Scotland Weather Discussion - 20th November 2015 and Onwards...

[NorthernRab]

Turned to snow much earlier than anticipated here with some heavy snow and really quite dramatic hail so far. Currently snowing, tonight's looking very good!

[Cloudwatcher]

Plenty of 'blobs' queuing up out West as temps begin to drop off...

A nice wee cell blasted through there, heavier precipitation turning from rain > sleet > snow for a brief moment.

 

The wee guy is patiently watching out for snaw -  think it must be genetic !

 

[grifter]

Precip turning a bit more wintry here now, less rain, more sleet, hail and some blobs of snow flying through it.

[mardatha]

Snowing here now and the hills turning white

[Polar Gael]

BOOM!

 

Currently 2.0ºC/1ºC with occasional squally wintry showers passing through and a bit of a thaw on - for now.

You're right we have an unrivaled snow shield here! Did you catch any of the lightning last night? I was in saltcoats and there was a few nice cracks of T&L?

Didn't notice any lightning. Just noticing all the photographs of people who have had lots of the white stuff and nothing here. There has been sleet here but nothing else. I think I will move to the Highlands.

[Ravelin]

Well that was unexpected!

About half past 3 I thought I'd better move and get the dog out before it got dark. Sky was beginning to look ominous so stuck on my waterproof on the expectation of getting wet. Oh no, just walked out the door as the wind got up and the heavy snow started. Proper big flakes of snow, on the wet side but not sleety, travelling virtually horizontally. Both the dog and I had one side or other completely white depending on which direction we were walking.

In an act of perfect timing it stopped just as we got home, but not before turning everything white.

I'd been out earlier and it hadn't felt cold enough to snow, around 3C when I checked early afternoon. Was down to 1.2C after the dog walk.

Don't know what they are complaining about in the model threads, that's me had snow the last 2 weekends and it's not even officially winter yet.

I was just thinking that half of the 10 winters I've spent in Crail have been completely devoid of lying snow, so today's dusting (though mostly gone now) is very notable for late November!

[Northern Strath]

Enjoying the pics peeps. Scenic drive home from Skye as always, saw a Sea Eagle soaring above us on the way (just visible in 1st pic)

Colder picture back here. -2C, snowing heavily and about 10cm+ so far, so decent covering. Snow starting to blow about on local roads. Obligatory bin shot before it got dark

I think Aberdeen has had snow going by some pics in the social media, but nothing where I am looking out my windae. Unless it's melted already!  

[SW Saltire]

Seems like a different land haha. Was at the beach today around 2pm. A balmy 7.5c and briefly sunny on the beach front. Felt really pleasant.

The rain did move in and it fell to 5c with a strong wind.

Wind had felled trees on three different roads when heading to the coast so was a nightmare to get to.

Turned to sleet by 4pm when heading inland.

A chilly 3c now back home. No hope of snow though I'd say.

Decided against driving up the road. I would imagine the higher parts of the road route will get difficult very soon.

Hopefully get a view of some lying snow on my travels north tomorrow

We've had some falling snow here, but I missed it as I was at work. We might yet catch a few flakes tonight, but I doubt it'll come to much. Cracking pics from elsewhere though, I'm jealous lol

Took a drive out to Braemar today and it was beautiful from Ballater onwards. They had about 5 inches in Braemar so everything was really covered. Dodgy drive back home in some serious heavy snow but great to see an unexpected covering here in Westhill too! 😊

Part of the A90 was similar to that (around Stonehavn) about half an hour ago. One of those driving at warp speed type effects with the snowflakes in the headlights!

[mistyqueen]

Well, we did have a few flurries of the white stuff, but it's been mainly sleet and hail. The OH informed me that we had a thunder and lightening storm during the night which explained why the alarm clock was flashing like billy oh this morning. I never heard a thing! Must have been in a really deep sleep. It is cauld though, needless to say I'm not very far from the fire. I hope the roads stay clear though as we're heading to Snecky on Tuesday to do the dreaded Chrissy shopping. I also see we're in for another wee puff or two next weekend. Welcome to winter, eh?

[heccygabber]

nothing here in east Kilbride, not even rain. zzzzz

[Blizzardo]

Temp down to 2.3c and dewpoint at 1.2C. Lots of heavy showers gathering to the west. Decent chance of me seeing some snow over the next couple of hours.

[Winter Cold]

Hey Scotland!

Im very very jealous haha, but enjoy the snow! :cold:
