Well still waiting for my first day of lying snow. Was below zero until 3pm yesterday and still it rained. I swear it's got to be minus 5 in Falkirk before it snows.

Hang the weather, so sad the news that made this grey day so much more dreich and in homage to Mr Bowie, my thoughts on the MT

"It's big and it's bland full of tension and fear/ 
They do it over there but we don't do it here"

RIP Dave, a true hero.

Latest MetO has me for sleet turning tae snaw the morn then aw freezing up over the morn's nicht ready for another Soutra black ice carnage Wednesday morn*.

I'll take that.

--

*Was pretty surreal today. First car in a ditch I thought...maybe the ice. Then there's another further along = ok, black ice confirmed. Then there's the 4x4 getting dragged out by a recovery. Was like a scene from the Day After the Morn or something.

Increasingly support tyres with the winter stamp on them as a legal requirement over the winter.  In addition to keeping folks safe and traffic moving; think of the savings on salt and the harm to the environment it can cause being taken away. If our Nordic cousins can...

Couldn't agree more.  I collected a hire car today - the same as the one now awaiting repair - and it has summer tyres on.  I cannot effing believe it.  God knows what sort of terror awaits in the morning.

 

Hail on and off the last hour.

SEPA have issued a flood warning for the Eddleston Water in Peebles. It's been a wet night for some parts and a lot of rain to come today. 

@Ravelin are you ok up there? Not sure if the really heavy rain has been over you but it looks like it's one hell of a morning up your way.

It's going to be a foul day in places, there's loads more rain to come particularly in the east.

The snow risk increases dramatically as the day goes on, fingers crossed there's still some precip around. There's also a massive risk of very icy conditions by tomorrow morning particularly for those areas getting hosed down again today.

Cannot help but feel this is a massive waste of ppn, you'll see how we're effin bone dry when snow could be falling!!! 

15mm already and temp falling slighty to 3.5C, so as soon as I step outta the house it will feel FREEZING and WET. That's the UK for you. Also it's that fateful time of the year when we are the ONLY place in the world above 55ºN where there isn't some extensive snow cover. The f____ing marvels of the Gulf Stream I guess...

Looking forward to some clear skies tonight and a bit of frost to be honest! Have a good day everyone.

Don't say it's a surprise @101_North :D Some of the precip charts for later have heavy snow for parts of the Edinburgh/Lothians/Borders, fingers crossed they are right and the drier looking Euro4 is wrong. 

@peborant you got that right about the waste of PPN. Rain will always make it to your location, snow senses a slight rise in elevation (roughly 15 metres) and gives up :rofl:

Fingers crossed Catch! Still heavy sleet here - shows the potential for later hopefully!

Was phishing it down earlier (and probably overnight) but hasn't seemed too bad for the last couple of hours. Roads weren't too bad this morning ,best they've been for several days in fact. River level was well down so I don't think the rain was heavy or sustained enough to cause flooding from that. Any rain at all is unwelcome though, the ground is so sodden it's got no capacity left to soak anything up.

Rare 'hair ice' discovered in Bracklinn Woods

National park rangers have found a rare form of ice covering dozens of pieces of dead wood in woodland near Callander.

The "hair ice" is a highly unusual type of frost that needs a very particular set of conditions to form.

Suzanne Humphris, a ranger team leader for the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, discovered the ice in the Bracklinn Woods on Friday.

Some also been found on the 9th of January in the woods https://twitter.com/lisawood81  just 3 miles to the west of me. Saw the photos on twitter. We have had a lot of  misty mornings recently where the ground has frozen but the air temperature is above freezing making walking anywhere interesting

I've heard about this  Knocker but have never actually seen it.  Would love to see it for real.

Nothing but rain and temps are far too high at the moment. Not expecting much other than snow showers later in the week. This has been my worst winter since 1988- 1989 I think when I were a lad.
