[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Only a couple of centimetres of fresh snow in Aberdeen fell overnight. In undisturbed areas we have been consistently sitting at around on average 4-7cm of snow since Monday morning. 
 

although not nearly as much snow as quite a few in here, I’m pretty happy overall despite last night under performing.

 

I imagine the snow melt will be off the charts over the next few days for us in the north.

Finally snowing heavy in Aberdeen city!

Hoping this holds strong and gives Aberdeen a nice fresh covering.

Are you not in Perth??

Blizzard conditions here again.. Radar looks mental..

I should say, I’m back in Aberdeen for university.

The way these snow showers are hitting Aberdeen feels personal . Skipping left and right while splitting as they approach the coast. Only have achieved a few little flurries. 

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

The snow showers struggling to do much as they approach Aberdeen. Hopefully for some better action later.

This afternoon’s snow took close to good hour to get really get going in Aberdeen. Overall a few hours of steady light to moderate snow with intensity ranging from 3/10 to a peak of 8/10. Averaged about a 5-6/10.

 

This brought about an additional 1-1.5cm probably. 
 

Been taking multiple measurements in the same several locations over the past couple days.

 

(Representative of Aberdeen city centre area) yesterday morning the snow depth was 5cm then that was up to 7cm yesterday 3pm, had more snow after that so probably 8cm yesterday evening. Was back to 5.5cm this morning and probably sitting 6-6.5cm currently.

 

heavy snow showers expected in Aberdeen Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

It’s been pretty mental here in Aberdeen. Been frequent heavy snow showers since yesterday evening and measured about 5-6cm at 0900-0930 this morning but easily been a couple centimetres more since.

Here are a couple of my snow watch maps for Sunday-Thursday.

Significant snow likely across northern Scotland, even down to sea level over the coming days.

Details can be found on the graphics.

Just had some very heavy snow move through. Up to around 3cm ish now. temperature still at -0.6C. More snow to come by the looks of it as well.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Just had a really good half hour or so of snow here about 10 minutes SE of Perth. A good covering of snow now on the ground. Air temperature at -0.7C and more convection incoming could lead to a good evening of snowfall!

[Scotland Weather discussion]

 

Saw this on the Abernethy facebook group today, suspect video was taken between 5-6pm. Funnels over Kinoull/Moncreiffe hill area. Can see the convergence coming together on the radar loop around this time as well.

Sorry I’ve not been on but it’s been crazy here in Florida. Wednesday, thunderstorms on arrival. Thursday, thunderstorms from very early afternoon through evening. Today we headed to Universal Orlando at 8am with the storms chasing us. Would have been really disappointing if we had not been before as all the outdoor attractions were closed due to the lightning. Seen some belters but as it’s our holiday that has to take priority over trying to catch it on film. Meant to calm down after tomorrow so looking good for @Ross B   

Been in Florida in summer as well and its not a particular good time of year for outdoor attractions as rides often shut due to thunderstorms.

Warmest day of the year here just to the SE of Perth where temperature has reached 26.0C.

Just grazing the city sadly about 5 miles east getting hit I'd say, a few flakes floating in the air. 

Just kinda like a flurry intensity here in N Aberdeen the last hour, enough to produce a light dusting

Been a couple months since I’ve been on here and gotta say that things are looking very interesting for N/NE Scotland for the next few days.

Windy with 30 minutes of snow. Amber warning seems OTT for these parts.  

 

I was quite surprised myself when I saw the Amber issued. Was never gonna be much of a show for Aberdeenshire. Snowing over Grampian but isn’t anything unusual about that. Aberdeen saw 4” with a yellow warning In December and well 0cm in an Amber for January . #CrapOffice

No more than a slushy dusting at village level but was a covering at 150m or so about 45 min ago. Took a lot of persistent wet snow for it to start settling a bit as temperatures hovered around 0.8-0.9C.

 

Top pic is up the hill 45 min ago , bottom is street level in Abernethy.

Trying to build a picture of yesterday's snow totals across the central swathe of Scotland by gathering snow reports and mapping them out. gathered some reports from this forum from yesterday but looking to gather more.

Hows it looking for snow on Sunday? The boy windy Wilson’s saying lots of it? Hows it looking over Perth way? 

Honestly it looks like maybe an hour of wet snow to low levels before turning to light rain and 7-8C. Not expecting much if any snow.  Most snow restricted to above 250m. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

This was the snow at its absolute peak intensity here not far from Perth. 3cm fell in the space of half an hour around the time of this video
