"Met Office issues first ever 'red alert' for Scotland" haven't Scotland had a red wind warning before?

For wind yes, not for snow as far as I know

What? Old Perth outside the red warning? :nonono: Happy with yellow or amber but would like some more snaw pretty please :)

Yep, just missed us by a couple of miles looks like... but, that looks accurate, as has been very little here for the past few hours... but, I'm still banking on the experts in here thinking there is more tonight, so still running on hope for now :)

Def a red warning for snow in 2010, but it was removed some hours before its time-stamp arrived.

I'd feel much more excited about this red warning if I didn't have a niece working in North Berwick currently trying to convince her boss to let her drive home early to a village along the coast road.... :( 

Other niece and this niece's boyfriend got let out from their works early, but little niece's boss seems to be totally thick. Grr.

Snow back on here and looks like a streamer might be setting up ... would tally with the warnings ...

The irony is that Edinburgh is slap-bang in the middle of the red area. The snaw-gods are taking the p1ss now surely.

Heavy snow here at work in Greenock. Can never remember seeing anything like this in Greenock at sea level in the 14 years I have worked here.

Waiting to hear if we are going to close. Drive home will be very difficult.

Welcome from Yorkshire. We're doing alright down here, but nothing compared to what you guys are getting at the moment, and look likely to get for the rest of the afternoon.

I'm Interested in knowing what depths you've got so far? And an idea of drift sizes? About 10cm here, most of which fell in about an hour this morning. Added to the 5cm we got yesterday, so not bad!

There was a red warning for snow, back on Sunday December 19th 2010 - proof! But they're saying this is a 'new system' so perhaps that was the previous system

Phillip Schofield just announced on This Morning Red Danger to life warning for central Scotland.  High population areas in firing line

Gaps between white outs reducing now. Getting near constant. 

This is moving into epic territory now

Yes, had about 10min break here and the sun came out.   Back on again now though and that has been from 10am basically.:)

Looks like thumping down fog!:D
