heavy sleet shower just starting.

Edit: 2.5c/1.3c now.

Don't know if it was when you posted but the gate is now shut. Not a surprise if you look at the Glenshee Ski area webcam...http://m.webcam-hd.com/ski-scotland/glenshee (that's if you can actually see anything),

 

Brief shower of sleety stuff in Dyce but back to blue skies again now. Wife texted earlier from work in Huntly "Snowing well outside".

 

Hi, it was open when I posted the link just after 11am

Thunder and Lightning now in Edinburgh City Center.

[Frozen Britain]

Heavy sleet now. Cold air must be coming back quicker than we thought.

[Bullseye]

Gutted about the latest warnings, may have been our last chance this side of the year. Let's hope for once Piers Corbyn has got this week and Christmas period correct!

I'm in the same boat.

 

However on the plus side it means I might get the car's washed while I'm off on Friday.

[Frozen Britain]

I'm near Kilmarnock

[Poots]

Heavy snow/sleet here now at the moment. We had a bit of thunder when I went out to get the wee one from nursery and a huge hail shower.

Don't give up so easily:

 

 

There's no indication in any of the models of a full-scale return to mild SWly winds in the medium term. There is a high likelihood that there will be more snow chances before the end of the month.

[snowy owl]

Really windy again!! Just had a blast of hail/snow pellets now lying on greenhouse roof! Shame about Friday warnings â›„ï¸ No snowmen just yet then.

[November13]

I am just praying for a wee dusting of snow when I get home but I might be deluding myself. Just wet and windy so far not that inspiring.

[101_North]

Heavy sleet now in Edinburgh.

Edit: Now wet snow. There's hope yet :-)

With all the damage Piers Corbyn has done to the credibility of serious meteorology over the years with only his own interests at stake, I wouldn't care for him to start lucking in now.

And yep, the GFS ensembles are screaming that out too ... http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/runs/2014121006/graphe3_1000___-4.056603773584904_55.991902834008094_.gif

Horizontal Sleet showers whizzing through

[edo]

[shetland islands]

Lots of thunder and lighting here with sleet and hail. Severe gales with 76mph at Sumburgh head.

Yes, Friday warning has gone for us, it has moved further south

ach well plenty time for that too change....and potential interest before then...although when were the qorst winds to hit here because nowt to report just now....just a normal dreich winters day so far

[Gogoslo]

Aberdeen yet to see any evidence of the "bomb".     Blue skies and not much wind in the city centre.  

[November13]

So a lot of hyperbole about a normal December Gale!

[LomondSnowstorm]

Not that surprising to see it moved south, we usually do better without warnings anyway...(and in this case we might end up far enough north of the system on Thursday night to benefit from more convective stuff).

Been wet snow here, temperature down to around 3C, the snow is starting to lie on some of the higher fields up the hill so about 200m while the tops have a good covering.

Pretty much how I expected today to pan out to be honest, although the wind has been pretty sporadic, should be more interest tonight and tomorrow
