We just have to work with what we've got this winter I think Catch.   No height rises to our north, but neither did 1984.   I am not for a moment suggesting that is going to happen, but just demonstrates what could in the absence of any significant heights.   Everything came in from the west/northwest regularly throughout the month.   By the end of the month, snow was up to my hips!  (Wouldn't take much 'cause I'm only 4'10" - but you get my........ DRIFT!:laugh:)

No great shakes with the 850s either!  Go take a look in the archives.  I'm sure SS has pictures of his mum and dad's house during that winter.

0.6C here with just over 2 inches of frozen crispy snow on the ground.  I was working over in West Lothian all day and it was agonising watching the Traffic Scotland cams, seeing Fife getting a pastin

Wind has really risen these last few hours,started washing car in full winter gear and thought to myself really feeling cold now as I finished came in for a hot tea and saw temperature had fallen to 2.3c no wonder there was a bit of windchill. Dark stormy looking sky too now.

Dead flat calm here at the moment and rain has just started.  4.2c/3.5c but there has been a pressure drop of 20mbs in 24hrs which suggests it is going to get stormy?

I think the 12z run is quite good for Scotland considering.  From 90hrs onwards, with the exceptions of a few frames, 850s range from -4s/-6s/-8s throughout.    Precipitation around so I think the mountains should be quite happy?   Some lowlanders happy too at times I should think.

Interesting charts those, especially in the context of the Stratospheric thread with suggestions of a powerful vortex being nudged south towards Europe. Useless further south, but potential further north and potentially amazing for some.

Oh, ok then, I'll just watch this!   La la land though, but a fair enough run and not without interest for Scotland all the same.

Currently gusting up towards a window rattler, and despite the transient mild uppers, it's cold outside in the wind. Nearer to hand model wise, this Monday night into Tuesday also has potential.

Really?   Don't have enough to stir a crisp packet here.  4.4c/3.8c/E.

Aye, coming ESE, and not just the wind, but the rain is splattering horizontally onto the east facing windows too. Pretty typical of this perpetual wild autumn really, to be getting pish from the east, pish from the south, pish from the west, and pish from the north too :closedeyes:

In one word, I'll let you sum up this winter then!:laugh:

NMM goes a bit bonkers for the West Highland mountains tomorrow, particularly around the Glencoe area. Could have snow coming down at 3-4 inches per hour somewhere in Southern Lochaber late morning into Sunday afternoon if it verifies! :cold:

The afternoon of wind and heavy rain appears to have run itself out of steam now but it ended pure torrential and I left me with 15 minutes of mopping up the run-off water that made its way onto the kitchen floor. Some mastic, sand & cement required when it's next dry to fill a crack at the base of an east facing wall. Ho-hum ...

Well if it'll hang around till next weekend that'll be cool.  Snowshoes waiting in the porch still.

Meanwhile, a bit of a wtf here Firefighters injured in 999 crash after engines leave road near Inverness  wtf.thumb.jpg.5c0bff5a03559bb00e9f7f0c43

Looks a bit barmy.  However I'd guess they got caught out after last night's snap freeze.

Depends where you are, Catch, and what makes your winter! I can see me getting snow showers at work (250m asl, between Invermoriston and Shiel), possibly a few times this week, but at home... no chance (happy to do a Paddypantsdownhateatingthing though).  However from Weds onwards it looks chilly everywhere.

Very true, and I am not really expecting much here in the coming week, but we've seen worse charts. Seen better but seen worse, a bit like being a Motherwell fan I would imagine.

Anyone else find the trafficscotland website STILL about the most irritatingly primitive and hopeless?  None of the useful cameras or weather stations reporting data and the usual incompetent map zooming and scrolling. Grrrr.
