*should* being the operative word. A lot of uncertainty regarding this, GFS 18z has put it way to the west. General consensus at the moment is that much of western Scotland could see at least a few cm tomorrow.

I'll be happy with a few cm :-)

Thanks Nick, I hope you are right. I guess we just have to keep checking the radar tomorrow

Surprisingly the temperature has been going up and down like a yoyo since the sun went down. Had a max of 3.8C and from that at half 3 until 7pm it seemed to go down by 0.6C then up by 0.3C until it got to -0.4C. Then it went back up to 0.9C by 8pm, which I think was due to the breeze picking up, and stayed about that for 45 minutes, then dropped to -0.9C by 10pm. But now its risen back up again to 0.0C

You're not wrong...........  This was the Christmas card I sent hubby! My way of telling him to turn the heating up!

Well the 5 day forecast on my phone has changed 3 times today....first thing it was dry for five days then snow on Saturday then rain on Sunday and now it's showing snow on Sat sun and Monday.... It's got the same clue as me.. None  

[SW Saltire]

Reporting Scotland

2-5cm in western areas. Glasgow SSE to east of Dumfriesshire.

He also said early and further east than expected so central belt will get some i think.

moving in about 2/3 ish. 

Take it all with a pinch if salt, i think anywhere west of say Edinburgh (in that central third ie Perth and below and excluding the SE) could get some snow.

let's see what falls! 

But Ayrshire, Dumfries and Glasgow etc are fairly nailed on imo (if no drastic changes overnight)

Lochgelly (Fife Weather) has us down for heavy snow tomorrow afternoon.   A lot of fluctuations today in the temps and dewpoints though.  Currently sitting at  -0.6c/-2.5c/NW.   Still going to be a window forecast for me i'm afraid.

Still a good covering here from the snaw which fell on Wednesday night and followed by two ice days. Plan to get the nephew oot the morn with the wee quad bike and sledge for some fun in this icy snaw and if there is more snaw falling in the aftrenoon then fkn braw

I really hope the Euro4 is correct, it shows several hours of snow falling. I just hope it's heavy enough to produce a good few cm's of snow, Glasgow, Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway could do pretty well if it comes off.

All eyes on the satellite and radar later on!

[snowidea]

Some horror has stolen my snowflake again. Went to bed last night with Met O showing snow from early evening all the way through to Sun morning. Just checked again and now we just have cloud. Oh and the temps are higher than expected too. Sooooooo glad I didn't get the sledge out in anticipation.

[moffatross]

Its progression appears to be another 3-6 hours ahead of the modelling, and looks to be further east than last night's readjustment too.

[Norrie]

Met office weather warning out for snow for much of western Scotland from 11am today!

[GraemeB]

There doesn't look to be much in the way of moisture in the front moving down (well across) the NW.

 

[Blizzardo]

The last two nights have been my coldest of the winter so far with both getting down to -3.7c. The dewpoint is currently lower just now than yesterday at -5.0c which might be useful if the front reaches me later. I'm quite surprised at how far east the front is already.

[moffatross]

I think we may be looking at anoprop on the radar because there are no stations currently reporting ppn except for west coastal Norn Iron.

We'll soon find out as the radar shows the edge of the front moving close to me now. The BBC forecast there showed the snow graphic over me at 12 while yesterday it was from 6pm. 

[mistyqueen]

Mornin' snaw hunters! Dinnae bother comin' up here if you're lookin' for some o' the white stuff! Not a flake has fallen but maybe later on as it is beginning to cloud over now. And it's gey snell tae!

 

 

[mardatha]

Not sure about overnight, but the temp here this morning was minus 7. Snow still deep and crisp and even. And even clean lol

[November13]

The radar is maybe showing the moisture rather than actual hard stuff which might be an hour behind it. Either way the forecast timings have been stone age this last week. Currently -4.1 low of -5 not too shabby.

[Northernlights]

-3c here calm, with thin high cloud

[Northern Strath]

An overnight low of -8c again, so still to get double digits yet this winter, currently -6c

Kinbrace managed -9.6c

[edo]

-5.2 here in thin cloud with -8.0 overnight...so impressive.....doubting the weather station till I went outside....ignoring radar today..if it reaches be a nice surprise if not we will go sledging with what we have on the ground on day 4 of the cold spell...better winter than last already and only halfway through January

[Ravelin]

-2.7C here at just before 9am. Might, just might,  have been a flurry of snow overnight but if there was it really was only a few flakes among the frost. 

Looks prety calm and frosty out, with around 50/50 blue sky and thin high cloud.
