Thunder graupel in North Edinburgh.

Even had a wee dusting, down by the Forth.

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.

More snow by the Forth than at my house. Warming up now.

Even a dusting of snow in North Edinburgh near the Forth

Very little rain in Edinburgh. Took a wee walk down to Granton Harbour.

About 10 minutes ago, had the oddest gust of wind in Edinburgh. Only lasted a few seconds, but totally rattled the double glazing and blew some stuff off the wall in a room with an open window.

Not quite as warm as today, with possibility of rain/thunder storm in the afternoon

Yep the thunder just drowned out the sound of the Proclaimers playing on Leith Links

So the temp is due to rise to 10c by lunchtime tomorrow? and then stay there past midnight? and then drop to 0c by about 3pm Monday? With an f tonne of rain/snow for the start of the week?

Light snow down at Forth level. Wind is picking up too.

It's like a snow inversion around the Forth. On my usual dog walk by the water, saw that Inchkeith, in the middle of the Forth, was covered in snow.

North Edinburgh lamppost streamer a few minutes ago.

And suddenly in North (in the yellow warning for once) Edinburgh, it's getting cloudy

You may need to leave extra time for getting to Edinburgh by road. Not weather related, but there's temporary traffic lights on A90, Queensferry Road, which got stuck on red.
