Look at the radar!! Waw, waw and more waw. That's quite a sight

[Zenarcher]

Oh man!! Big intense shower !! Big 50p size snow flakes !!!

 

Same here snow showers passing by every few minutes at the moment.

[LomondSnowstorm]

Snowing lightly at the moment out at KB. The first really heavy shower half an hour ago was starting to lie on the grass which is a good sign as I expected it wouldn't start to lie till about 3pm. This next band should push the freezing level down pretty close to sea level so we might not have to wait too long to get some cover, moral for those of you not in the middle of Edinburgh.

Getting a bit heavier here now

Had a heavy snow shower here for quite a while - as I got caught in it wearing the baby! Dew points just a little off here though as it wouldnt settle on the ground at all, and barely on the grass. 

 

My hubby works in stirling and takes the A9. what sort of time is snow chances to be at their worst - pre or post 5pm? Ta

Constant sleet showers (sleet for now..................I think) Windy as hell too. BRR! Going to be fun going walkies with dogs soon again

That shower has just cleared here and indeed it was very intense.

It's snowing quite heavily here now, it's not lying as yet at ground level but it's been sticking from about 100ft up from early this morning. Looking forward to seeing more as the day goes on. The radar is looking fabulous at the mo!

[aggy]

Aww, aggy, I feel proper sorry for you

 

I'm almost glad that I'm heading off to work now until later tonight as it'll avoid an afternoon of radar watching and wishing, will drop in for an update at "lunchtime" about 6.30pm Have fun everyone, stay safe and keep those pics and vids coming please

[Snowlover2]

Woooohooo!!!

[Kayemill]

Snowing at Prestwick airport now so that has to be a good sign.

[jellybaby1969]

rain in killie

[November13]

Heavy snow city of Glasgow!

[scottishandy]

The band has arrived.

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Been snowing here for nearly an hour, varying intensity. Now starting to lie a bit.

[Norrance]

Went through a very heavy snow shower this morning on the A9 between dunblane and Blackford. Was settling readily despite the wet ground. Back in Dundee now there is a light flurry. Hopefully more will get through later but  the wind is just a fraction too far North of West I fear.

[Altostratus]

Nothing here, as expected. Currently sunny but noticeably windier than this morning. 

[howham]

Yes, frustrating again as we're bone dry.

[Boydie]

Have had a few heavy Snow showers here in Fife, was starting to lie. Has now died away, temp was sitting in the car at 2.5, felt colder with the wind. Think this evening will bring more.
