No snow here overnight. Wasn't really expecting any after yesterday's massive let down! Nice bright morning though! GFS and Met automated suggest it turning wintry again on Sunday evening but I think I've had my fill of sleet and slushy crud! GFS has a decent snow risk for Thursday but too far away to think about!

Definite top up on the driveway overnight but only a cm or so by the looks of it. Lovely blue sky winter morning with the sun coming up and a current temperature of -0.9C. The garden looking laden.... 

[Kayemill]

We managed a wee covering overnight. 

[Mair Snaw]

A little bit of snaw around 5am.. a beautiful winters morning. Looks cold out so gonna stay in a hug a radiator ❄❄❄

[Ruzzi]

Well sure enough we did get snow on and of during the night, albeit it mostly melted between the showers. Heavy shower at half 5 left another covering before I headed out to work.

We had a pretty thin dusting at around 7 o'clock that's since sublimed / melted. However the hill behind looks white still..

[Stormchaser17]

Light veil of snow during the night in Stornoway, well frozen at sunrise with min temperature of -1.1°C.

Cyclone is deepening SE of Iceland in these hours now, the WRF is seeing a possible strong event for late Sunday/early Monday.

Couple of inches this morning, now gone. That's the most I've seen since I moved here.

[Kayemill]

Heavy rain here now. 

[Northernlights]

Fabulous  sunny frosty start to the day with a dusting of fresh Some photos from yesterday at neeps and the hills round the Firth this morning with Wyvis looking well covered.

Beautiful day on Deeside with wall to wall blue sky after waking to the lightest of sprinklings of snow showing on the cleared paths from yesterday. Overnight low of -0.8c, currently 4.9c.

Local council installed solar panels on their remaining housing stock last year and the local Facebook group is reporting complaints of a new sort - folk leaving their houses and the closing of the door is enough to tempt the snow off their roof, narrowly missing them but apparently taking out tv aerials and satellite dishes on the way down. Now making calls for the council to install snow boards on their roofs. Some folk are never happy!

There's a rude joke potential there but I'll no risk it

I might be wrong but I'm sure that was a non-event here and subsequently wiped from memory

[Northernlights]

Frosty in the shade all day so a good bit of snow cover left. Excuse the double photos above as posted outside  from phone with numb fingers. Still sunny and 3c

[Stormchaser17]

From the Suomi NPP satellite this afternoon, quite the view! 

[shuggee]

Yeah we were snowed in for three days as they shut the A road. Folk at the office in Edinburgh thought we were taking the mickey as there were just sunny skies in the city. And it was before homeworking! Happy days. 

Snow line at 250m - beautifully illustrated:

Wind rising temperature 1c and a snow shower incoming on radar.  Winter hanging on.

Some great photos that have appeared on here today. We missed the snow here on Friday but good inch of so this morning.  I had to travel down the A9 Friday morning which was a fun drive. Managed ok except for being stuck in stationary traffic A9 south just below Perth for over 2 hours grrr.

Timed it right further south as winds had died down. Pics from just north and south of the usual suspect Dalwhinnie Friday around 10am

 

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Driving back up today in glorious blue skies and deep snow.

[Hairy Celt]

We got out for a walk round the hill in the middle of the day, when the temp was mostly just above freezing...

  I keep calling these Snowbells! 

   Nice clouds

  Here it was still freezing but the wind had been blowing the finest stuff around  

   And looking sort of south to the Hill of Fortrose  

The best we've had all winter!

I see i’m not the only one in this thread who was out enjoying the sunshine today. People were skiing down from Green Lowther today, sadly was off nightshift otherwise would have gone on more of a trek.

The dogs enjoyed it, was the youngest gun dog’s first taste of proper snow and the old collie lead the way. 2 people flew overhead on a microlight which looked brilliant

Thank you! She’s nearly 16 so doing very well and I will cry when the time comes. Not usually fussed by humans going but animals are a weak spot (The difference a camera makes versus phone is really quite noticeable)
