I'm guessing the feature itself is wanting to keep moving east and south a bit, just at the same time as it's trying to send precipitation down around it's western flank. Very hard to say how that will pan out over the next few hours. Does the big blob off the Fife coast get re-circulated down and around south-westwards or does it all get pulled away and just affect east lothian/east borders  ?

Eventually the latter but there's probably enough westward movement of the band over St Andrews relative to the low to make it to Edinburgh. Tough call though, no model is handling this particularly well, although the NMM wasn't too bad overall.

The MO seem to have it tracking further west again around 3am, by which point the band is to the south of Edinburgh, which would be quite infuriating!

I'm scrunching my eyes up on the radar to try and anticipate the track of the east coast blob but not convincing myself it'll make much of a south-westwards move. Plenty cold sleet coming down here in Leith, the raggy stuff showing up on the radar, but we'd need to get under that heavy blob for intensity ....plus throw in just a tiny nudge down in temperatures, uppers, dew points, wind back west of north...the usual.... Probably hoping for too much locally at least ;-)

Signing off! It ain't happening! If you're staying up - enjoy!

Think I agree.  Still scope for east of us as it sinks south a bit more but I don't think the bulk of it is being sent our way. Bit unlucky overall, from Angus to Berwick the North Sea is full of it. If the whole lot was just 50 miles west it could have been quite a mess out there tonight from Glasgow to Edinburgh.

 

Edit: certainly lots of wet snow coming down here just now but just too marginal in every respect.

Seems to be a fine mist up here interspersed with snaw flakes, almost looks like a hoover bag has exploded and the dust is swirling in the wind. Still nice and white up in the wilds of Denny though.

I think the forum software has been drinking, not me!

Err, still dry on the Black Isle, and likely to stay this way for the foreseeable.  Nighty night.

Trying to lie here, and succeeding on wall and the picnic table in the Pear Tree beer garden, wet on the pavement though. The band will continue to pep up a little though as it moves south so the extent of proper snow cover might be a bit better by morning (still an uphill battle for Leith though as always)

The Pear Tree ? Bloody students ;-) 

Edit: gone off here and I can see Fife clearly now (one of the only 2 useful measurements I can make from my window). Usually not a good sign unless the whole mess can muster one final nudge south and west.

Does anyone remember, I think it was December 2009 when a little band of snow moved northeast out into the North Sea and everyone went to bed thinking that was it, then woke up in the morning to find the snow had actually moved back southwest during the night and intensified to give heavy snow which lasted until lunchtime the following day. That was the most enjoyable surprise snowfall I've ever had. If only that happened tonight.

That's just the view from the flat - I'm so lazy that I live within 2 minutes of the main uni and 5 pubs :p 

Looks like the band is throwing another streak southwest from Angus towards Kinross (which seems to stretch as far as Grangemouth) and we're very close to the main band itself anyway, though undoubtedly this will happen:

It's back on now here actually.

Could've been the 22nd/23rd of that month - I remember the NMM had it heading back into the central belt while the Beeb Scottish forecast had it mostly dry even while the news was reporting on the snow (presumably pre-recorded):rofl:  That main band is agonisingly close now - it moved westward a bit in the last half hour, particularly the heavier pulses out in the North Sea, but not sure it can quite get far enough...

Just got up with one of the kids and my first thought was to check the radar before peeking behind the curtain!

We have a dusting outside but this is irritatingly close to something so much better LOL

4cm or so here. Doesn't seem to have changed much overnight; radar looked better than it was.

Still lovely oot though.
