That would do  

[101_North]

That's a fair blob of precipitation heading towards Edinburgh. Somewhere inland towards Lanark maybe could do OK from that! Wet snow showers here but amounting to not very much at all.

[Big Gally]

This small feature keeps appearing just out west early hours of Saturday morning. Could be interesting through the central belt for a time.

Morning all,

1.1c currently with an overnight low of 0.7c. We obviously caught some beefy graupel showers as there’s a partially slushy partially frozen covering.

[Sceptical]

Snow overnight has covered the hard surfaces, temperature, according to the car -0.5c. Once clear of the Vale of Alford light rain and 1c.

Nice and seasonal looking this morning not a bad start to winter

Over the weekend should see the lowest temperatures of the season so far.

Best chance of seeing a white Xmas this year, according to the bookies, Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Snow line this side of the Pentlands looks to be about 200m, maybe slightly lower. Plenty of cars coming in from Balerno / Carnwath direction with plenty of snow on them. Just too exposed to the Forth on this occasion here.

View fae the hame office windae the day (lower pic obvs). And whit a bonny view it is. 

Wishing all my fellow kilters a happy St. Andrews day. May you all see some snaw! Or at least a nice frost with sunshine!

I think the biggest problem was the path of the showers. Last night they mostly came in from the northeast crossing the eastern side of Edinburgh and continuing south over Straiton/Penicuik area and further south. Currie/Balerno only managed to get on the edge of a few flurries as we needed a slightly more easterly flow to bring them this way.

Snow here at sea level this morning, and icy conditions with chaos on the A1 before 7am. Pretty shower just passed by. Our Guiding meeting of beach campfire and marshmallow toasting managed to miss the graupel. It was cruel in the wind up top, but a fair bit of shelter from the cliffs down at the beach. And the moon appeared

That's very true. I can remember a few NE'ly setups where the same thing has happened. Suspect that big blob I posted before going to bed was the culprit

Another wet sleety morning here very cold at   1c  Cows and calves smiling inside the folds.    Will be horrendous ice if this lot freezes tonight water pouring  across side roads from fields. Must have been heavy sleet all night.

[Northern Strath]

Prob 3 to 4 inches cover this morning with showers and an enjoyably snowy commute, particularly passing the reliably wintry Aultnaslanach stretch of the A9

That’s crazy considering you are just along the other end of the bypass

Looks like localised bands of showers

-5.6 here overnight. Just frost here, which is nice. 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Glorious wall to wall sunshine here. Beautiful start to winter, certainly makes up for the horrendous autumn.

[Klippie]

Great to see some snow pictures...

I was convinced I saw a snowflake the other day...but it could have been a brids feather blowing off the roof.

 

[mardatha]

Woke up to an orange sky then down it came! Not an awful lot but  first real snowfall of the year and it got heavier later on. Son said Soutra was slippy. EDIT - the snaw came down, not the sky. Yet.

I could see @Northernlights's rain/sleet/snow this morning - dark sky to the east, much brighter to the west.  Just grey, 3C, barely any wind, some light drizzle. Wonderful.

[Paul]

Glenmore was as wintry as expected this morning 

  

[Mair Snaw]

What an absolute pi55 take this shower is... i imagine @Scottish-Irish Skier is getting it all.. snaw thief

Model watching for next week, icon looking the best for cold lovers…potentially snow interest but long way off yet  

[Penicuikblizzard]

Just watched the white shower clouds moving away to my SE we can only have missed that one by a few miles where as last night we seemed to be in the prime position. The wind is to Northerly now to bring the showers far enough inland
