We only had a tiny dusting this morning. This shower has given us loads. 

[overlander]

Hammering it down in glenrothes.

 

[Cheggers]

Pelting it doon now, whiteout conditions.

Met say to expect up to 25cm above 200m

[Stormeh]

Look at those showers out west! 

The best is yet to come!

[Benvironment]

Oh that's better. 2 inches in the last half hour

[Benvironment]

Blowing around a lot up here too, as the snow is very granular.

[101_North]

Latest batch of showers are largely fizzling out by the time they arrive here. Radar looks promising but been under a pink blob for 20 mins or so and there's nowt falling. Hope it peps up again later. 

[Duncan McAlister]

Still heavy rain here.

[Spindrift2017]

Heavy wet snow in the West End of Glasgow.  The pavements on the quieter side streets are treacherous, semi-frozen with a layer of slippery wet snow and slush.  Looking at the overall picture, although lying snow is limited in places, I'm amazed there was no amber warning.

Strathaven slap bang in the middle of the amber warning...and its chucking it doon. At home in coastal ayrshire........i believe its started to change to wet snow

Heavy snow showers lying in Motherwell at 1145.

Moderate snow here again now. Settling but will be short lived according to the radar.

Seems like we may have some joy after lunch when the temperature's forecast to drop.
