After non-lying snow showers all morning, the ground in EK is now white - with hailstones. I thought March was supposed to go out 'like a lamb'!

This is all we've had here so far - but it's not really lying at all in Glasgow this evening, despite some heavy showers, so it's something!

Heavy snow in East Kilbride too at the moment - looking very wintry.

A decent covering in the higher parts of EK, but a bit of a slush-fest.

Looks like a period with a bit more potential wintriness coming up, with some potential shots of polar maritime air. http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=6464;sess=

Netweather's own February forecast is also going for Greenland HP towards the end of the month. http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=monthly;sess=

A rogue snow shower made it through here and left a slight dusting! Pity there's not more as it lay very readily.

Reporting Scotland weather bulletin just described it as a weaker feature than first thought, so looks a bit underwhelming. Some potential for northern and eastern areas, though.

Aye, snow cover is surviving well in rural South Lanarkshire. Nearly all gone here. Turned down an offer of a trip north today in favour of a 'short' local-ish walk in the Lowther Hills, but it was such a nice day I just kept on going!

Not as much snow as further west, I think, but still decent. WinterHighland is your best bet generally- it has links to various webcams and summaries of ski conditions.

The Met O now seems to be stressing snow more in its forecast for this evening. It has another yellow warning out, and says "a small area of low pressure is expected to move southeastwards and bring a more persistent spell of rain, sleet and snow to parts of western Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Midlands." Polar Low?

Snowing for the last half an hour or so in EK, although becoming a bit lighter now.

A big 'blob' seems to be moving south-east towards the Glasgow area on the radar.

Terrible photo, but it shows the midst of the very heavy recent shower here in Motherwell!

Scoring a direct hit from a blob on the radar at the moment!

Heaviest snow I've seen at this low altitude for a long time. A big milky white cloud just came in and enveloped the place.

Snow again here too.

Yep, a decent cover built up quite quickly in that last shower. Very light covering of snow in EK at the moment, but could be more showers incoming.

Heavy snow in EK, starting to lie a bit.

Heavy sleet shower in Motherwell at 3C, becoming more snow-like on the drive up to East Kilbride where the temperature was showing as 0.5C on the car thermometer during the shower. Some cars coming up the M74 with snow on them too. Seems reasonably promising for later.

There was quite a lot of snow from that event in the Glasgow area - enough for schools and workplaces to close early and the usual transport issues, but nothing too extreme (although I never went onto the high ground in those days!). Certainly one of the better snowfalls of the 90s in lower-lying parts of western Scotland though.

Not sure how severe the thaw will be - MWIS has freezing level above the summits on Sunday.

Tulloch Bridge down to -12.5C at 9am.

Tulloch Bridge (east of Fort William) sitting at -12.5C at 9am. That's the lowest one I could see on a quick scan through the usual suspects.

Well spotted! Probably not high-ranking in the tourist guides to Scotland but it all looks nice under snow.
