[101_North]

Just arrived in Blairgowrie. Heavy snow, everywhere white and even a crack of thunder! Sledging shouldn't be an issue tomorrow or Sunday as even if this melts a short drive should do.

400ft and not even a dusting ...yet 1 mile up the road lying snow...cmon.

[Hawesy]

Chucking it down, heavy rain and sleet, 2.6c, wind almost gale force ESEly. In a word: miserable.

[Benvironment]

Temperature is creeping up again.  0.5C

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Temp has dropped like a stone in the last hour. Went from just under four degrees  to 1.4C. Is this a sign of snow??

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Sky is going that snowy white colour to the South of me. Let's hope it snows.

[GrangemouthBairn]

Been permanent rain for the last2 hours. Really is awful outside in the cold wind and rain.

[Audrey]

Very heavy wet snow and just had a rumble of thunder too!

[Ross B]

Some pretty heavy snow falling again here  

[howham]

[howham]

Falling to 3.6C and precip looking heavier and more sleety...

Ha ! Just in time for getting off the train, nice to get on the train in the wind and rain then get off to nice fat heavy wet snaw !

 

Traffic carnage around Edinburgh Park, City Bypass at rush hour, Amazes me when a bit rain / sleet / snow causes so much chaos..agree with LS 950s altered via instensity of ppn.

[November13]

8km run in sleet and wind ...who needs a facial!Its now very heavy snow in Maddiston.300ft seems to be the transition to snow!

[Highland Snow]

Road conditions on A85 between Crieff and Methen atrocious with horizontal large snowflakes making forward visibility very poor. Less severe here but still a few cms of slush! Currently 1.0C/+0.3C.

[pleasesnownow]

Aye, had an interesting drive home from work.

 

Higher stretch of the Edinburgh bypass was whiteout with lying snow building up on the road and crawling traffic. Back to sleet by the Dalkeith bypass turn off.

 

Climbed up to Fala on the A68 and back to heavy snow over Soutra down to Oxton. Heavy wet snow / sleet from there to home.

 

Pishin sleety rain here now and 1.6 C.

[chemikal]

Very large & fluffy snow flakes in the last 5 minutes and everything is turning white.

 

Back to sleet now. It was nice while it lasted. I think more elevation & heavier precipitation required for any lasting snow to stick. I'm at about 70m asl.

I was up with the family at Glenshee today. Glad I left when I did. Daughters pal texted a while ago that they stopped on way down for a refreshment and were still now on the road with heavy snow. Here 1.7C with heavy sleet.

Wet snow earlier did not stick at least here near the river. Started as rain but temps dropped from 3.2C to 1.3C as it got heavy. Evaporative cooling?

Anothe rmassive dump for the mountains I would think,

[NorthernRab]

Was faced with a drive between Glasgow and Inverness tonight but passed. Staying in Glasgow instead.

For god's sake man - why!

[snowy owl]

We had a burst of snow in between the rain/sleet at tea-time. still rain only here

 

Nevertheless lovely to hear the snow reports coming from all around at last! enjoy your evenings lamppost watching

[Benvironment]

Back to sleet now.  1.6C.

 

Had a grand time on Ben Vrackie today though, and my snowshoes got their first (and overdue) outing of the winter

 

[101_North]

Turning sleety here but about 1.5inches on the ground. Got kids out and built a snowman. Pretty slushy and slippery but they had a ball. Suspect there won't be a trace in the morning though. 

[Maitland]

Heavy snow here for last 3 hours. Police stopping traffic from using the Braco to Crieff road due tho atrocious road conditions.

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Heavy snow here at last!!! A good wee covering in the making!!
