Looking at the radar have we got ourselves a wee polar low? There's a circle of strong convective showers with some lightning activity near Inverness, with a clear 'eye' in the middle of it and a hint of rotation on the Netweather 5minute radar. Looks like CairnGorm Mountain is about to get slammed shortly!

 

Yeah, see what you mean. Radar was showing us in rain until a short while ago but can assure you it's snow, and here at sea level. Could be interesting driving conditions for my commute north later.  Haven't heard any rumbles...

 

(Plums are fookd...)

Jeez. Full on snow. Epic. Winter tyres in the back of the garage :oops:

Dryer snow now, currently 2c and because the weather was so good never got time to get winter tyres changed!!!! Cows and calves ran in about an hour ago when young Mr. Northernlights opened the field gates. Will be quite happy to be in folds tonight judging by the radar

Snowing here too now! Temp 2.5/0.7C currently. Started off quite heavy sleet and then turned to full on wet snow in huge flakes. Trying to lie on the grass but will struggle.

More snow than I've had all through winter 14/15 and that's just a light dusting!

Well the snow from earlier melted pretty sharpish once it stopped. Then it came back again with a vengeance. Temp now 0.9/LL.L. About as good as I've seen it here all winter.

Assuming the photo is on the device you are trying to post from, select 'More Reply Options' under the edit box,  then 'choose file',  then 'Attach This File', then something like add to message I think.

Indeed this is probably the best snow event of the winter for me! Very unexpected.

A reminder winter can quickly bite back in Scotland at this time of year. A major switcharound event, some parts of the Highlands basked in maxes approaching 70f on Wednesday whilst today struggled to get above 1 degree!

 

A notably late snowfall.

 

Here we managed a very light hail shower today and nothing else.

Escaped the worst of the chill and almost all the showers here, Max was 11.4c so close to average. Far milder than most of Scotland: http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/pmextremes.html

Cold now though at just 1.8c!

Almost the coldest night of the 2014/15 season here in Crail @ -2.2c. Coldest reading all winter was -2.6c which puts it in perspective.
