Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion - 16/01/2018 Onwards

[frogesque]

Back from shop, bacon, egg and black pud for brecky. Dog whining for me to take him out. Have to wait 'till I've finished my tea!

Here comes the streamer, can see the clouds rolling in!

"Daddy, a beanbag has burst in the garden - look at all those beads" - weather digest from a six year old.

Snow total up to 2 inches now, the most recent showers being mainly snow pellets - readily blowing around in the wind.  Temperature overnight was down to -6C and now hovering around -2C.

Roads here are clear - local farmer was out at 03:15 this morning clearing the road past our house, dedication for you.

Thought there would be more than 2" of snow by now to be honest going by the radar images last night up to now - looks like a significant streamer hitting the area just to the north of Inverurie, the sky is black and ominious in that area.

15cm here in the western Borders. And here's the A701.  No-one has driven that for a long time...

Vindicated ! I made the right decision to stay home. Even as I was driving back home to Moffat past Tweedsmuir last night, small drifts were already blowing through gates onto the white road. I can imagine there'll be some much more chunky drifts now.

[Duncan McAlister]

Just a dusting here, apparently Prestwick have been getting more of the action. My niece is annoyed the school isn't shut.

[Cheggers]

It is brutal outside now, main road tracks covering up within seconds

Liked this one from Facebook in Dunkeld.

The family followed on in the original video.

What do you think the chances are for a red warning in central Scotland? 

[Sunny Leith]

Right this greetin-faced soor-pussed toys-oot-the-pram man-child is going out into the snaw. The point is to enjoy it isn't it, not to sit here behind the keyboard all day pointlessly ranting at radar and isobars. Anyway @101_North and @JoeShmoe can keep up the high-quality Edinburgh whining in my absence . Enjoy the snaw everyone !

[GraemeB]

Stirling about to get walloped....

[WhiteXmas]

Just stared here again now. Snow is falling off the trees like dust, such powdery snow. -3c here and I estimate there must be around 4-6 inches at the moment. To think this isn’t even the main event for here yet and there’s potentially another 15-20cm plus yet to come! Also it’s that cold here, there are 4 inch icicles hanging from above the front door. 

 

Dare I say it but this feels a little like 09/10 ?

[Stormeh]

Oh the weather ootside is frightful But the central heating is so delightful Since av nae place tae go Let it snaw, let it snaw, let it snaw!

[Quinach]

Some impressive snow photos on Fubar News just now - https://www.facebook.com/FubarNews

Driving north of Inverurie is a no-no by the looks of things.

[NUT]

About zero I would think unless I'm missing something.

Oh well guess I'm stuck in work all day then ? Would only send us home under a red warning. Roads around here are terrible but still loving this snow ❄️❄️❄️

[jamieson87]

Looks like some snow in East Lothian is now Edinburgh bound. We can but hope.

[Snowlover2]

Looks so lovely outside.

You really have ended up in a sweet spot this winter. I'm not really that far away and I haven't had nearly half the snow that you have. Roll on my move this summer...further inland and and additional 150m of height should help.

[JoeShmoe]

Hibs game off ... not sure why !

back in my day etc ...

[Cheggers]

Glasgow airport runway still closed, until at least 10:30.

[JoeShmoe]

How can the weegies have more than us in an Easterly ... grrrrr :-)
