Temp has dropped to 0.6C and a few point of -1.3C and heavy snow which is now beginning to lie despite everything being saturated half an hour ago. 10 minutes ago is the biggest snow flakes I have ever seen. Still big now and still heavy. 

Strange that it's snowing here and just rain or sleet in other areas of the central belt when usually this is one of the few places that sees rain when it's snowing everywhere else.

 

Edit: well I say beginning to lie, I mean on grass, cars, top of the huts etc. The ground is slushy but will turn white soon if it keeps going

Snow hammering down again! Really frustrating day as in even very slightly modified circumstances we'd have had an utter pasting.

I was driving through Bishopbriggs earlier and the snow was was wet but heavy with huge flakes. Here there is a bit of interest with a heavier band of showers moving in from the east and the temperature down a bit on this morning. 2.5c/1.4c.

Thankfully it's dried up here after a miserable morning. Breezy with the odd patch of blue sky appearing, 4.2c.

Really very heavy again and flakes are huge!

Is there much snow on the Campsies?  Was hoping to fit in a quick walk there tomorrow.  Radar suggests they've picked up some snow.

Sounds good.  Interesting that it's No2 that melts down - it's usually No3 or No4 from what I've seen of bigger families (we stopped at No2).

I've been trying to rustle up some enthusiasm from my 2 for tomorrow's potential and got nothing but 'yeah Dad' and 'won't be a snow day on Monday tho will it, never mongoosing is these days'.

Good 3cm now.  I take it all back. Could be our best fall of the winter.

:rofl:Still chuckle everytime I read mongoose.....no2 is very intelligent and borderline spectrum I think although the computer says no.....weirdly number 3 and 4 are far more chilled despite being younger...first time the youngest has had a real ball in the snow today....hes not 3 till August but took great delight in pounding me with snowballs which made me happy...although passing on the love of snow may be a curse if this global warming continues and gives us not an ice age but a mongoose age

Get a bit of a northerly slant on the easterly now which can only be good.

Though the flow seems to be getting blocked and splitting so maybe I'll keep shut....

Now turned to sleety pish. What a frustrating day! 6hrs of falling snow, sometimes very heavy, and pretty much nothing to show for it!

Yes. It's been marginal for me with wet snow off and on for the last few hours but I'm only about 75m asl. The hills above me look to be taking a bit of a pasting though so I'd expect there will be a fair amount of snow tomorrow.

Drove through a fair bit of that weather today.

Had a 21st last night in Kirkcaldy (surprised i wasn't stabbed tbh) and so drove Kirkcaldy to Stirling and then down to Dumfries.

Was snowing in Kirkcaldy when we set off but snowline was mainly above the road level. Nothing in Stirling as per usual but inbetween Glasgow and Stirling it was very snowy. Cumbernauld area was a whiteout and the motorway had tracks of sludge on it, a one point some roads at the sides looked like they had a good few inches on them. However, as quick as i hit where the snow was really falling and lying, i drove out of it. Before Glasgow. All within 22 miles. 

 

As i've said previously, falling and even lying snow has been good this winter. Lasting snow and cold has been very poor. So passable but not one to remember (at this late stage)
