...Couple of days of clear, cold northerly fare and then I can start looking at the charts for further disappointment potential.

ECM 240??

2-3cm of snow here overnight off that band. Above zero now looking outside, but not much and cover holding well, even on the road.

Looking like it's going to be nearer the end of the month now before we can even hope for something similar as nothing remotely promising on the models in the coming week to 10 days. 

Snow shower currently swirling around here in a strong wind,  but still 2.3C so struggling to lie.

Morning cauld Kilties! Well, we were lucky to get a few cm's of snaw yesterday, nothing much to get excited about. A clear sky around 10pm and I knew that was our lot for yesterday. Just had a mini blizzard there for all of 5 minutes and the sky is trying to clear. It was nice while it lasted! Temp currently 1.4c.

<Drum roll>

Ladies and gentlemen, much to my amazement we have about 3cm of snow here at sea level in Broughty Ferry. After a six year wait, I finally have snow on the ground! (Will need to find out about conditions in Crail).

:D:D:D:D:D

This really highlights how poor this spell was for round here but is surely worthy of a further drum roll :yahoo::D:drunk::clap::drinks:

So..... who else got pretty much nothing? Surely not just me and JoeShmoe?

Woke up around 4.30am and you couldn't see across the road for a powdery blizzard.   Mild sector must have kicked in tho' and removed what had fallen but left me with nearly the same amount as I had yesterday morning.   Not as cold though at 2.7c currently.

Don't think the southeasterners are all that happy by the sounds of it.

Woke to find the covering of snow we did have completely disappeared.     4 degrees and wet.       To be fair,  the Meto forecast was spot on for this area.     Heres hoping its spot on for tonight/tomorrow as we are in for some snow.

Looked VERY promising on radar last night (and indeed after 2 in the morning it was blowing a hoolie) but then a hole appeared...............and got absolutely nothing in the end

Heavy snow showers rattling through now on a strong wind. Attempting to lie here in Dyce despite the temperature (3C), but what does manage it will melt as soon as it eases off.

Woke up this morning to find the mild sector had done its work to whatever fell overnight. Snawcover fairly trashed and ice everywhere you don't want it.

In the end, really just a typical Scottish cauld snap and all a bit meh here. 

By the sounds of things, the TOORPing Outreach Centre is best avoided this morning...

Currently 2.9C/-2C and some sunshine on the go.

There was very little in Motherwell - a thin layer of wet snow on most surfaces early yesterday which partially thawed and then froze into a hazardous icy glaze on the pavements.

Have spent most of the time in EK, which has a decent covering, and got to see some thundersnow, so that has made it feel more wintry.

Contrast to @Northern Strath  :rofl:

Heavy sleet and a max of 3C earlier, dropping slowly again and now at 1C. Latest shower was more like snow again although I think DP will be a bit high just yet. Hopefully more showers to come to bury the carnage...

Well if we're moving on to trying to find the next 'cold spell' that probably won't be up to much then this mornings GFS 6z run provides us with it....

I'm not going to get excited quite yet, if fact given the winter so far I doubt anything much on the models will get me excited unless it looks like 'the day after tomorrow'.

Snow warnings that were in place for the east coast tomorrow now dropped.     

Still got an ice warning covering most of the UK, which also includes the mention of snow.

"Ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces especially where showers of sleet, snow and hail occur. 2 to 4cm of snow may affect low lying areas of Scotland, with 5 to 10cm over higher ground. Elsewhere, 1 to 2cm is locally possible."

Had about 20cms since 5pm last night so the we got a pasting, plenty digging this morning, nice easy snow to shovel, some drifting from snow blowing off the roof. Haven't been out locally yet but will hopefully manage some pics later, bins will do for now

 

Someone throw  @Hawesy in the model thread, his forecast depth for here by tomorrow is looking pretty bang on

 

Nothing like a bit of blind luck!:D Besides I think I got it wrong for a few others on the kilted thread!:oops:

Nice day here now. The low dew point is preserving snow cover away from the direct sunshine.

What was your prediction for me?
