[ghoneym]

Thanks for including me @Hawesy  looking at the Arpege and Hirlam precipitation charts 12z update I'm hoping for more than 1cm, fingers crossed!

wrong chart

[edo]

lets be clear if my snow does not appear then @hawesy will be getting blamed for over ramping this

 

I was in the SE regional thread earlier now if you think the MT is bad for moaning take a butchers in there

Awwww look @101_North don't say you weren't warned that you're getting nothing tonight:

It's almost like I drew the chart myself based on previous experience

[lorenzo]

Current position and an Arpege Gif, looks like the early hours for many. Good luck all!

Spotted a beeb Map of overnight temps on twitter, GFS 0.25 version below, would have Nathan Rao believing he is Dennis Quaid.

I do believe I’m in the other central belt green patch there! There must be a big hill to the north-west sheltering this place that I’ve never noticed before   Maybe the old bing in Bellshill...

[lorenzo]

Good shout - replace them with fake news.

[Livet Laddie]

Hi all, just joined Netweather. Looks like most will get some of the white stuff tonight.....?❄️

[Hawesy]

A couple of additional predictions:

@Spindrift2017 2cm

@Mandy Langlands Trace/Dusting (I’m afraid you live too close to me!) 

@ciel is duly added to the list of members still waiting on a measurable snowfall this winter @Hawesy & @aggy

Some of the models seem to show the back end of the front producing rain as it departs the east coast.  Is that likely?  Might melt my 1 cm 

Yeah I saw that. Not sure but it looks like perhaps more of an issue north of Inverness? I saw @Hairy Celt is up at Thurso and I’m afraid he’s more likely see rain up there overnight.  Though hopefully will then see some snow showers tomorrow to compensate!

[Ross B]

The front looks pretty strong still...

[Cheggers]

Please let it be enough to halt my trip back to the weeg, am on an ITIL course, and not sure I could stay awake another day.

Grey day today, went out at lunch and was through to the bone cold

[Stormeh]

I am still learning about the models and only just started learning about  the upcoming SSW. The models could make for interesting viewing over the next few weeks. Let’s hope this SSW delivers for Western Europe and brings us some deep cold and snow for the UK

That's the straightest band of precip I've ever seen, wait till it hits the Clyde snow shield!

Yay !!!! a Cm !!!! 

[Hairy Celt]

Best thing about tonight is that it precedes tomorrow, when I shall go home and find the gate inaccessible due to drifts a melting dusting. Wednesday might be better - down towards Newtonmore probably.

[Mr Frost]

Evening all!

Hope everyone had a good day!

This is it ladies and gents - another snow event! (obviously a small one but more people at risk which is fantastic!) Much better to have everyone on this thread at risk of a dusting rather than just one or two areas! 

Just about to make a hot chocolate, adjust the blinds for the perfect view of the orangey/red/pink sky and of course so I can view the lamp-post in all it’s falling snowflakes glory. 

Whether it be 1cm or 6cm - it will still always be the same to me...exciting, joyful, cherished childhood memories and sheer white mesmerising scenes! 

Cheers!

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Looks like about 3cm for me going by those totals. 

[igloo]

Well im sitting patiently awaiting the snaw as its makes it way at snails pace should be here at 10pm but im not sure if there will be anything worthwhile once it gets here its disintigration as it moves south untill it arrives i will watch the fitba

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Just a thought, will Glasgow be the snowiest city in Britain & Ireland by the end of this winter? Another decent snowfall this week will make it three for the winter.

Perhaps only Inverness has had more?

[ghoneym]

Current radar pic & current temps via my Netatmo map. Doesn't quite look cold enough yet out west for that band to be of the pink variety?

Dont worry anywhere from 10 miles from the coast will be snaw but it doesnt look that heavy even here i dont expect anymore than 2 inches

[Stormeh]

Seems to be getting very light and patchy, I don’t think it will come to much?

Certainly looks that way on the radar. We will see soon I suppose.

[101_North]

Quick Hawesy - I reckon you've time to change your chart to mm before anyone notices

[igloo]

It doesnt look like any snaw from this band will even make it across the border to england it looks more and more likely our freinds from the midlands will get nothing once again this week after al there high hopes in the MOD thread o dear
