Some very light flurries here in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. Was suspecting that it might come as rain or sleet since the temperature had risen but it’s definitely snow and the wind is picking up a bit too.

Really? I'm just a bit further south than you and any lying snow is melting now and its a bit drizzly. It's washing the salt I had down on my path away lol.

The bbc have me down for snaw from 1pm to 8pm from the North West... i cant see that as being correct... 

Looking at the radar it is moving this way but i feel the hills will take most of it..

@101_North radar showing pink in your general area.. i know you love frontal snaw so maybe this could be your time..

you might make it.. not sure about this side of Bennachie (Kemnay) but I can see it lurking! 4 hours clearing yesterdays deluge, thankfully it stayed off long enough to get that done.. was very pretty this morning though wasn't it, I measure 20cm at one point but after yesterdays winds who knows qhich bit was the right bit to measure.. it was a heaps though. It's certainly been a nowcasting event though hasn't it

Typically the grit lorry was supposed to come up and fill the grit bin yesterday, but they never made it up oor hill.. the joys :D

It’s stopped now so will see how it falls in the next shower. I am about 100 metres above sea level so don’t know if that makes any difference.

Is there another band heading in ? All I can see is this low moving away. They must be expecting more or possibly just another poor  show from the met office.

added.. it's gotten over the hills and made it back here! @Mair Snaw  very very lightly, but wasn't expecting any more until about tea-time according the metoffice

Looks like there's a blob heading in but I wouldn't be confident it's snow here,maybe sleet.

Yeah but they made a video an hour ago talking about snow heading south east later and might need to up there warning to amber. 

 

[Sanserit]

No ice day at home, my station showing temp has risen to 0.3C with DP of -0.9c.

Nearest weather station to my work is showing current temp of 0.0c and DP of -2.6c. We have very fine grains/flakes falling lightly too so fingers crossed there’s something more substantial at home.

Ah ok, interesting. Well it's definitely raining here now , just came on quite heavily. Total bust for snow today.

[jellybaby1969]

mild sector light rain showers here

[JamesM]

Rain and occasional sleety pish here. Going to be an ice rink when this clears through later. 

[johncam]

A few spots of rain on car window,  what a dissapointment this has been. Met need to look at themselves here.

[NorthYorksWeather]

Taken refuge for a cold pint at the Old Bridge Inn at Aviemore. Coming down steady probably 3-4cm so far. Car showing -2°C

Snaw went off about 35 minutes ago. That's the longest spell of snaw up here I remeber seeing for a while! Honest, I will try and get some piccies posted! 

[aggy]

1oc and rain  

Maby sleet we had light snow earlier on 

[Mr T]

Snowing in Aboyne. Light at the moment. Moving east. Might get a little top up from this during the next few hours. 

[Cheggers]

Just arrived a Perth Airport and not a flake to be seen, but 5 gritters passed either way on A9 and A90

[Snowlover2]

lol 

I think this is caused by me begging the snow gods to avoid Fife, simply because I’m working I’m so sorry. 
 

 

[jon_d1983]

Very light snow starting to fall in BOD. 0°c it says on the car

[Kayemill]

Very heavy rain here in Monkton.

[GoldenJackel]

Light snow on here now, not sure what to make of this band as it’s movement seems quite unusual.

[Wee County Exile]

Light snow started in westhill - well ahead of the 6.00pm met office prediction. 
Maybe another top up today !

[Ravelin]

Unsurprisingly given the reports from all around, it's now also started snowing very gently in Westhill too. Hypnotic stuff.

Cue an hour and more of "are we going to get sent home?". That's just from the staff, the school kids will be even worse.
