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.

I hope so ?? @LomondSnowstorm I'm starting to get snow envy ?

It’s epic just bloody epic! Amazing! You can shove a lemon in my mouth and I would still be smiling  

We usually cook the chicken with one up its bum, never smiles

Looks pretty much like a rerun of the January 87 event I keep banging on about in Glasgow! 

Hoping Dundee can join in the fun a little bit, still stuck at 2cm here in the Ferry.

After a brief lull it's hammering down again here!

Unreal again! Visibility down to about 20m again! Probably the heaviest shower so far to be honest!!! Just great stuff. Not even worried about depths now - just enjoying this 

[mardatha]

I'm so sorry, I got so excited and the forum so busy that I've not been thanking people or giving them smilies. Consider yerselves all thanked, not had as much fun in ages lol

[Benvironment]

Dammit! It's doing it again!! Snow to the north of Fife, the south of Fife, the west of Fife and the east of Fife but bog-all in the middle. It was doing that this morning when I took this pic on Falkland Hill. Gawd it was cold!

[chemikal]

View from the pub. Sorry I meant work.

Heaviest snow I think I've ever seen just now!! If this keeps up for much longer @Hawesy will have been bang on the money!

Home now safe and sound, blizzard conditions outside, what a magnificent sight

The operators of Cairngorm, Glenshee and The Lecht ski centre must be scunnered seeing all this snow pile into the central belt and the Borders.  A few days ago it looked as though it would be them catching some of the heaviest snowfalls - looks like they have caught relatively little.

What sort of totals have you guys got thus far, before the red warning has came into play?

1987 is exactly what this has put me in mind of. In Glasgow at least it seems better than 2010 in terms of intensity.

12-15cm on hard surfaces, really hard to tell due to drifting.
