EastLothianSnow

We have 23cm of snow here, which for this area can only be beaten by the epic December 2010 which delivered 30cm, so this has been a pretty special snow event for us! It looks as though we have had a decent bit of snow overnight too. Good to see so many of us have done well. 😀

Run complete in near whiteout conditions at times, with that beautiful orange glow in the sky. Loved every second of it! 😀😀😀 Weather report - heavy snow showers passing by fairly regularly at the moment, covering of a cm or two so far. Hope everyone gets their share over the next few days.

First shower for a few hours here and we now have a covering on all surfaces... just in time for me going out for a run! This could be fun! 😄

Sounds promising, hopefully your right! 😀 We’ve had a couple of showers so far today, but nothing that’s lasted longer than a few minutes so still little on the ground.

Similar here, but we aren’t in the amber warning area, interesting one.

How’s it looking to the east of Edinburgh @LomondSnowstorm? Are we likely to be in the firing line at some stage in my neck of the woods? MetOffice app showing heavy snow/heavy snow showers here from this evening and most of tomorrow, but we aren’t in the amber warning area so not expecting too much.

No snow here overnight. Still the same patchy dusting we had last night.

Certainly look to be creeping south so hopefully they will arrive later on. Last couple of showers have started lying more widely, road looking white now whereas earlier it was just melting. Good sign for later.

Weather station reading 0.7C now, been sat at 1.3C most of the day. Been snow grains most of the day but not amounting to more than some mini drifts in corners of the garden and some on the grass. Keeping an eye on those heavier showers in the North Sea, slowly creeping south... 🤞🏻

2010 was epic for us in East Lothian, this picture was taken close to the Forth, at sea level. The snow was over a foot deep and lying on the beach. Incredible stuff for this neck of the woods!

Temperature creeping down slowly here. Weather station was reading 3.1C earlier but has crept down to 2.6C. Still rain showers for now.

Interesting article on the potential in the upcoming period, good read! Finally: Beast from the East set to release extreme cold and snow over Europe next week WWW.SEVERE-WEATHER.EU A cold outbreak is setting up for next week as a so-called Beast from the East will push extreme cold and also some snow towards the central-west Europe.

Nothing but occasional cold rain here. Assuming the strong easterly wind is ruining our snow chances today, not that I thought they were high to begin with. 😄

Yes, ill expect rain or sleet and if it snows it’ll be a pleasant surprise. We had a few showers this afternoon which were all of snow, albeit of the wet variety. Hopefully bodes well.

These MetOffice warnings where they warn of snow “away from eastern coastal districts” always has me wondering if I’m included in that area!? 😄 Technically we aren’t on the East Coast, we are further inland but we are still fairly close to the Forth and only at 50m. This warning for midweek warns of snow away from eastern coastal districts, yet our text warning mentions rain and sleet with snow on high ground. Confusing. We are a couple of miles outside of the yellow warning so expecting rain or sleet, but it was only a few weeks ago we got three inches of snow from a frontal event
