Finally got rid of them! The sleeping one's I have no issue with but there's always the same 'once a year drinker' to wind me up tight 

Anyway lovely day with the kids being spoilt rotten!! Wind picking up, temp going down. Potential there for snow showers tomorrow morning..... You never know!

[Norrona2015]

Aye aye, sleets hammering against the windows now and the winds picked up again. Better have another drink in case the power goes out.

Chewing bloody drawing pins now - checked latest output and the low 850 temps have been modified and shortened so I'd now be surprised to see snow at all...

The reverse psychology route now.. I hope it's fruitful 

Picked up again here and we're white outside

Lampost watching here and we have have sideways snaw!

So does this count as a technical white Christmas for the city centre of Inverness!! 

[Norrona2015]

Wow 2016 is really ending as it started by taking another great.

Got really wild outside again, and yes still pishing it doon.

[Hairy Celt]

Light sleet in the showers, freezing on hard surfaces between showers. Temp between 1C and 2C - and enough for tonight...

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Well Port Glasgow, Inverclyde sort of had a white Christmas! A sleety snow shower was flew past so I'm taking that!! 

[mistyqueen]

Gettn' breezy oot noo! Temp dropped quickly last night and we had some hail showers. Same through the night, could hear it rattling off the roof. Snow for some today, enjoy!

[Northernlights]

0.5c with snow showers and a covering

[Ravelin]

1.9C and no evidence of any snow lying, not a surprise given the mid teens temps yesterday warming the ground. Too early to stand and stare out of the window as the next band on the radar comes through. 

[101_North]

Heavy snow shower at the minute. Settling a bit but has been very wet overnight. Nice to see though :-)

A rare beast in recent times, the UKMO on board with a cold spell?

If this follows usual patterns it'll be more and more epic charts for the next three days and then another implosion.

GFS sort of collapses the ridge over us, leaving us with a high so although likely cold, not sure how snowy. 

[Sunshineandshowers84]

Heavy snow shower in Glasgow at 6:30 even blizzard like but too wet nothing lying could be different story in outlying areas..

[Ravelin]

Don't, I repeat don't look at the ECM model run this morning, not if you want to preserve your sanity. 

Oh,  I can't help myself, it ends like this... 

Now that would be nice, but a long way out so for sanity's sake don't get too excited. 

[Hairy Celt]

1C and a thin layer of frozen slush, just on the car. Back to bed with tea and ibuprofen.

[Norrona2015]

Morning, hope the hangovers aren't to bad. Woke up to heavy snow and a welcome white landscape this morning. Looking at the sky, I suspect there's a lot more to come. Fairly gusty already making it feel raw outside.

[101_North]

Horizontal heavy snow now. Settling briefly. 

[snowidea]

Kids woke us when they fed the cats and informed us it was "snowing like crazy". It had stopped by the time I looked out of the window but there's a small dusting on the cars.

[Norrona2015]

If only we had this yesterday....

 

[Richard Taylor]

Merry Christmas everyone. We have snaaaaaa'........... and lying. What a change in 24hrs!!
