We don't get much snow here in Hampshire so I visit this forum for the beautiful pictures and views.Love football see you might play at the Munich stadium I was there on tour with our club.Saw Forest beat Malmo 1 0.Our 24 tickets were provided by the late great Brian Clough.He did a motivation seminar at one of the players companies and sorted things.Good luck with your national side.

love Brian Clough.... regularly bemuse the 10 year olds I coach as I quote him

 

don't make a good chance into a bad chance by trying to make it a great chance is my favourite

Just had a graupel shower here giving a thin new covering. First precipitation today.
My temp in back garden is showing -0.5C with a max of -0.3C though the car earlier varied between 0.5C and 3.5C

Shower on now is a mix of large snowflakes, some wetter stuff and small icy bits. Lying though on the frozen surfaces. Temp -0.6C All the local weather stations are showing sub zero so I wonder is there a milder layer above?

[Eastern Scotland WX]

Just had a really good half hour or so of snow here about 10 minutes SE of Perth. A good covering of snow now on the ground. Air temperature at -0.7C and more convection incoming could lead to a good evening of snowfall!

@Dundeeguygives me hope and now I am worried about a mild layer still seems to be about 0c here

Shower heading straight for my house and literally splits to go round me....

Man, I miss Dundee fir the snaw.  

[Mandy Langlands]

Sleet here in Carnoustie

[Cheggers]

Radar filling up out east. Nothing falling here yet.

[Aphelion]

As if it's not chilly enough, I'm off to Murrayfield to watch a women's ice hockey match. At the best of times, Murrayfield is the coldest rink I've been to.

sod it told the kids gonna snow here at 18.50 ..... pressure on 

[Hairy Celt]

We have very light snow falling almost vertically. Good job I look out the window occasionally cos the radar is ignoring this one completely.

Looking at the radar and the current direction of the ppn you've a better chance than here!

Bad news as definitely rain in the mix now as it has got lighter. Still showing -0.3C so up a notch in last half hour.

Norrance not sure about milder layer but having driven across Dundee and up through Angus about an hour ago, I noticed several temperature changes over short distances. At western edge of Dundee it was at -0.5 degrees then over central and eastern Dundee it rose up to +1.5 degrees and then north into Angus dropped to -2 degrees. Seems more like cold pools of air quickly ‘stirred’ out as breeze picks up as showers come through.

I am in the extreme West end of Dundee. Dry now but interesting to see what the next shower brings. Hoping it is of the white variety

Fantastic day in Aberdeenshire getting the the Cairnwell Munros ticked off the list (Cairnwell, Carn a’Gheoidh and Carn Aosda).

The most snow I saw was around the Cumbernauld area funnily enough. A93 was remarkably clear.

The lowest the car read was -9.5c just near the spittal of Glenshee.

Gloriously sunny and still day. Just enough snow to enjoy, the kind that you can kick with your boots. Pure powder.

A touch above freezing today but not much of a thaw. Away from the salt and well trodden ground, the snow cover remains intact. Grey, cloudy and pretty gloomy for much of the day. Felt really raw out and like a proper old school winters day. Great way to start the winter. Had virtually no snow here at all last winter, so hopefully we make up for that this year.

[Russsty]

Just a light drizzle in Stoney.
