I can see the new 'insightful' sticker being abused... sarcastically!

What about a laughing face one?

Yay!! New page.

Just for the record, I was using it in a genuine way on here since I noticed it existed

Evening all, the air was noticeably colder at lunchtime when I nipped across to the shop to pick up my lunch. Edited because I pushed post too early

Looking forward to the colder weather that’s forecast even tho it means I’ll need to use my inhaler more (legacy of that damn virus). My weather station temperature graph looks worse than a Tour de France mountain stage altitude graph today.

[Eastern Scotland WX]

to sum the next 7 days up for snow risks in Scotland:

>The north are guaranteed snowfall and several centimetres to lower levels here with significant more over high ground.
> The central belt/Tayside/SE Scotland have the lowest general risk of snow but sky high potential of some really severe snowfalls is set up is just right. 
> The west will see some snow showers at times but significant snow very unlikely.

Very icy start this morning, even gates frozen shut. Max of 1.8C today with rain showers now falling on earlier frost. Ben More Assynt looking a picture this morning

I know there’s been regular slow moving convoys heading north from Inverurie each evening Bein notified on Northsound’s travel reports. Not sure if that would be linked or not?

GFS 18Z brings the heavier precip down the western side of the country on Wed night (after its given the North a good dollop) , there's still a warm sector to worry about though. 

A good dumping for much of the country Sunday into Monday coming from the east too.... 

Monday rush hour... (FI warning tho!)

Potential shift to easterly winds as early as Sunday going by the GFS 18z run, might give us better chance of snow piling in.

Temperatures really struggling for us lot up here for very least next 7 days either way, struggling to get above freezing with that.

Why would we delete this? Presume it is something military being transported under heavily armed guard which has now reached wherever it was going?

[Mair Snaw]

Pub run.. well lets just say its had a few too many shandies tonight.. its showing snaw for Perth so it must be pi55ed... after the last few weeks of constant rain and dull dank rubbish i will be more than happy to take 4 or 5 days or dry sunny cold weather.. a dusting of snaw should it come will do for me...

[Sanserit]

Just had a search through the group posts as I hadn’t see one of my favourite contributors posting since I came back here after taking some time away over the fairer months and am saddened to read the news about @Puffy MacCloud from earlier this year. RIP David, I suspect your good humour will be missed in here for a long time to come.

[edo]

gutted to hear about puffy aswell......  the 18z on all sorts of drugs tonight.....all roads remain pointing to cold and with a variety of directions at different times bringing chances of snow  with my favourite being the switch to an easterly come late Sunday Monday

The snow charts just for fun but like the look of that dammmmmmmmmmmmmm girl

Aye likely  

This setup means business for the forseeable 

[mardatha]

Won't get excited, doon here we don't seem to have weather at all.

I too would love to know what's in them lorries..just cos I'm nosy.

Getting ready for the major news trumpeting Snowmageddon when England gets 3 cms.

Puffy's daughter came to see me and handed in his precious weather station - he had left instructions for her to give us it. She was lovely and gave me a wee card about his life etc that they had used at the funeral. Quite an impressive man, we were lucky to know him Kilties.

How lovely. I’d missed the news too. Very sad, his wit and humour were a cut above.

A health warning: as the Met O forecast today shows it’s not going to be cold enough for snow at low levels throughout. We’ll need reinforcing shots of cold air and our favourite words ‘marginal’ and ‘wet baws’ are likely to crop up frequently in the next week. Just adds to the excitement of course 

[Ross B]

The overnight runs appear to have mostly killed off the chance of snow on Wednesday night for those further south... winters over!

I'm not seeing much support for the winds turning easterly on Sun/Mon either now! Looking like blue sky and cold which, apart from the heating bill, I'll take over the damp, grey pish we've endured for days now

Model thread few days ago.

Mod thread yesterday 

Mod thread by the weekend?

Snow in upper Tweeddale this morning - a 'dusting'. Which of course, is inbetween 1cm and a 'smattering'. Third air frost down to -1.1C. 

[Kayemill]

We had a dusting on top of the frost here this morning also.

[JamesM]

Pretty hard frost this morning. Cold, crisp and sunny. Having been waiting an age for some dry weather we’ve currently got a roofer on our frost covered roof! What could possibly go wrong!?

Not expecting snow here in the current set up, but nice to have a bit cold.

[101_North]

Dusting on the highest parts of the Pentlands too this morning.
