[Deep Snow please]

Keeping a beady eye on the Scottish weather thread. 

Appears quite serious amounts of snow falling and absolute traffic chaos. Hopefully a sign of whats to come tonight; if so our local gritters better be out.

[itsnowjoke]

Still got rain 

[northwestsnow]

Flakes blowing around now, the greens seem to be turning pink just as they reach this locale but the showers are so few and far between and its very wet so absolutely no chance of anything sticking.

We will need a massive injection of life into the radar after dinner time.

Beginning to look like euro4 was right afterall.

Just sleet and hail here. These showers needs to get organised and prolonged here for snow!!

Everything that stuck before have melted now.

Have to say the Radar returns are disappointing.

Promising for the rest of us that your getting snow this early.

Heavy sleet/wintry mix here.

[northwestsnow]

The BBC weather app is absolutely useless..

[cheshire snow]

 We’ll start seeing showers like that once the colder air and steeper lapse rates arrive this afternoon.

Hope your right chris - your a knowledgable chap, think most us are hoping you are because unless we see that sea come to life soon its a total non event!!

[Wardlegacy]

Everything that is falling from the sky is snow. The problem is there is hardly anything falling, just a few flakes in the breeze. Still a covering of hail on my roof light from 4am this morning 

[Chris.R]

 Starting temp/dewpoint checks now. 

 Currently 5.0/2.2. 

[Deep Snow please]

Just seen snowflakes in the sky, not that they're making landfall.
