Some wee bawbag just threw a snowball off my front window... Obviously didn't realise I was standing at the other window so he got an earful, lol.

A covering of powder snow here. Things looking a bit better now and snow showers becoming more frequent.

nice cover here, but no sooner do the showers get going, they stop, very frustrating

[LomondSnowstorm]

On closer inspection the precip over (roughly) Argyll and the north of the Firth of Clyde does look as if it's organising itself into something. Still plenty of time for me to be eating humble pie and a lot of peeps to be getting snow on, and to the south of, the Clyde-Forth isthmus.

South of may be pushing it I feel, but honestly for Edinburgh this is already meeting my (admittedly tiny) expectations with showers even just getting through here.

The rush hour bit did look suspect to me, not that many runs had anything substantial for the central belt until after 7.

Aye pretty much Rab, just over 18cm here now. Had an absolute pasting in the last hour, blizzard conditions and drifts appearing. Wouldn't be surprised with local road closures come morning

Certainly was a good spell of snow just gone! Could be some great interest in about an hour or two for us, those very intense showers developing to the South of Barra and heading just south of Skye / north of Colonsay etc are heading straight towards us.

A lovely spell of snow for the Highlands before the potentially frigid northerly later this week and into next week.

Snow back on now and the radar looking more interesting. The dusting from earlier this evening melted so the surfaces are quite damp and my only concern is that the snow could initially struggle to settle.

[BurntFishTrousers]

Big snaw on the way looking at radar oot west

[Polar Gael]

About 4 inches lying on the level here and still whumphing us. 

[Kayemill]

Heavy snow here now. Hopefully the MO called it right.

Heavy snow here now. Hopefully the MO called it right.

Totally dry here in irvine....it's amazing how the showers can miss us then appear inland

[Michael Kaii]

not getting a break from these showers there are coming in quicker than a bus

 

hope this is things to come likes

[November13]

Yep think its the late late show.Snow just hitting Glasgow should be in central by 9pm then east about 10pm!

[Blizzardo]

Snow back on about 15 minutes ago and getting heavier. At last I seem to be in line for the band of showers moving in from the north of Northern Ireland. 0.8c/-0.2c.

[grifter]

Getting a good blasting here now, went out about 20 mins ago for a walk, had already been on about 1/2 an hour or more and now the sky is totally orange and still coming down good. Goin back out for a look.

[edo]

Not seen much here since early afternoon but no complaints...a very powdery 6cm that forms good snowballs and an excellent sledging base....kids had a ball so my wish I would be happy with a few cm came true and couldn't be happier...happy as Larry

I'm not looking at radars just have the curtains fully open lights off inside and a perfect lampie viewing angle....who knows what we will see but gonna be gutted when the rain washes it away...kids were desperate to get out tomorrow after work

[November13]

Snow showing 5 miles east of Glasgow!

[skyeblue]

Yip defo for a direct hit this time

There is some precip going to the south...perhaps not much though

It's coming down quite well not hard but getting wind blown (could last a while though)

Went out to grit my street as it's become icy with snow settling ontop. While out snow was heavy but got a flash of lightning and quiet thunder no doubt muffled by the snow falling. Heard some quiet rumbling again there.

[November13]

Bishopton traffic can is white out!

[blitzen]

Just short of an inch here I would say but that is an all day accumulation.   Not had any melt though and the snow is of the very dry type.   Noticed that it alternates between almost like talcum powder to large flakes.   I think, looking at the radar, that things should get going a bit later on as it does look a bit more organised.  

Going by the 12z runs, I don't think we should be gutted if tonight doesn't produce as things are certainly looking wintry for a while now, once we get the wind on wed/thurs out of the way?

It's great, might sack work and head up cairngorm tomorrow with my board. Though getting there might be a problem at this rate, still stacking up, heavy snow

[snowy owl]
