Have to say that the anticipation of how good this could be, alongside the fear of how disappointing it could be, is wrecking my head!

Aye, ditto. I'm feeling some re-assurance now that the wind has just turned back to due East at Edin Airport. Previous 14 hours it's been WSW, NW, variable, NNE etc while this isobaric/frontal kink has worked it's way through (and given me nothing better than damp pavements). If it takes the rest of the day for the flow, uppers to get properly established then so be it.

Light dusting here in Thornton. Snow showers blowing through but nothing too serious. Going out with the dog in a bit so will get a feel for that wind chill. Sun breaking through atm.

Got a bit nippy during the night, down to -4.7c. Been a long time since it was the cauld! My weather station is currently showing the snow icon. What a little liar! ?

Whats the link to the latest uppers ?

I don't have those but the last 12 hours had us in that isobaric kink showing around -8 or -9 uppers in these parts - that's a wee bit too close for comfort in Leith and probably Duddingston. Forecast was always that the down to -15 uppers would rattle in from the east as the day progresses.

Got a wee bit of a bad feeling about tomorrow just now for the central belt. Flow seems to have changed to bit more south of easterly, which to my eye would take the worst of it towards Stirling area? 

Anyone want to give me some technical reassurance? 

@CatchMyDrift ???

I'm a wee bit twitchy on that as well. Would make me less coastal (just at the very point I want to be coastal!) and put me 40-50 miles away from potential convective landfall around Berwick-Upon-Tweed and with 1500ft of The Lammermuirs in between.

If it goes wrong here I won't be able to show my face in Leith for weeks, even promised a pals wee girl that she'd definitely absolutely be able to go sledging. Oh the shame of it if I mess up... :wallbash:

It’s great to see so many snow reports already, the real fun and games will start later tonight and tomorrow.

Euro4 looks good to me @Ruzzi:)

Doesn't look too shabby, settling the nerves a little lol. Still does look a fair bit lighter across the central belt when compared with south-east Scotland, eastern parts and central Scotland. Cumbernauld / Stirling do look in a prime position from tomorrow onwards

Steady those nerves now people! :)

@Paul Martin quite right - those -9/-10c uppers don't cut it for coastal areas in an easterly set up but we should be sub -12c this afternoon (with lowering thicknesses) - which I'm more comfortable with.

Having said that the C, T & F Met O forecast still puts us in th grey zone overnight....but I'm choosing to ignore that. :D

Tonight:

Scattered snow showers this evening, these becoming more frequent and heavy later in the night with some accumulations especially away from the coasts. Strengthening winds and feeling bitterly cold. Minimum temperature -8 °C.
