Roads inland still quite bad. Lorries stuck heading out of Kenmore to Aberfeldy and the Gatehouse nursery just South of Aberfeldy just now.

Mum reporting winds not too bad for her in St Ives. 

[Dundeeguy]

Been snowing here consistently for over an hour and still not lying due to this mornings rain, looks like tayside and Grampian getting it for next few hours though 

[Penicuikblizzard]

Snowing again here but not lying

[Hairy Celt]

Thought I'd see how the storm's going by having a look at the Eunice thread. Wish I hadn't bothered and I don't recommend it unless you like reading 8 year-olds bickering.

We now have drizzle... ah well, time for lunch maybe.

Maybe some slizzle mixed in?

Temp dropped from 3.1C to 1.2C in the last 20 minutes and light, now moderate snow is falling. Radar showing stuff perking to the west of the central belt and incoming. Ooooo.

Snow hammering down here but the local wet baws are not for playing ball! 

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

The flakes start to fall here

Forecast is for the level to drop as the afternoon wears on hopefully there is still enough precipitation about by then to give us a covering. Most of this mornings snow has now melted here

Same here. All gone. Fingers crossed for later

Absolutely belting down here, just keeps on getting heavier... had some fun in the garden with the kids.

If this is all the snaw we get this winter it will be fine with me. I dont want weeks on end of snaw and freezing temperatures.. a few days here and there and maybe 3 or 4 days at once is good enough for me

[Ravelin]

Up to 17cm from the 15cm earlier where I measured on the driveway, but it seems to be softening and compacting despite the temp hovering around freezing all day so far. Wind up a little so some small drifts, and there's 20cm on the BBQ 'Gazebo' out the back, but only around 10cm on the grass. Still going, but less intense.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Snaw oan again here, but everything a bit wet looking, so needs tae put mair effort in if it's gonnae stick.

Fair blawin a hoolie tae.

[Penicuikblizzard]

Back to sleety pish which is surprising considering the elevation

Yeah. Foul day. Nothing happening in these parts any time soon! 

[Mair Snaw]

Kind of fizzled out a bit here now.. very fine snaw and temperature must have gone up a bit as the dripping has started too... could be a cold night coming up once the cloud clears later....

Aye those wet baws at it again. Troublemakers...

We got up to 5c here this morning but dropped back to 3c now. Still to see a flake of snow though!

[Snowandrocks]

Still snowing steadily here, oddly still not a breath of wind - the friend I visited for the caravan over in Cushnie says it's starting to blow in so maybe the wind isn't too far away! 

[Quinach]

Snow continuing unabated but intensity definitely dropping.

Temperature rising as the lovely fluffy flakes from the morning now changed to mainly granular snow; currently 0.8c.

Lying snow now wet, good for snowmen though!

Shed roof now up to 10cm depth but definite compaction going on.

Lying snow having an effect over by Westhill...

 

[Hairy Celt]

Still the odd slightly snowy burst passing through but it's defaulted to good old littoral pish now. What a joyful sight.

Feel like driving over there to test the new all seasons. Cannae believe it's late February and I've still not had a chance to drive on decent snaw.

Still. It's trying its best oot and starting to lie again. Might yet get something approximating a covering!

That's not a hill, coming up from the roundabout anyway, it's not much more than a 'rise'.

At least it vindicates the decision last night to close my school. Not that it's made much difference to me, been sat in front of the PC all day doing work stuff.

[101_North]

Absolutely foul afternoon. Just damp and cold with occasional sleety pish. Awful. 

[Mair Snaw]

Heaviest snaw of the day is on now, really big flakes again too now..❄❄❄???

[shuggee]

Despite it being 0.4C it's barely lying in wet ice patches on grass only... The baws ain't playing here today either at this asl.
