Getting there with a decent covering now and still coming down. Very good considering the ground was totally soaked an hour ago! 

 

tried to upload a photo but the new forum software doesn't like it yet.

Just seen a tweet saying Soutra's closed in both directions.

That'll be the trail of destruction left by SS.

All but drizabone here...

Well, that was unexpected.

Sleet when I left work W. Embra. Turned to heavy lying snaw on the higher part of the City Bypass. Then back again to snaw A68 Pathhead all the way to the other side of Soutra at Oxton.

Plenty of cars and even a lorry unable to ascend Soutra; wheels just spinning. After I while I just drove past them all in the deeper snow in the space between the two lanes there.

Some geezer beeped at me so I beeped back. He was in a '4 x 4' Chelsea tractor, I'm guessing with motorway tires on so less than useless. I'm guessing he was miffed at me happily overtaking him and all the stuck traffic.

I love winter tyres.

Oh, and sadly just lashin doon with a bit of sleet mixed in here at fort SS. Seems the colder air is north of the Hills in the Forth Valley. Not unusual in this type of set-up.

 

You got home in time, Soutra is now closed due to snow and cars stuck on the road.

Well, glad I did my cheeky wee overtaking! Quite a trip to get home by other ways.

EDIT turned more to sleet now instead of mainly rain with some sleet. Even a layer of sleet building on the grass it so heavy.

Very heavy now and everything is covered.  The roads are a nightmare surrounding here apparently.

Nice surprise leaving work. Puts up umbrella , umbrella breaks. 

Two minutes later turns to sleety snow at Edinburgh Park. Heavier out in West Lothian.

Big fat train station lamp post pic attached !

Ok, I can class it as falling and lying snaw now here at fort SS.

T continues to drop; now 1.4 C down from 2.5 C when I got home earlier.

Gonna be slippery the morn if this all freezes up! :diablo:

Not a patch on Lorenzo's contributions, but an hour ago it was torrential rain here, so fairly impressive change.

Great to see some are enjoying a rather unexpected snowfall with accumulations in places. It's not been too bad a start to season despite some pretty mild temperatures as there's already been a fair amount of snow events and I suppose some eastern parts are making up for missing out on some of the action last year. Looking ahead, although nothing substantial is currently on the cards, I'm feeling quietly optimistic about a pattern more conducive to cold and snow emerging sometime around or after mid-month.

Pretty much done here I think. Currently back to sleety rain now that the ppn intensity has dropped. Over an inch but I wonder how much will survive the night?

A really nice surprise 4hrs+ of snow :)
