  3. Well this was the view from the front/back windows earlier this morning...another pathetic dusting! Cancelled my plan of climbing Strone Hill (385 meters) and instead took my son up our local hill behind the house. (98 meters) A fairly decent covering of 4/5 cm’s on the grass and a glorious walk around! Bring on the Spring warmth now please!

  10. Wow that's EMPHATIC support..!!..it's disappointing that the winter total fail has spilled into spring but I guess it's par for the course where uk coldies are concerned, however, I don't think anyone would really be unhappy about warm anticyclonic weather..I hope this verifies!!

  11. Very strong signal for the high pressure to dominate for quite a while here on the GEFS 12z mean, T240 but still 1030 hPa over UK

  12. Been snowing here all day but only really a wet covering, with us being just above the snow line. Trip to and from Inverurie revealed some strange variations in snow cover. Snowing in Inverurie but not lying, lying in and either side of Kemnay, then goes green for a bit, then snowy at tillyfourie, then green again through Alford, and finally back to white just before our house.

  15. Snowing here now at sea level in Broughty Ferry. Not lying - not because ‘the ground is too wet’ but because the wet bulb temperature is too high!

  18. Still hammering down here at the airport. Roads clear but settling on the grass easily enough. Looks like hitting the low 20c's in Seattle next week so looking forward to some warmth

  23. Snowing lightly here too, a bit earlier than I expected. No real sign of it lying outside the house yet, but obvious signs of a light covering developing just a but further up the hill behind the house. Irrespective of what happens today, in two weeks time I'll be on my way here.... can you tell I'm getting excited?

  24. Monderising is over rated. It looks like East Renfrewshire Council are updating their street lights. Fair enough.They are replacing them with white light as opposed to warming orange glow which suits lampost snaw watching better. My lampost (I know it isn't mine but I'm attached to it ) is still orange but either side has been replaced. Our house is elevated so the lampost is at eye level when I look out the window. Nostalgia alert. First photo is from round about midnight on the 11th of March 2006.The snow was relentless. Most intense I've seen in almost 20 years of living here. Sasha (cat in the photo) spent the last 5 of her 21 years with us. Loved that old timer. My father threatened to go out (we was 86 at the time) and get cigarettes so we traveled the next day into the city centre to get him his smokes. Took this photo near Glasgow School of Art on a very slippery hill looking down towards Sauchiehall Street. I predict that tomorrow will be wet sleety crap for Glasgow. It can snow heavily in March.Hope Those north of the central belt have fun!

  25. A new version of the v8 radar is going to be available soon (initially as a beta product) to Extra subscribers. We've been hard at work with a variety of additions and improvements, including: Fullscreen radar option Improved controls Upgraded precipitation type display with improved detection and additional precipitation types Virtual weather stations Upgraded weather station overlays Rain and snow notifications (optional) Upgraded future-radar Upgraded lightning display Multiple postcode markers and zooms Some screenshots of a few of the features - they are from earlier versions so will have changes/updates in the beta. New weather station overlays: Virtual weather stations, on radar display of a station (you can setup multiple locations) Your stations will also store historic data which you can view: We hope to have the beta version available shortly

  28. Excellent news that high pressure will begin to have a stronger influence on our weather next week. I'm not even bothered about temperatures, just calm and potentially sunny weather will be very welcome following the wild weather we've had over the past week or so.

  29. Interesting (if slightly concerning) article by Iain Cameron about the disappearance of Cairngorms snow patches for two consecutive years, and whether this might be indicative of changes in Scotland’s climate. https://t.co/4gfJXqjVNg

  30. Over this side it is varying between sleet and wet snow with a smirr of wet slush on some surfaces. Haven’t been out yet as it is pretty miserable but a bit higher up such as somewhere like St Mary’s for example I wouldn’t be surprised to see a covering. Judging by Inveralmond Edo should have some snow by now if he is home.

  37. Huge temperature contrast today. Midday - 10c in Dumfries and still 9c at Abington. However about Lesmahagow temp fell to 3c. No real snow until Cumbernauld on the M80. Drove through a lot of sludge in Fife, currently near Cupar. Cold, damp with the sludge of earlier slowly melting. Bit of a waste but nice to see I suppose. Hopefully last of the winter, bring on some dry warmth.

  41. The final 2 weeks of March are looking much more settled that obviously means a greater risk of frosts where skies clear overnight but by day it will be feeling more like spring once more

  45. Everything turning white. Settling on hard surfaces now. Roads clear atm as the council were up early doors flinging their muck about! Taxi to airport in 50mins - typical I'll miss it as this could easily be the heaviest fall all season if it continues! Edit: Settling on the roads now!

  46. Outlook - put simplistically upper troughs will move east over the weekend allowing the subtropical high to amplify in the eastern Atlantic. The configuration of the resulting surface high cell over the UK is rather dependent on the how the ensuing battle between this and the energy crossing the Atlantic pans out. The Atlantic 500nb and surface analysis for midnight and the 0500 surface chart The wave is currently over N. Ireland and deepening quite quickly as it tracks across the UK to be east of Aberdeen 975mb by 1800. The band of heavy rain, sleet and snow associated with the warm front is currently north of a line central Wales > Wash and this will continue to track north east through the day whilst at the same time the cold front will move south east from Ireland to be over Wales and the far south west of England by 1800. Snow in Scotland could be quite significant down to low levels in the quite marked temp N/S contrast. Some quite strong gusty winds accompanying all of this, particularly over Wales and the SW/S regions of England The rain belt associated with the cold front will continue south east during the evening clearing the Kent coast around 0300 leaving the country in a brisk, unstable north westerly with frequent wintry showers developing, particularly in western regions with Wales again in the firing line of the odd trough in the flow. Much colder generally with some frost around by Sunday morning. By midday Sunday the low is 967mb over southern Sweden with the UK still in the quite strong north westerly airstream thus a much cooler day with temps a tad below average with frequent wintry showers in northern and western regions which could include hail, snow and even thunder in the mix. Over Sunday night and through Monday the ridge does start to become established but there is a lot of energy exiting the eastern seaboard into the Atlantic and some frontal systems manage to ingress the north west bringing some cloud and patchy rain here with the rest of the country remaining dry. Over Tuesday and Wednesday the high tends to be suppressed over the south of the country but less so on Wednesday, with any fronts either, dissipating as the manage to track south, or return north again. Thus cloud and some patchy rain in the North on Tuesday but confined to the far north on Wednesday which will be generally dry and quite sunny with temps on the rise over the two days and above average

  47. Storm currently 986mb of Irish coast.. expected to deepen a lot further.. It has also slowed right down which would tie in with the high winds stick around much of the day ... Current live wind gusts: Gusting 30mph inland and 40mph on coasts currently.. nothing unusual Also mentioned on convective weather UK is the potential for another squall line much later in the day as the cold front associated with this system sinks south.. This could mix down some very strong winds briefly.. I looked back over last Sunday and the max gust recorded inland was at Heathrow when the Thunderstorm moved through... 97KMH which equates to roughly 60mph..
