Now   have had 18 days where you have been able to walk on snow of some kind or other on the farm.Or in the words of an old farming neighbour a traditional December  where the snow comes and goes with some left to meet the new fall

Approximately 2 inches of snow this evening. Mountains over 2000 feet are expected to get 2 to 3 feet of fresh snow this coming week so ski resorts should be happy

Proper snaw here now

[Ravelin]

Snowing here too now from  a 'blob' coming from the NW. Currently 0.2C. 

[snowidea]

Snow, barely a sprinkling but snow. 

[Dundeeguy]

Just outside warning area for 1-4cm tomorrow but hopefully see something of sorts

Went a drive up to the north of Darvel to the south side of Whitelee Forrest. 

Car made it up some pretty stupid incline turns with summer Potenza’s on.  Hopefully get back up in the morning and go further up. It started to snow and got dark pretty quick so me, the boy and the dog legged it back down the hill

Nice photos! Loving the car also, I am a total Audi fan now, had my s3 for a year and absolutely love it

[Cheggers]

Just back fir the ice and proper snaw, nice wee dusting on all surfaces.

Borders are the best dogs and rightly grumpy about hats. Snow a bit heavier here now.

Decent snow shower here giving the place a dusting

I’m almost certain I’ve seen your car around Ayrshire. Very eye catching love it.

Borders are the best. 

[Hairy Celt]

The last shower fell as wet snow still, now freezing and everything is now glazing nicely. Bodes well for the morning's drive south... although looking at the radar, we could get snow falling here yet.  

[shuggee]

White over after a good 25min heavy shower and 0.5°C, so going to be pretty in the morning. Looks to be more shower activity this evening than expected? 

[SW Saltire]

A ‘smattering’ of snow here so 3rd of the winter. Some lethal heavy sleet fell for a while earlier on and that has now frozen.
 

An ice rink is the result, windscreen wipers frozen solid to the car etc.

Merry Christmas All!  We had some snow about 7.30pm that covered all surfaces.  We seem to have had more white Boxing Days recently here than Xmas Days.

[JamesM]

With a slushy mix at home, I headed up to higher ground with a walk around Whitelee this afternoon where there was a good covering of crispy snow. 

 

Everything was frozen here at 5pm and following a shower of snow, then rain, then snow again, everything is coated ice and now covered in a dusting of snow.

Question - Are there are all season/winter tyres that people on here would recommend? 
Roads today were pretty atrocious apparently, would be a good investment i’m thinking.

Put Pirelli Scorpion Zero all season tyres on the wife’s Volvo in the autumn and they seem very sure footed so far, although not had them in anything extreme yet. 
 

Best winter tyres I’ve found over the years were Firestone Winterhawks. Currently running a set of Kumho Wintercrafts on my Focus ST which are ok. Actually been on the car all year to be honest.

After couple inches of snow overnight last night, snow showers this morning became much heavier and prolonged this afternoon, continuing this evening. Several inches of fresh snow and it’s now snowing heavily again 10.30pm. It has been a most impressive December for snow.

[Northern Strath]

Spells of heavy snow blowing in through the day accumulating about 3 inches of fresh stuff. Currently clear and frosty -2.5c

[Northernlights]

-2c start to the day with frontal cloud coming in from the SW. Another snowy morning. I think this must be the snowiest December since 2010 here but only because the rest were so poor. We certainly feel we have had a winter this year.

Some current webcam images from the Isle of Lewis.December really has been good for snow…north of the border.

[Frozen Britain]

Snow has turned to rain here sadly with some sleet thrown in to the mix.....but snow still lying after it fell yesterday......big warm up for New Year forecast.....then maybe looking at a stratospheric warming (SSW) during January......though as ever still plenty of time for the computer models to back away from this scenario.....we shall see.....Belated Happy Xmas everyone.....

Currently -1C after an overnight low of -2.3C. Last night's 'blob' left a light covering of new snow, just enough to make it look wintry again but no real depth to it. Currently rather grey so just waiting to see what the weather front will bring when it reaches us. 

[edo]

a hard frost here and now a very light snow shower falling
