Our friends across the water are getting snow in Ireland

It's coming our way too

No doubt it will turn to rain

[Zenarcher]

Storm today in the West 50 to 70mph gusts have been reported. The wind from this point onwards will stay strong but start to slowly ease off but it will remain strong overnight into Monday.

 

The sat images from the past week have not been good just mainly cloudy but on Monday the North East could be seen,

 

 

Some parts along the South as well,

Glencoe 150 cm of Snow

Nevis range 130 cm of snow

Cairngorm 120 cm of snow

 

Thats just Epic Amounts.

Greetings from Stavanger.

 

Sadly, seems there was some snow - various patches remaining - but just cold and dry (-1 C). Not sure if the band in the north sea will make any inroads.

 

Was sleet/snow on the high stretch before Perth with slush on the road when driving to Aberdeen this morning. Snowline quite low on the hills.

[Cheggers]

Intense sower has left slushy deposit, and temp falling by the minute.

[Highland Snow]

Temperature stuck here at 3.7C/2.5C.

[Hairy Celt]

A surprisingly pleasant afternoon eventually, if you ignore the biting wind, heavy rain showers and dog poop.  The highlight was a good sighting of some dolphins at the lighthouse - I don't often see them in winter.

 

Off north tonight to say hello to whatever comes in from the north Atlantic.  Colder later in the week so longjohns packed, Blitz.

[mistyqueen]

A distinct lack of snow here, just loads of sleet, hail, rain....all horizontal, off course. And that wind would cut ye in three! I doubt very much that we'll see any white stuff here, there is a dusting on the mountain tops though.

[November13]

Will it ever snow this winter....? rain!

Can't say I don't look out for you HC!

[blitzen]

Well I thought I would have seen at least a couple of snowflakes today, but nope! This is getting really dire now. I don't think I could look at another flaming chart if you paid me!

I am usually quite sad to see winter go but I don't think I will feel like that this year.

[snowy owl]

Blitzen i think you will echo everyones feelings just now and  i most definitely agree today.

 

I'm still wondering if the strat warming will  start to have any impact?

 

Although looking int he doom and gloom thread (i mean the MT). Even Steve M seems to be throwing in the towel!

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Very light snow here in Stavanger.

 

Nice - just came out of the restaurant after dinner in the old town / harbour area and little flakes drifting down in a chilly breeze.

EDIT. I see snow is affecting the higher routes in bonnie Scotland.

Scotland weather: Rain, wind and snow strike routes

 

 

Wonder if I can persuade the boss we need to drive back to Edinburgh from Aberdeen via Inverness tomorrow. Or at least the lecht and glenshee.

NASA model 0z has us here at 96hr

 

 

then at 120hr has us under a slack flow but with colder uppers coming in and a little different in the atlantic as it has picked up on the low that was in the fax chart last night

 

 

12z will be out later

 

managed to find some snow but was hard to find a place to get out couldn't get out anywhere at glen ogle couldn't get the car in the car park lol.

 

some places had snow and others didn't even though they were at the same level.

 

didn't help I got stuck for an hour in the trossachs waiting on gritters getting a lorry going that then got a caravan stuck as well.

 

managed to get some pics and a few videos will get them uploaded soon.

Some interesting discussion on MT

 

"I think if one looks back through January and Tamars posts,she has always said that nothing spectacular would show until at least February and that this week is a bonus."

 

So still a waiting game ....

 

Off for a break as all this waiting is getting to me lol

 

 

 

[GulberwickWeather]

A tad breezy this evening! Fairly steady windspeeds of around 45kts (Severe Gale 9) with a top gust so far of 69 kts (79mph). Turning colder with a mixture of rain and sleet.

If only :/

Sleet here when anything is falling.

[Buriedundersnow]

when we first hit the trossachs just after callander we started to hit the snow line with some small accumulations starting

 

 

but only a few miles up the road we were stopped for an hour in a queue while some idiot in a lorry got stuck

 

 

got a couple of pics while waiting of the snow that had settled around

 

 

then I have a video of the drive up the trossachs which I will post in a while

 

we then turned and went along by loch earn where there wasn't much snow at road level but some lovely views of the snow on the hills

 

 

then onward through toward crieff where we got a real surprise and honestly thought I was tripping

 

yes they are albino wallabies in the snow in Scotland in january

 

 

from the looks of SCOTTISHANDYS pics above I should have went to the ski centre but think I will venture up there next time in a couple of weeks

[LomondSnowstorm]

Slightly sad that this is perhaps the most promising snow accumulations chart we've seen all month but there it is - some accumulations to low levels in Fife and the Lothians from a slackish short fetch easterly flow tomorrow night

[Buriedundersnow]

video from the drive through the trossachs today once we had got moving again

I know it's not funny that we seem to be missing out yet again as winter fast approaches it's final weeks but check out the model thread and Frosty defending the models as If they are people with feelings.... Too funny

[Zenarcher]

Well it's been a windy day in the West I think somewhere along the coasts reported a 79mph gust around 3pm today. The low today reached 947mb at 12pm and overnight it will start  to move into the UK bringing some wet and windy with it but the low itself along with the winds will be much weaker than earlier on.

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

No snow yet.

[Buriedundersnow]

didn't find too much snow in rural areas but managed to find some on a golf course for the wee wan to have some fun with her sledge.
