Scotland Weather discussion

2 inches up here, falling horizontally, but very wet and sticky. Looks great when it's intense but also looks like it'll be over soon. I actually don't mind too much if it means the higher hills farther north that have been woefully brown all winter finally get a pasting. Looks great for what appears to be the current pivot point up towards Tyndrum / Crianlarich

[Ross B]

Going pretty well now, we must've had about an inch of new snow since I got up which is properly sticking. 

[Ravelin]

I notice there's a RED warning covering London and the SE now, the apocalypse has arrived (or likely that's how the media will portrait it).

Hopefully it stays on longer than forecast

Radar suggests the front clearing from here now. Still snowing lightly. I expected it to turn to rain before it cleared. Only a light slushy covering really! Must have been 2hr+ of rain/sleet before anything started to settle.

Given what was forecast less than 24hrs ago it has to be filed as 'dissapointing'

If the Met Office forecast of 4c is to be believed this won't survive until 10am!

Steady moderate snow, about 1.5cm. No wind, currently -0.8c after a frosty night low of -1.5c.

[jellybaby1969]

We were forecast to have 40mph gusts at this time...it's very calm just now. 

[Hawesy]

Good to see some get snow!

Foul here in the East Neuk, wet and windy. Temp 3.4c/2.8c.

[mistyqueen]

Dry, calm and light cloud with no precipitation whatever! 2.1c. If it stays like this today I'll be happy with that! Enjoy the white stuff those of you who get it!

[JamesM]

Moderate snow here but we are on the very southern edge of the band. Looks like I’m just in the wrong place.

Ooft try living in Irvine about 30ft above sea level n about 800 metres to the beach. Grifter you are practically in the mountains !

I used to frequent down Ardrossan way, I know that disappointment of mild muck when everyone is getting a pasting! Much the same here on the Firth of Clyde we're the snow shield of choice!

Yeah we're right on the edge of the front now, some of the models had us sitting on the edge for a few hours while it pivots but we may just miss that - who knows. 

[snowidea]

Trying hard to turn white here, very fine flakes just now. 

[Falkirk Snow]

Quite heavy snaw coming down here in Caldercruix maybe an inch lying on the ground. Think it will go off soon though

[DR(S)NO]

Quite snowy here this morning. Wet snow sticking on the windows too.

Come join me and @Hawesy we are masters of the so near yet so far setups

Snow is off looks like the front has now cleared north

Well I was excited to wake and see very intense snowfall, I thought this was to last till about 11 to 12 so a bit deflated to see the comments on here about clearing soon and to see how many have sleet. My excitement now passing but still so nice to wake and see intense snow and a beautiful snow filled sky. 

[Allyw12]

Morning all 

All white here in Perth, only started to settle in the last hour

[Cheggers]

Was up at 5 and as expected nothing but drizzle, then 1 hour later....

[101_North]

Front has cleared and the sun is out! Whatever has fallen will surely disappear quickly now! 

Maybe some sleet to look forward to later via the Met forecast

[Stormeh]

Not bad considering I thought it would rain

[JamesM]

A wet covering but the front has passed here now. It went about 50 or 60 miles too far north for me!  
 

Looking very snowy north of the Central Belt on the traffic cameras.

[Hairy Celt]

Dry, 0C and still frosty. Supposed to be heavy sleet....

[A Winter's Tale]

A slushy covering here as expected. It’s a pity the front couldn’t be 20 or 30 miles further south.
