Odd flurries today but hard frost not relenting, later this afternoon bitter NW wind  setting in which has started gentle drifts to appear. Snow plough came through this afternoon they are earning their salt.. this week. About 4 inches fresh snow last night,  a lot of showers skirting to our Ne

Not sure how reliable ICON is for precipitation but does show something for large part of Scotland on Friday. More of a nudge south meaning snow further south into central belt and down towards Ayr. Tracks further east too bringing Perth/Fife into firing line towards lunchtime Friday. North of central belt looks to be the place on this run. 

ARPEGE looking good too, pushes the front further east also. 

It would be typical of my location after days around freezing nighties down to minus 10..that I would see rain..couldny make it up !!

So....just for fun! Let's merge the UKV image posted by @lorenzo with a Google maps image of my location!

Guess where the sleety pish spot is  

[Eastern Scotland WX]

Less than a desirable UKV 15z for those who live in and around the central belt 

[Snowandrocks]

As expected Fubar news (the Aberdeenshire local FB page) is full of reports of roads blocked or barely passable by drifting snow. It's not even really snowing yet either with quite a lot showing up to the north on the radar. 

[Mair Snaw]

Well bbc has me down for a few snaw showers friday followed by sleet and rain overnight... but heavy snaw in warmer conditions on Sunday..

[Northernlights]

A couple of photos of snow showers to the north and east this afternoon

 

 

 

One here of the farm road very reminicent  of December 2010 snow not as deep as then.

Currently -2c with a strong wind getting and lying snow beginning  to drift

Had a job in West Linton today, on the A720 the van was showing 0c. Got to the car and van was showing -9.. finished a few hours later and it was -11..  why was it so cold there?

Blowing and snowing here.

Well that is a week now of lying snow, so definitely a memorable event - kids off school today so a fraught one trying to get them to do homework 

Temperatures now at their highest for a number of days at just below freezing (-0.5c) - maybe the Met Office forecast for sleet overnight may actually have some truth behind it!

Still seems strange though to have warmer weather coming in from the north.

During day hovering around -2c with a strengthening NNW wind.

Surely any sleet would be on the immediate coast.  I think you'll keep the snow.

What a bonny day (looking out that is) and as always neighbours come together to clear private roads 

gotta love Snow for bringing people together x

[aggy]

Where is all my snaw on Friday went ? Snow for 9 hours earlier now forecast rain showers

Was -17C Monday am.

And it's all because Borders is an anagram of 'does brr'.

Sorry. Taxi for shuggee.

@Hawesy looks like even you might have a winter wonderland Friday ?

 

Must be a lot of snow to share around if even the east neuk gets some!!!

 I’d be amazed if that happens. I expect it will stay dry here. Or some drizzle in the wind.

Cold again today but little temperature variation. Max was 0.6c and min -1.5c. Felt colder in the notable breeze though.

Snowing again Aberdeen according to my daughter. Quite heavy flakes blowing in the wind. Clear and frosty here. Northerly winds

[Sceptical]

High winds and heavy snow causing problems on the roads. The video doesn't quite capture conditions at present:

If the high winds continue overnight, there should be some impressive drifting along the Sauchen straight road. If the coast is clear, I will try and film it

Well, this is a bit more interesting than most recent starts to winter, isn't it?

In the absence of anything to say that you don't already know, I thought I'd post from photos I took on Sunday, from a walk near Lesmahagow, of the famous Lanarkshire alpenglow. 

 

Who's Frida? Another one of these named storms? A visitor from Scandinavia?

Before I forget - special good photos there. Be good to see more if you're out again.

Not quite as cold so far this evening at -3c. There's a bit of a breeze though so it feels colder than anything so far this week

[Northernlights]

Steady snow on again at -1c and a bit of a breeze blowing   it  around  a bit.

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Heavy snow earlier this evening but now temperatures have risen above freezing just, a few drips here and there. But more a wet look to the large flakes. Also the ( thankfully) small spider has popped out by the sink usually a sure sign of rain, may have to squish him if he is right..
