There were tiny hints of more here but it quickly disappeared and another disappointing event snow-wise. Looks like yet another dismal winter.

Just before 10 on Sunday evening was the most violent gust we had. Collapsed our fence on top of both the cars (fortunately minimal damage). Untitled video - Made with Clipchamp (3).mp4

Sadly the usual for us. Virtually every promised snowfall ends up in disappointment. The Lanarkshire snowshield/thundershield strikes again!

Forecasting I know can be difficult at times but to me that's wildly wrong this morning.

Shudders....-)

Crisp, clear morning in Motherwell. Hoping for a 2010 style event tomorrow, expecting a regular one however given we just don't seem to get much luck with these......

The model output chat. Interesting stuff

Needless to say my 12-year-old son is quite keen for a real dumping of snow what with school on the Tuesday -). Would be nice have to say and does look promising.

Tell you what, that'd be nice...........

Normally the case I agree, though I recall the great dumping we got in November 2010 happened with a front which moved North-South over Scotland. Remember it well, got into work at 8.30 not a drop of snow and by mid-day the snow was quite deep. This pic was on the journey home from Ravenscraig to Motherwell (via Bellshill) and took about 6 hours! Only had 3-4 hours snow but was utter chaos.

This looks promising for a white Christmas. Know it's a bit off verifying but there seems to be a bit of momentum gathering.

Models seem to be aligning towards low 70s here next weekend. That'd be something else for early-mid October.

From last night looking West/South West to what was going on over Northern Ireland. I know they had some interesting downpours.

Not long after the game was interrupted at Hampden we got our own cell overhead here in Motherwell. Couple of flashes of lightning, loud thunder, and torrential rain for a bit before the skies broke to a lovely sunset. 354434684_6153210994727784_1528953578877698230_n.mp4 354405191_6292888687468234_3018635233545472925_n.mp4

As was I. Once again, however, our thunder barrier was again very effective over the past few days once again..-)
