Snows back on.

 

Similar here, unsurprisingly. 

Got an automated phone message from SSEN earlier this evening saying that compensation payments for loss of power would be processed automatically as per OFGEM rules/rates and cheques sent to affected households. No mention of timescales.

Snaw is on an instant dusting has been delivered.. and looking at the radar plenty more of it coming in..

Meanwhile in the Mad house some are giving up before its even got going. ❄❄❄

A light snow shower has made its way down to here just now rather surprisingly. Been cold and mostly clear here today but with a keen Northerly wind this afternoon. The max of 8.6C was just after midnight with the temp between 3 and 4C  most of the day. Now 2C with a light Northerly breeze.

Facebook wanting to remind me of how it was 11 years ago to the day

Hurrah, power back on at 18:30.  

Then the boiler refused to start up (and earliest the engineer can look at it is Monday). 

You win and lose some....

Thankfully there's an immersion heater in the water tank and plenty of electric heaters and we've got used to sitting round in full winter garb anyway.

Talking of which, snow for an hour or so earlier this evening has turned everything nice and white.

Currently 0c and a bitter NW wind.

Glad you’ve finally been restored to the grid but shame about your boiler.

Left my friends house just before 10pm and was surprised by how much snow had fallen. It’ll no doubt be an interesting drive to work tomorrow

Yes we even saw some flakes down here in the East Neuk, twice in a week now!  1.3c currently.

Pretty decent snow shower here! Settling quickly.

Big clear bit now to our North/ NorthWest on the radar so I suspect that is it for now here. Precipitation showing over Aberdeen which my daughter tells me is now snow.

Definitely snowing at my lamppost in the city

[Mair Snaw]

The radar she lies i tell you she lies...im not staying up any longer to listen to her....

[Dundeeguy]

Nice snow shower for around 30 mins in Dundee around 10pm gave us an unexpected dusting, I’ve learned over past 2 winters how terrible Bbc and met office are, NetweatherStormRadar app super reliable 

[drm]

Heavy snow in Aberdeen now

[mardatha]

Snow on ootside me now. Didn't expect that! Got hairdresser in Kelso tomorrow so if the husband won't drive in it I'll not be pleased

[drm]

A 6am alarm call yet when it snows will happily watch it fall even at 2am. 

[Sceptical]

Aberdeenshire roads not great this morning.

That's good news, hopefully payments are swift and hassle free.

No more showers here overnight but last night's dusting has survived. 1c and hopefully a reasonable day coming up. 

[snowidea]

Ooh we've woken up to an unexpected dusting. Good start to winter so far. 

[Northern Strath]

About an inch of the white stuff and -3c to start, would be a nice scene for Christmas morning …  *inaudible prayers to weather gods accompanied by shamanic dancing

[Northernlights]

A dusting here too last two old grass fields ploughed yesterday and soil samples taken feels just like 2010 as the cold air arrives got the farm  fields put to bed for winter. Cold this morning some cloud breaks, calmer, 1c and a ground frost

Just had a wee snow shower there. Wet snow so not lying. Totally unexpected.
