to me it looks due east - the milder air at the back of it seems to be pushing it through more easterly...

But the question is trajectory.  Due east or ESE?

Due east in that screenshot please - you've had enough

Chucking it down here at the moment!

Hawesy,  you t!t,  you're fired!  Will never rely on your predictions again.......I already have the 2 1/2" inches you said I would get last night!

Yeah this current 'shower' is bonkers. There was 7cm this morning now it's up to 12cm already!! That's the most this week

[Ruzzi]

Wonder if they're being fed information or if they're just going on the initial amber warning. 

 

[Benvironment]

Looks like the M90 through Fife and Kinross is down to one lane.

[Ruzzi]

Looking more interesting for the central belt soon

 

[Hawesy]

Good to see the West Fife contingent getting some of the heavy stuff! I may have underdone your estimates. Man, who would be a weather forecaster! 

The earlier flurry here in St Andrews has long since fizzled out.

[Norrance]

Looks heavy over Kinross and Fife just now and radar shows a lot more to come.

[ghoneym]

Text says AMBER warning for central tayside and Fife yet the graphic shows it a no warning lol, think somebodies been on the drink over at the MetO

Yes, getting more organised, lets hope they intensify as they come through!

I think it's because this tiny wee bit runs into the central, tayside and fife region to be honest. Daft I know, but I think that's why.

Rain showers here all morning. Today doesn't look as promising as Tuesday despite similar uppers.

Incoming

 

If it could head Glasgow’s direction that’d be great. Everything is skirting around us here. 

[SW Saltire]

Been heavy snow here in Kincardine for a few hours, work is shutting in 20 mins due to it.... yaaassss

3/4 inches here, about an inch of new snow but quickly accumulating

[Benvironment]

14cm on the ground......meaning 7cm today and therefore sitting pretty around @Hawesy's 6cm prediction. Another good performance!

[edo]

getting reports very heavy in crieff area and it looks headed right for here..... gonna top @hawesy prediction as already had the 2cm he promised

great fun the predictor when u exceed it 

[edo]

PS i predicted a dusting so i know hee haw

[TinyTim]

Well... very heavy shower earlier had the roads in the town turn white.  Fingers crossed edo is correct and that more is on the way

Tim

[Rickoza]

Absolutely nothing thus far.  Hoping incoming does the business.

[over_the_rainbow]

lightly snowing in Scone now

[Kayemill]

I'm told main roads are white again in Newmilns.

[GraemeB]

Seems to be missing Glasgow and the main motorways and sitting about 15 miles north of the central belt...

[Kayemill]

Seems to be a more organised area coming into Ayrshire now too.

Heavy sleet in Prestwick.

[Benvironment]

The hill road's fun just now
