Morning. Frost not as severe as yesterday. Now turning cloudier.

Dipped into MT and it seems sinking high and possibility of further pm incursions. Interesting that the artic high might be appearing?!

Wee flurry outside. Nice to see but won't trouble the roads dept :-)

[blitzen]

Morning.

Yes, a flurry or two here also but nothing to get excited about!   Some areas down south did very well though didn't they?   Read reports of 7".

[Northern Strath]

Covering of snow here and the temp is sitting at -1.5c which is the 'warmest' it's been since Christmas Eve

[Allyw12]

Self generating snow is still going here?

What's RGB, Lorenzo?

 

Nothing too amazing, different colours depicting warm and cool air airmass types.

 

Image here displays the gist and also text goes into some of the technical details.

And right on cue it stops and nowt on radar but think I will ignore the radar now we are into the new stealth snow era

[Frozen Britain]

Same as grafter for me. No snow fell here. Just a hard frost on the grass and cars and pavements etc. which hasn't yet melted. Bright blue skies today and I believe it is expected to remain so until the middle of next week when it is expected to become unsettled and milder once again, so overall a very disappointing December for snow in my location.

Afternoon all! Had a very tiny fall of the white stuff about an hour ago, but as ground is wet it disappeared as fast as it came! Cold at -2.7 though and skies clearing again.

Like the idea of the stealth snow era

Looks like a wee dusting on the Pentlands.  Nothing at all here (as usual!) but it's a lovely crisp winter day.

 

[speyweather]

Looks set to be the third ice-day in a row of this winter. After an overnight low of -9.0c, the temperature started lifting around 3am. The early fog lifted and a brief spell of sun this afternoon provided that lovely winter scene of sunshine, snow and heavy frost. But 2014 looks like it's going to be our first winter (from 2000) when the low hasn't dipped into minus double figures..... (and I do believe they've had bit of a dusting south of the border... not sure though as I haven't had the news on!!)

[NUT]

The most wonderful day (after a little bit of a cloudy start) but the clear skies with cold air can only mean 1 thing at night................Going to be a chilly one out there!

Like the idea of the stealth snow era

The twitter account UK weather watch put out a tweet asking for snow reports because the snow is not showing on radar....the era has begun.....there is a polar low hiding just about to hit us tonight

[mardatha]

Been snizzly snow here on and off since teatime, I don't know if Scottish Skier is having the same over at his place..

[DR(S)NO]

Hi Folks....hopefully I'll be forgiven this non model related post.

Firstly I just wanted to thank you all for your best wishes for the health of my son. It was very kind of you all.

The wee man has continued to fight off his infection and managed to catch Santa sneak in onto the ward at Midnight on Xmas Eve.....Santa delivers to every kid in the hospital that night!

He continues to improve and the doctors allowed him a few hours off on the Big Day itself...which made our day.

We are very hopeful that he may get out for the New Year....and,if you don't mind, I'd love to keep you updated on his progress.

Doctors advised us today that he really was very, very sick last week but they are impressed with how strong he has been.

So thank you all once again

No signs of anything seasonal in central. Hovering about 1 degree earlier, but doesn't feel interesting. Quite dreary really. I know nothing about forecasting in any way but it doesn't feel like we're going to see anything interesting anytime so on. Hope I'm wrong

[mardatha]

Sending love, light, and strength for the wee soul DR (S)NO.

[over_the_rainbow]

Wishing him all the best and a super swift recovery DR (S)NO

Ended up a good 2c warmer than forecast and actually a bit of a murky afternoon with a few showers and currently a bit drizzly. Not great.

[Guest]

The precip coming off the North Sea turned to wet sleet for about five minutes, back to wet, cold rain now. Lovely

[snowy owl]

Dr(S) No - wishing all the very best for a speedy recovery xx would love to hear how you get on . Love snowy owl + family x
