Might as well join in. Tesco cancelled my shopping the day due the snaw. Just been tae Inverurie tae collect. Just in time it seems.

I would say its got a hint of moving east in it... your definitely getting clobbered and more than once tonight too...

January 17

So ive been tracking this massive blob of really heavy snaw for the last 30 mins and its lined up perfectly and getting bigger as it heads to my house... but im 100% sure it wont hit.. it will indeed split as it exits Huntly and i will get a few flakes.. ive seen it happen often..

The Facebook Deeside weather chap with all the weather stations dotted around Aberdeenshire is going for as much as 40cm of additional fresh snow by Friday morning. Might be optimistic I think but would be nice on top of the existing deep cover.

To be fair the radar does look full and it all looks very very heavy... i suspect @Scottish-Irish Skier will be posting soon with some reports of Blizzards..

@Klippie has been typing for over 30 mins now.... must be some post.

Some amount of snow showing on radar for further north. Wind seems to coming straight from North now. Hopefully we will see a few showers over night. Certainly an interesting few hours radar/lampost watching

Schools closed again tomorrow....

January 17

The radar is building nicely to the North... @Halfamilefromnowhere and @Hairy Celt must be sick o this snaw they been getting..

January 17

I think the wind is switching to more of a northerly. I think it could be quite a snowy evening here.

See now you have gone and got my hopes up even more....

January 17

Im still not 100% on this snaw dor tonight.. just cant see it happening as all the precipitation just keeps dying out as it come onto land...

i will happily be proven wrong..

January 17

Good to see @Big Innes Madori hope all is well with you pal...

January 17

The BBC has mr down for 17 hours of snaw showers heavy at times from 6pm...

Do i believe it... nope not untill i see it..

School closed for 3rd straight day here too..

-5 c a moment ago and it felt it while i fetched firewood

January 16

Well the radar hasn't done what i thought it would do.

So im off to my pit for the night.. see you all in the morning..

Night night dont let the bed bugs bite

Well this disnae look mild. Uppers struggling tae get out of the -5 to 0 C range, with increasing signs of return tae proper cauld just a week after this spell ends.

Thats a week to get out and get stocked up again ready for the next load...

January 16

Very heavy snaw on again here.. there is a gap on the radar but looks to be some extremely showers out to the North West... will they be the ones that prompt an Amber warning later??

Jealous as all hell here. Just ootside Jedburgh and not a sausage, nevermind a snowflake

I've got sausage casserole and its snawing...

January 16

@johncam a qucik video, it looks a lot heavier in real life.. video doesn't show it...

January 16

Blizzard conditions here now.. probably heaviest snaw of the spell so far...wow..

January 16

Heavy snaw on here now.. this must be the heavy shower the met were talking about earlier...

January 16

It could snaw like this for a week and we might get a dusting, does look like the heavier stuff has gone south of me. Maybe its the showers following later that are meant to give me another 5cm to 10cm...

January 16

As @Scottish-Irish Skier has said the lightest of snaw has just starting falling here...

The road through the village is all slushy and i can see that turning into a dangerous ice rink as soon as the sun goes down and the temperature drops..

January 16

A nice cold dog walk this morning.

The radar looks full of snaw and its slowly heading this way. Will there be anything left in it by the time it reaches my house... looks like we will find out in a few hours....

January 16

I know everybody in here loves a pic of snaw on a patio table... so here is mine.. this is in a sheltered part of the garden.

January 16

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..

Even in recent years we've had sub minus 20 locally here I'm sure? I've got a photo somewhere of the temperature gauge in the pickup that I bought in 2020 reading minus 19.5 outside the house during the daytime. I seem to remember others on here posting similar.

Think it was 11th Feb 2021 Alford recorded -23.3 in the morning.. @Sceptical would know best as he is always the one with the car dashboard pictures when its cold..
