    Do you need to ask Bonnie snow covered day in town, tourists loving it. Off topic, just having a hot chocolate in MacDonalds. Would it have been wrong of me to eat the 4 chicken nuggets that someone just walked away and left ? In the minutes I took to ponder that moral question, a staff member binned them. Won't make that mistake again...

    Right this greetin-faced soor-pussed toys-oot-the-pram man-child is going out into the snaw. The point is to enjoy it isn't it, not to sit here behind the keyboard all day pointlessly ranting at radar and isobars. Anyway @101_North and @JoeShmoe can keep up the high-quality Edinburgh whining in my absence . Enjoy the snaw everyone !
  3. Sunny Leith
    Good idea. Being in Leith I'll turn to heroin.
  4. Sunny Leith
    I'll measure mine when I go out, but it's less depth than yours for obvious reasons. To add insult to injury, from the window I can see what might be termed North Leith is at least occasionally getting blasted by some of whats passing us by in the Forth, whilst I sit here in sun-bathed South Leith. Taking this personally now ! Heres a wee selfie from a minute ago.

    Maybe but just north of east is what usually works best here in multiple previous setups. Basically I'm toys oot the pram just now, best thing is to go for a walk in what is currently a beautiful snowy day here (just not remotely snowy enough though!)
  6. Sunny Leith
    That memory must put your age at 93.
  7. Sunny Leith
    Aye. I don't grudge it to anyone here either. Frustration on my part, and part of that is my inability to understand why there's a (relatively) effective snow shield here so close to the north sea action, whilst areas far west of here get hammered. I understand some of why that happens but the basic recipe of uppers, dew-points, convection, flow appears to be in place here so I'm not getting my head around whats going on. And hey someone's got to be the grump on here right !
  8. Sunny Leith
    If I went on my roof (not a day for doing that !) then I could see the north sea. Proximity to it not exactly proving to be a bonanza in Leith I have to say. It's perverse really.
  9. Sunny Leith
    I will. Relative to conditions elsewhere, relative to the hype, relative to the forecast, and relative to 2010 or even 2013, locally this is an underperformer. We only need the sun to come out most of the day now to attack what we have to complete my morning grumpiness.
  10. Sunny Leith
    Same here. In relative terms I rate this as a B-minus locally. Can't say I rate an easterly that manages to set up steady constant streamer activity 40-50-60 miles west of us and mostly manages to circumnavigate Edinburgh. Utter gash.
  11. Sunny Leith
    Yeah...been very little here to add to the 2 or 3 good coastal hits we had here 4 or 5 hours ago. To be honest I'd happily roll the dice on a subtle change of wind direction or flow, currently the lack of snaw activity around a radius of Edinburgh is pretty dispiriting.
  12. Sunny Leith
    Ditto. I'm getting stick too. I'm going to pass all their complaints through to Hawsey should the current snaw underachievement persist in Leith.
  13. Sunny Leith
    Yeah, f00k off Motherwell On the plus-side if the game is snawed off on Sunday at least the Hertz will still be in the cup for a few more days ! Meantime, although there's not a big lot falling here, what is coming down is swirling about the streets like St Petersburg in a spy movie.
  14. Sunny Leith
    Cheers LS, that makes sense But when you say "diverted" I prefer to use the term STOLEN !
  15. Sunny Leith
    No we can't I'm currently using a marker pen on my screen to trace the outline of showers as they approach and run through the Forth estuary, to get some kind of handle on whats happening over time. My astounding conclusion: there's not many heading for, or hitting Edinburgh Think I should go and do something normal for a wee while. Whatever normal is !
  16. Sunny Leith
    Yup, something is broken here, god knows what
  17. Sunny Leith
    Aye, the Edinburgh snow-shield is being perversely effective and operating at 80% efficiency despite all the factors that are currently scripted to give us a decent build-up of snow (but aren't). ENE wind, convection into the estuary, temperature, dewpoint and (presumably) uppers are all in play. But have that sinking feeling that locally this is not going to be anything like a 2010 or 2013 repeat. Something missing this time, too subtle for me to work out yet. Different outcomes elsewhere of course.
  18. Sunny Leith
    Yeah, no complaints, at best an even 1cm round here but given the marginal beginning to the day in Leith it's a relief. Some folk have already had a good start but for most of us it looks like its the next 48 hours that determine whether we bracket 2018 alongside other memorable events, or whether its a footnote that didn't match the hype. 'Mon the snaw !
  19. Sunny Leith
    Couple of direct hits does the job. Hopefully more, bigger, heavier, longer-lasting radar blobs to come all our ways.
  20. Sunny Leith
    Shouldn't matter too much. You just need more of it falling for a bit longer. Coming together gradually on this side of town.
  21. Sunny Leith
    Next radar-blob hitting us now. Visibility dropped and being blasted by fine talcum powder snaw.
  22. Sunny Leith
    2mm's down, 13.8cms to go !
  23. Sunny Leith
    Yes, no problems on that score.
  24. Sunny Leith
    First "proper" 2010-style snow shower hitting Leith just now. A few more direct hits like that on the radar and we'll be on the way.
  25. Sunny Leith
    Yeah noticed that. Here and now, dew point has dropped steadily to -3 at the airport, wind constant from the east, radar looks decent over coming hours, and fine snowflakes blowing about in the wind down here. The trend might be underway.
