Anyone know what the Met office are counting as higher ground for tonight?

[blitzen]

Really intense and blizzardy when they come on.   That one left the front of the garages plastered.

[Mesosphere]

Blizzard here!!! Now starting to lie.

Pelting it down here aswell! starting to lie on the grass. 2.7C

[jellybaby1969]

blue skies and sunshine

[GrrClark]

Had a good shower around 10:30 that gave everything a light covering, but all melted again.

 

The odd flurry in between times, but nothing lasting.

[November13]

Yep pretty disappointed I have to say. Afternoons getting on and nothing lying on the ground. That definately wasn't the forecast. Not sure what it's like in Falkirk but most of the traffic cams are pretty green looking in the central belt. Looking to after 6pm now I suspect.

[snowy owl]

Well after that blizzard, the snow is melting on all surfaces. Not quite there yet with temps?

Nothing here in Camelon, but lying up at Head of Muir

Temperature has increases slightly in the last half hour from 2.6 to 2.8 but the dew point has plummeted from -0.3 to -1.9. And there is a shower that should be starting any second now.

5 minutes later and it's snowing but already it's going off. Just on the fringes of this one.

Nothing lying here in Falkirk yet. Probably my fault as I left work early based on met office forecast and fear of driving in snow. It has gone very dark outside just now so I imagine it's about to snow again. Let's hope some sticks before the days out.

[LomondSnowstorm]

A dusting, nearly a covering now heading out towards Peebles. Looks like I might arrive just in time for a big shower...

Honestly, I wasn't expecting it to stick widely till about now, temperatures (or at least DPs since we've got a little bit of solar insulation still to deal with) should drop off a degree or two between now and 5pm and that should do the trick, particularly away from the immediate west coast.

^{Just had a shower of rain in the city centre here.     Passed over quite quickly.    Wind does seem to be picking up though.}    

[GrangemouthBairn]

After that last shower the temp dropped to 2.3 and hasn't changed since. The wind chill is -3.1 and the dew point has now fallen to -2.4, For the last half an hour I've been right on the edge of a shower that is giving some light snow on and off. Nothing lying yet.

Some lovely cloudscapes today. Had an extremely heavy snow shower in Stirling around 9 am, which started to lie on all surfaces but soon melted. Hopefully this interlude between showers will help dry the ground a little - lots of puddles about after hours of sleet! Met Office amber warning doesn't come into effect until 5 pm, so still lots of promise for lying snow in the Central Belt

[DR(S)NO]

After a spell if an hour or so of dry, bright weather ......the last 30 mins have resulted in the White stuff starting to lie on all areas.

Temp dropped to 2c with a DP of -1c

Here's hoping we all get to see some snow in the next week or so

[A Winter's Tale]

Just a few light snow showers coming through every now and then. Currently this isn't amber warning material so this evening and night we really need to see an improvement in the shower or possibly trough activity to our west. I've noticed during the past two days that the peak of snowy conditions for today was being put back from the morning to afternoon to evening and now it seems we might have to wait til night for more promising activity. Currently I'm not too hopeful but there's still time for things to become more interesting and these sort of polar maritime snow events normally deliver after dark.

[Jo Farrow]

Light snow shower finally in E. Lothian blowing right in my face, but at least one shower got over here

[mistyqueen]

Ach, thin graupely, sleety stuff again! Nothing lying, just getting blown away in the wind. Bummer!

[GraemeB]

Temps here in Stirling went up to nearly 3c but have now dropped back to 1.4c with -1c DP, so it's all starting to come together.

 

It's certainly been off and on with snow all day, just not lying.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Soutra turning white finally.

 

Could be a fun drive home.

 

Snaw here at Riccarton, W. Embra trying to stick and increasingly succeeding.

It was a very beefy shower, it's sticking on the grass now. I was surprised how quickly it started to lie, clear again but my w/s is reading 1.6c so hopefully the next shower will cover.

[Stormeh]

Snowing on and off for most of the day but not lasting long enough to settle. Lets hope for something for organised later on.

[aggy]

Everything going north and south of here

[Stormeh]

Ok so i posted a few mins ago saying the snow is not lying. Just looked outside and have this...

Can concur with what a few have been saying. A constant stream of showers but nothing's been able to lie..............yet
