Scotland Weather discussion

[Norrance]

Much milder today here with a max of 15.3C from a min of 7.3C and mostly cloudy and windy. Currently some spits and spots in the wind at 11.3C. Going to be on the edge of cold and mild air in the next couple of days before the cold wins.

Edit . Rain later and a quite quick drop in temperature of 5C

Well looks like the snow has arrived back home, snap shot from the field cam

[Ravelin]

Light snow on here and a dusting of what looks like wet stuff on some surfaces, mainly the grass. So far it's not even close to the overnight fals last week. 

[Northernlights]

Light snow here too at 2c with a wet looking dusting..Fine day for a trip to Aberdeen hospital. Glad we are so up to date with sowing

[Ravelin]

Getting a bit heavier and beginning to turn whiter now. 

[Northern Strath]

What an absolute dog’s breakfast the forecast looks. Snowing as I left with a wee covering, as Rav alluded it’s currently no different to a lot of last week. Down in Inverness now and it’s light snow here

[Snowandrocks]

Snowing steadily here too, nothing dramatic but flat calm and quite atmospheric i guess. 

Also a good excuse to put off sorting out the remaining firewood pile. 

[Hairy Celt]

Sleet and snow just here but reports of whiteout and 15m drifts from up the hill 

[Puffy MacCloud]

Weather here is grey, damp, cold and dreich, so it's probably best that my grand tour of west Scotland health facilities has been cancelled due to an institutional covid outbreak preventing travel. Whether the outbreak is here, there or somewhere else isn't clear but I can see I've wasted that money on the Paul Murton hat.

[Northernlights]

Snowed all the way to Aberdeen at 0 to 1c.⁹9

[Quinach]

Entertaining driving conditions currently on the A944, Tillyfourie looking rather pretty.

Heavy wet snow falling since at least 06:30, quite a thaw at the same time so thickness only 1cm at home as temperature hovering between 0 and 1.5c. Calm conditions.

Now why can't we get hours of heavy snow like this in December and January!

[Ravelin]

Ehm, not stopped all morning and I'd say easily more than the 5cm the warning forecast. 

[Jo Farrow]

This from Rothiemay between Huntly/Keith/Turriff this morning

 

[Paul]

And yet not so far away here in Aviemore, it's rain all the way so far. So close!

Looks like it’s back to rain at least mid level on CairnGorm vs snow piling up at the Lecht!

We've definitely upset the snow gods for this to happen in April. Who can we sacrifice to appease them? Answers on an ICBM to the Kremlin...

[stewfox]

How often do you see that 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

An absolutely vile day in Glasgow. Really minging stuff. Has to happen sometime I guess.

[Norrance]

Dreich here too. No warmth like further West or snow like the NE but steady rain at 4C all day.

[Northernlights]

Turned to sleet wet snow in Aberdeen late afternoon as we left  at 3c but back to powder snow in the Glens of Foundland at 0.5c. Stayed as snow to Keith but was sleet at home at 3.5c. 10% of snow still lying at home from he morning fall. 

[Cheggers]

Not looking forward to my trek to Forres on Friday. One of my engineers sent this on his way back from Nairn

[Ravelin]

Not stopped snowing since around 6am here, making it maybe the most persistent snow of the winter. The Friday fall a few weeks back was deeper though as it was colder, this stuff has accumulated but not as much so as it's just a little too warm (as was the ground). Still a few cm of wetish snow on the grass though.

[Northern Strath]

Snowed in to the afternoon yesterday but only a couple of inches of rather wet stuff to show for it. Looks a more substantial bout overnight tonight. Ideally that will be the last of the white stuff, that recent high pressure spell of dry, sunny and mild would be welcome back for sure. 

[Puffy MacCloud]

The view from the ward window this morning includes a horizon line. Whoop whoop! Also my x-ray this morning appears to show a completely reinflated lung, which is fab news. Not all inflation is bad.

[Northernlights]

5c start to the day with a fresh west wind and overcast skies.Ground is just saturated. The remainder of crop to be sown is going to be late
