Watched a shower there and it was a bit sleety, could see rain and a mix of snowflakes in it. Amazing watching the big curtains of precip coming up the Clyde.

Heavy snow when leaving for work. Was 5deg when I got up with dew point 3.7. When I left it had dropped to 2 deg and dew 0.1.

Heavy sleet in prestwick. Not looking forward to the drive home tonight.

Edit: meant to say I passed 3 snow ploughs on the way here so they seem to be taking it seriously.

Mornin' Kilties from a very sleety and cauld Skye. Massive drop in temp, down to 2.5 here today, was up at something ridiculous yesterday...11c if I remember correctly. Not expecting any white stuff till later on, and probably only a dusting as we usually get. I have plenty of wood and coal ready to keep the cauld at bay!

This could turn Into an epic event for west coast and central belt. I am a little concerned that coastal areas may just see rain and sleet. Edited by jellybaby1969

Morning all, not been on as much as smartphone has black screen of death on me and is at repair shop! Might continue to inadvertently break them if there is any connection to the synoptics.

 

Cold air arriving with some bluster as the cold fronts sweep on through, Faxes are jammed with features over the next couple of days, who knows where a trough could stall or breakdown. :bomb: Thursday evening projection has echoes of a feature we all know from the past.

Plenty of 'blobs' out west, showers stacked and packed and ready to roll through, activity gets lively from mid-day on NMM

Amber potential for sure given Euro 4 heavier precip for this afternoon / evening. move that heavier band North a touch and slow the transition and it's bang on the M-8 at peak time.

Also will be interesting to see how this low pans out travelling down the east of the country Friday > Saturday.

Fingers crossed for snow or even Thundersnow where you are. Enjoy !

Nuh, send it right over here. I want snow.

 

Blitzen: Get a can of petrol and torch that snowblower, in a sacrifice to the snow gods :D

 

Currently 4.4º/0.7º but also dropping steadily.

Rain to heavy flake snow for a bit there in Paisley. Seemed to be back and forth between rain/sleet/snow, but the snow flakes were quite big and very wet snow.

 

Not sure if any will stick unless it stays on a bit longer.

Starting to feel the windchill now! Skies are clearing here and I can see some blue sky. Wind helping to dry all road surfaces again.

Paisley town centre is one of the last places it's going to snow and settle Grifter (as you'll well know :) ), so if it's already snowing at this time there, then that's a good sign. The TAF for Glasgow Airport was forecasting sleet showers between 6am and 8am today and then snow showers from 8am today to 6am tomorrow, so pretty good forecast there I think (assuming what falls now onwards is snow).

 

Edit: Watch out for some thundersnow too, the NW radar/lightning detector is reporting hits in the North-West and over Northern Ireland. A fun day ahead for a lot of peeps :good:
