  1. Same! A good burst of snow for 10 minutes. Enough to cover the grass and side streets. Wife insisted she saw lightning out the front window earlier. I told her she was wrong…..Turns out i was the wrong one.
  2. Heavy snow just south of Morningside in Edinburgh! Easily the best snowfall of the year so far. Probably about 2.5cm accumulation so far, but getting some good bursts of snow bands every 20 minutes or so.
  3. At least we can take pride in the fact that Eunice's center is passing right overhead!
  4. Although I must say, I've not seen such high confidence levels for significant snowfall before. And from ensembles as well! (Units in inches)
  5. I think the cutoff on the northern edge of the precipitation will be quite sharp, especially with a fairly strong low pressure system. That said, I am hopeful that we see at least some measurable snow here in Edinburgh!
  6. Edinburgh weather as Arctic plunge brings freezing temperatures to Scotland - Edinburgh Live WWW.EDINBURGHLIVE.CO.UK As north of Scotland fell below 0, Edinburgh residents will feel the chill as temperatures drop to freezing this week before snow is forecasted for the central belt. These kinds of stories are just awful. No attempt at accuracy at all
  7. A surprise dusting of snow in south Edinburgh this morning! 02ABB46D-BAB0-41F4-B76C-B3A7BFD41CA4.heic
  8. Haven't been as active on here recently, but Happy New Year! And what a strange ending to a strange year. 11.6 degrees in south Edinburgh with less than 3 hours to go until midnight. ?
  9. Curious little feature over the capital this morning. Isolated and stationary line of showers. Likely a sea breeze front I think?
  10. Proper cold this morning! 32.7°F (0.3°C) for a low in Morningside. Coldest reading since April 13th.
  11. Good to know that the brown hills in April/May aren't too abnormal. And thats an interesting and informative point on the regrowth! I hadn't thought of that, but then again, I am too knowledgable on how land regenerates itself on an annual manner. I use the good ole and super scientific "eyeball" test. But it does sound like crop stress is starting to become a concern "“In Europe, as the recent cold period eases, attention has shifted to ongoing dryness after little or no rain fell in France, Germany and the UK over the past few weeks, increasing concerns over crop stress,” said Mr Lane." Source: Grain prices pushed higher as weather worries grow - Farmers Weekly WWW.FWI.CO.UK A nervous grain market saw November 2021 London feed wheat futures rise by more than £6/t on Thursday (22 April) to just over £186/t, another new contract
  12. A perfect day for a hike in the Borders! Loch Skeen at the top of Grey Mares Tail was just pristine today. But so dry! Not sure I’ve ever seen so much “burnt” landscape and dust in Scotland. Big pattern changes coming tomorrow. Certainly colder but just how much more precipitation as we head into May?
  13. Can anyone help me put into context just how dry this April has been relative to recent years?
  14. Also, gonna post this twitter thread as well. Interesting to watch. Could be some close to record low thickness values in parts of Scotland by tomorrow. As a reminder, the colder the air, the denser the air becomes and the distance between any two height levels also decreases. Translation, some really cold columns of air incoming!
  15. Just too dry! Impressive cold, but it may be so dry that even the highest peaks of the Pentlands don't see anything as well.
  16. It is Easter after all! But I am also a bit out of season with my winter/snow forecasting. Here is a tweet that might fill your needs
  17. Forgot to post this picture from Threipmuir on Sunday! Seems the reservoir is super low. @101_North, can you confirm this? Wondering how the water levels compare to past years.
  18. My station shows a 42mph gust in the last hour here in Morningside. But I'd venture to say some of those gusts were 50+. My station isn't ideally located for wind detection.
