Just started here !! ... And there's a whole queue of them lining up behind as well :-)
Yup, multiple blobs lined up due east of us way way back into the North Sea and all heading due west. Virtually impossible to avoid lots more cms overnight

Whaow ! Big crack of thunder here in Leith. It's thundersnaw time !
Edit: think it must have come from a shower in the estuary, not that much snaw coming down here right now.

Just heard the kiss of death for the rest of this cold spell. BBC National news just said "and there's a lot more snow to come". That is usually the ultimate jinx !

I’m heading back towards lammermuirs (behind Tranent /elphinstone ) roughly. Catching this stream just now , really heavy snow .
Gotcha, thanks ! In principle Edinburgh is more or less in line with what you've got...keeping my eyes on the radar again...

Cue the inevitable stupid questions on the radio about how Scandinavia copes but Scotland doesn't
I expect there will be days of this kind of media sh1te to come, whipping punters into a frenzy against govt/councils, transport companies, why weren't the gritters out earlier etc etc etc

Heavy snow back on here again , sky is just laden with snow!
Measured 10cm of snow earlier this afternoon in windy conditions but it’s drifting so much it’s hard to find a good spot to measure. Snow drifts are huge now, Ruler just disappeared
Goodness knows if this keeps up how much snow we’ll have in the morning. Good job schools are shut again. .
Where are you in East Lothian Snowy ? Just trying to work out if I'm downwind of you or not !

The red is right over Edinburgh?
Certainly right over @101_North Looks like he might need to get more Single Malt in

A question,,,,how is the streamer heavier in the west of the country when it’s coming in from the east,,,,what is fuelling the energy??
I understand some of the reasons for it I think but not all. Better geeks on this forum who can explain this ahem..travesty !

wow, that was some shower but think thats us done for a while looking at the radar ..
Aye, unless and until something changes with the streamer or trough or whatever it wants to call itself, looks like we have a long clear spell coming up. But no complaints here (apart from my usual moans!)

Heaviest snow I think I've ever seen just now!! If this keeps up for much longer @Hawesy will have been bang on the money!
7 miles between you in the streamer ,and me and @JoeShmoe in the ongoing clear spot. I may have to have another wee greet again
Edit: Joe has snaw but radar is ongoing iffy this side of town

Fantastic. Made up for you. Currie/Balerno used to be a snow magnet but you've been short-changed by meteorological fate a few times there. Glad it's panned out and who knows how much more to come in next 24-36 hours ? Keep taking the photos !

All kinds of bad (ok, "inexperienced") driving going on here even in my low-traffic Leith street. In the last hour seen a car do a slow motion straight turn into the bollards at the corner (left their bumper hanging half-off) and two cars that just span their wheels for 10 minutes getting up what must be a 2 degree incline in this street. Red warning is justified on transport safety grounds alone if folk can't even handle relatively benign back-streets at slow speed.

Anywhere between 12-14cm level and over 30 in the drifts! Epic stuff!
Good on ye, saving the day for Embra ! Looks like you're ongoing catching some of the streamer to the south. The ongoing streamer to the north of me is following the midline of the Forth but not deviating from it's course due west. Only 5 miles away! Agonising !

Wow what a blizzard there was for about half an hour! Think that deposited around 2 or 3 cm.
Looks like there's a snow streamer setting up just south of Edinburgh. Hoping it starts moving north!
Edit: Looks like 2 snow streamers are setting up. Quite impressive how Edinburgh managed to be just between both of them
Edinburgh. In the middle of the red warning area, sat in between 2 streamers on the radar, and catching the clearer area in between thats moving west. Truly we couldn't make it up

Snaw-fog in Leith just now. Magnificent.

Snow back on here and looks like a streamer might be setting up ... would tally with the warnings ...
The irony is that Edinburgh is slap-bang in the middle of the red area. The snaw-gods are taking the p1ss now surely.

Says thats the forecast until Friday so think its a bit of a lazy estimate. Can't see Edinburgh coming top even with 2 days to go. It would be Gogarbank though "officially" as the recording station. I have no idea what its like currently on the western periphery of town to be honest.
