Well well well.  I've come home to just over 10cm of snow, drifting on the hill road and a raging blizzard.  Incredibly, there's nothing just a couple of km down the hill.

Another hail shower rattling through left a covering

Holy moly! Whiteout in the space of 10 minutes 

[mardatha]

Our power went off all afternoon, back on now. Freezing hard outside now.

[Snowlover2]

Just had some heavy snow, didn't last more than 5 minutes but quickly covered the roads.

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Has anyone else noticed the difference in the forecast from the BBC for tonight and the latest radar sequence?? It seems quite a bit further north and with a bit more oomph.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Couple of cm's of new snaw lying here.

 

Came home in a blizzard and intentionally took the back road - 3 miles of white. Excellent.

 

1 C.

[Hawesy]

Dry and clear here in NE Fife, it's been pretty much dry all day, currently 0.6c after a high of just 2.7c.

I was in West Lothian today, and it was pelting down in the Bathgate Hills.  I managed to snap a few piccies while I was out & about at Beecraigs

Maybe that front will hit south of Scotland?

 

When you look at wider radar...

Looks further north than the Euro4 predicted.

Got an inch of lying snow here and still snow showers. Its not epic but its a start. 1km down the hill its brown,or grey or green.

Looking at that (sat/radar)i might be too far north as heaviest constant precip is birmingham south, radar is fragmented for this area, constant snizzle so far.... Doesnt look any better for at least next few hours... Edited December 11, 2014 by Will Padz

constant snizzle so far

 

Ah, the curse of snizzle. Can have you lining up the animals two by two from a look at the radar, but it's just nothing more than overblown scotch mist.

Magic Ben, Beecraigs is good , amazing view also at Cairnpapple

[Cheggers]

a covering is about the limit up here which is poor for the amount of heavy showers that have piled through, but not going to complain.

[edo]

Been a great day was working in alyth this avo and some real beefy showers...slight covering home and snowing lightly now...just waiting on someone delivering surprise news I'm getting a direct hit tomorrow

[Guest]

Just ice and slush here after a few snow showers. 101North, glad you got something to get excited about after all

[Cheggers]

This was earlier this morning...

Cheers :-) Not exactly a major event, a bit slushy but enough to enjoy and build some snowmen with the kids! As the wife pointed out - they were really helping me :-)

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Looks like Southern and maybe even Central Scotland could get something from this front. Its definitely further North than forecast.

Any idea when it's due to hit Ross?

[edo]

Not sure it is turning north though looking at radar although certainly further north than anticipated....what radar are you looking at

Netweather Radar. I realised there its not really heading North, my mistake.

[grifter]

Although we do have a MO warning - yellow - for snow and ice valid till 11 tomorrow. Just watched gavs weather vid and it looks like maybe tomorrow we have more chance of precip coming in.

I noticed this on the BBC weather on the TV, pretty good chance if you ask me but they seem to fade or break up as soon as they reach the Clyde.
