What height is Glasgow airport? 

 

[Spindrift2017]

The airport is something like 10 metres above sea level - on flat low-lying land which is to the west of the city and not a great place for snow.  I doubt the temperature is that much different from here though.

Proper snow falling now

[JamesM]

Turning more to sleet here now. No obvious snowflakes, but you can see it as sleet when it hits the cars.

[NUT]

Can't take pics cause of dark but lying snow on cars and grass we have a white Christmas 

[Guest]

Brilliant to see some of you getting snow. its definitely trying to turn here. just see the odd big flake mixed in now. I look forward to seeing every bodies pictures in the morning.

[January Snowstorm]

Any reports near Dundee? 

[Ross B]

Sleet turning to snow here too, I'll count It! 

[edo]

nope left dundee an hour ago and was no sign of turning sleety

[Stormeh]

Merry Christmas everyone!

I don’t post here often but just letting you know that sleet has now turned to snow. Obviously it’s to wet to settle but I still class this as a white Christmas! 

[JamesM]

In the dying minutes before midnight - its snow! I book that as a white Christmas! 

[Guest]

Normally takes met office a couple of days to confirm official White Christmas locations, but it's sounding good from above reports and corresponding radar images over last few hours. Fingers xd

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Proper snow for about an hour now, covering the grass and cars so far! White Christmas in Inverclyde!! 

[colrobs]

Morning. Wet and sleet for the last hour in Cambuslang, mainly sleet. A friend in Wishaw has had heavy snow which turned to sleet but says the cars and grass are white. More to come ?.

[NUT]

It's still going cars have a nice covering now and still pretty heavy too 

[Big Innes Madori]

Well well!

Fell a sleep oan the chair and wakened up to it snawin?

Even though it had been raining for so long, everything is now nice and white. No sure if it snawed before midnight making it a white Christmas here?

Been slowly turning to snow on the back edge now pure snow but looking at radar for how much longer?

[Norrance]

Turned to snow here before midnight with a slushy covering so technically a white Christmas. Light snow now at 1C. At my brothers just North of Glasgow.

[101_North]

As expected there's snow at home

[Ruzzi]

A covering here in Peebles, but I'm informed that there's 5 inches back home in shotts... typical!! 

[mardatha]

Wokeup several times during the night and was all happy watching it snowing steadily, but woke up to a covering only. However the hills are white, the garden is white, the fiedls are white - so that makes it a white xmas for me. Curently 1C,
