No great surprise the band has fragmented and missed here. Always the same story. Fingers crossed the showers pack enough to reach here later. Will be a close call though... 

[strathearn snow]

Heavy snow in Crieff!

[Blizzardo]

Some wet snow here this morning which is a bit more than I expected and should be a positive sign for the rest of the day. Temperature 2.3c and dewpoint 1.2c.

[101_North]

Latest Met forecast for here is pretty uninspiring for later on. Enjoy it if you get folks! Glass half empty today lol 

[Highland Snow]

Heavy rain as expected here. Temperature +2.8C/+1.8C and 2.8mm of rain since 06:30.

[Munter]

Snowing here just north east of Dundee at 500 ft asl.

[November13]

Crapp!

[Blizzardo]

Another snow shower passing through. Still not lying but the temperature is down to 1.8c and dewpoint at 0.9c. Looks like a nice covering on the hills.

 

There should be plenty of shower activity moving in from the west as we move through today.

 

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Heavy snaw here.

 

Maybe 1.5 cm lying now.

 

0.6 C.

[aggy]

Nothing lying yet but lying in the carrick hills and a few miles inland

Neighbour said it was huge slaked of snow aswell

[aggy]

Flakes

[Benvironment]

A glancing blow here left....wait for it.....1mm of snow!  Off to phone Fife council to come and dig me out.

[Poots]

Only rain. T +1c. Those who have it, enjoy it! 

[101_North]

Positive hat on - if it was going to rain here we've at least missed it!

[Ross B]

Just light sleet here but the front was always forecast to break up over the central belt. 

[rob4al]

Rain all the way at my location just to the east of Glasgow. It's strange how I hear (from Facebook) that people near the coast are getting some snow yet a location like mine, 20+ miles inland at 100m keeps on getting rain! I must live in some sort of warm pocket micro climate or something haha 

[GoldenJackel]

Its just started snowing moderately here in Dyce after starting out as rain. Its not lying at all but its awesome to see some of the white stuff! It has been too long.

[Blizzardo]

Still snowing off and on here but only really amounting to a slushy covering especially on grass, roofs and cars. 1.6c/0.7c.

[Ravelin]

Well that was a shock!

 

Temperature in Kemnay around 8:30am was showing 3.1/2.6C and had been rising slowly after an overnight low at some point of -2.7C. No frost in evidence on the garden or the cars so I thought anything falling would be rain. Left the house about 8:50am and it was just starting to rain, with the odd bit of sleet thrown in. By the time I got to Kintore it was very sleety and by Blackburn it was full on heavy wet snow, could probably have been classed as blizzard-like with a strong southerly wind driving it across the road. Might be the effect of the precipitation but the temp dropped from the 3C in Kemnay to 0C at Dyce (according to the car thermometer) and the snow was trying to lie on the higher section at Tyrebagger. It's still snowing in Dyce now and even here it's trying to leave wet accumulations on the cars and grass.

[mardatha]

Have we to get a bad storm tomorrow? I've seen one report saying the track is moving further south, and another one saying it's moving further north..?

[101_North]

Latest Euro4 not doing much to increase my positivity for later either. Showing pretty much nothing round these parts which fits nicely with the Met Forecast.

[BleakMidwinter]

My other half has just emailed me a photo of heavy snow falling outside his office window.In sodding Telford.In sodding midlands Shropshire.I'm in Scotland! Scotland, famed internationally for its cold, snowy winters! Scotland, the land of snow and ice! And I'm being out-snowed by bloody TELFORD??????

[Cheggers]

That blue blob keeping true for here. 

[Ravelin]

Turned back to rain in Dyce now. That was a short winter!

[Highland Snow]

 

 

Edit: I use the phrase "went to bed last night" loosely, "went back to bed after MrsCatch woke me up at 3.30am and never really got back to sleep" would be more accurate, not that I'm bitter or anything

 

 

 

Catch some women are just insatiable!
