It would take multiple screenshots to post my GFS / XC Weather fantasy forecast this morning! Wall to wall snow from Tuesday to Friday with 89.1cm in total  

The sensible bet is on the Met forecast for the same period

 

Warnings are for High ground snow it’ll be interesting to see who is correct

Yep I do like a weather app with a sense of humour.

I just can't see snow falling here with an easterly wind in that setup sadly. Coastal mixing, moderation blah, blah etc

About -7c I think. Current air temperature here bang on 3c. That 10c difference is pretty standard here when there’s a maritime influence. Which is why I need -10c 850s in an easterly for snow on the immediate coast!

As if to prove the point a little shower moving through here and it’s rain with the air temperature now 3.4c.

[Serac]

Bonus snow shower here 

iPhone weather forecast as ludicrous as xc today , snow every day for next week , yeah sure 

[Polar Gael]

Unexpected and decent dusting of snaw overnight. Gently thawing away now. Currently 1.9°C/1.0°C, slight breeze and some blue sky showing.

No snow here but there’s @Blitzen got some eh currently 4.9C / DP 2.1 another reason is the flow today doesn’t have that big sea track from the east it’s sourced from the north east  

[blitzen]

Hmm...If I recall,  (just last night)  your now infamous quote of 'sleety pish' resulted in 2 rather nice snow showers here!

Keep on keeping on 101...works well for me!

Wet snow with this shower

Mini blizzard going on at the moment here and it's settling.   Just to let 101 know!

About time you joined in with winter

[101_North]

Heavy shower here. Settling instantly but lasted 2 minutes and suns out again

[metallikat34]

Looks like snow is quite likely on Tuesday. And some of those ensemble totals

Sure I put a similar pic up few weeks back here's another anvil looking east .

Here’s a few pics from my walk in the Pentlands this morning.

if I had a pound for every time you've said that this winter and ended up with inches of the stuff .. 

In all seriousness upland Edinburgh and the Pentlands *could* get hammered this week if it comes off

I've just come home from that spot.. must have passed you!

[Sanserit]

Woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning and the house feeling absolutely baltic...it helps if you remember to set the heating to come on a little earlier when it’s cold overnight. Not too bad a day, sunshine for the most of it with a couple of light showers of something white.

Overnight lows of -4.0c/-4.8c, max’ing out at 4.7c/2.6c around 2pm but falling since to current temp of 1.7c/0.1c. Very little breeze to speak of and pressure at 1014.9. Plenty of snow clouds visible towards the coast, just wish they’d come further inland.

 The ice speedway is still rock solid, tested it out on my journeys back and fore to fill the feeders so I can count birds for the RSPB bird watch.

[blitzen]

Cold one tonight maybe?   1.2c/0.5c

A couple of photos from today's walk taken at the car park near the top of Sui Hill. Plenty of people out enjoying it, those on cross country skis having the easier time. 

 

 

Oh, and here's how to try to lose your dog...
