Wow what a blizzard there was for about half an hour! Think that deposited around 2 or 3 cm. 

Looks like there's a snow streamer setting up just south of Edinburgh. Hoping it starts moving north! 

Edit: Looks like 2 snow streamers are setting up. Quite impressive how Edinburgh managed to be just between both of them

Get the camera out and get us some pics! Sounds like an Artic tundra up your way

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Edinburgh. In the middle of the red warning area, sat in between 2 streamers on the radar, and catching the clearer area in between thats moving west. Truly we couldn't make it up

SNAWMAGGEDON - GETTING UTTERLY PASTED HERE !!!!

Same here!! Serious Snaw.

[sn0wman]

That snow streamer south of Edinburgh has its eyes on Glasgow! Could be really severe there.

[colrobs]

The bands of snow on the radar either side of the Forth look epic. Keep coming my way !

Near Tullynessle, which is to the north of Alford, half way up Sui hill.

I’m just the other side of the Sui in kennethmont,like more snow had pretty decent amount of days of snow here as well.Its amazing how the snowy conditions change once across the railway line at insch,wee bit of altitude makes all the difference when the snows marginal

ANOTHER whiteout might be thinking about JCB digging us out territory (that last happened during the epic December 2010)

11cm - the best since 2010...so far.

Right bang in the middle of the red! After what's fallen so far and what's still to come, not surprised!

[101_North]

Anywhere between 12-14cm level and over 30 in the drifts! Epic stuff!

She is somewhere en route on the coast road in this, west of North Berwick... 

Hurrah, Niece and her boyfriend have safely reached home. 

Although Boyf has now had to go back out in the Red Warning as it turns out Older Niece decided to go out driving in it. I shall be having words with her. She has the right, as does everyone, to risk her own life but this is needlessly risking other people's lives... grrrr!

Stay safe, everyone...!

There's a slight lull in proceedings here as the Forth snow monster gobbles up the showers and sends them hurtling through the Central Belt. I'm not too worried though - for a start we've already done pretty well (hard to get a level depth because of the drifting but my average depth was 13cm, as low as 8cm in places and as high as 20cm in some drifts) but also both the EURO4 and the NMM take the zone of prolonged pasting northwards from around 3-4pm while there's still easily enough to keep the fun going in the southern part of the red warning area. This is a very slow moving, intense feature hence the red warning but if you're a bit north of it I still think you should be in for a decent snowfall later on this evening and into tomorrow.

[mardatha]

Steady heavy snaw since just after 1 o'clock and still going..
