Just now, 101_North said:

Best single day of snowfall in a long time! And check the radar - it's not finished yet! 

Yeah the radar is still loaded.

Really should go to bed though !

[101_North]

Last one from me for tonight! Meant to post this earlier! Part of what made today was the kids being off school and sharing the weather with them. They'll remember it for years. And I'll remember "Dad can I go out and play one last time before bed"

perths name on that?? what times that Ruzzi 

That's the fax for 12pm Thursday but I'd presume that it will begin to make headway across the country prior to that.

Can I ask what that things is just off the north coast?? and does it mean I'm set for a total tonking??

That's one of them prickly troughs, only seen during the best wintry spells ??‍♂️ 

Or in other words, mate I don't have a bloody clue ? It's a trough of some description, I just don't know what the prickles on it mean 

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Never mind feet deep snaw, inches deep snaw or cm deep snaw how about plantpot deep snaw! 

Next band incoming on radar 

[Ruzzi]

In relation to that trough I mentioned for tomorrow that was showing on the fax charts, the MetO radar forecast shows it up quite nicely aswell 

first image is 9am, second is 12pm

 

[Norrance]

Finally got a proper streamer here. Belting down or should I say across with our heaviest snow yet.

Can go to sleep happy now.

[Stormeh]

Seen some new warning signs around town when out a walk today

Stay safe people!

[A Winter's Tale]

23cm so far - the highest total since 2010, and the largest snowfall since either 28th November 2010 or 12th March 2006. Adding all the previous events this winter together only just surpasses the snow currently in the ground. A maximum temperature of -3C at Glasgow airport - since 1973, the third February ice day (-1C 16th 1979, 0C 3rd 2010), the latest ice day recorded aswell as the coldest maximum recorded in February or the second half of winter in the last 45 years. Some end to the meteorological winter.

[CameronWS]

Been horrendous/brilliant here tonight. A good 10 cm minimum and the road up to the Naval Base loooks to be getting near being cut off. Could be major issues in the morning if people have to get there.

[lassie23]

How much snow has there been in the red warning

[Stuart Taylor]

If you are still up and able to do so and it is safe to do so you should get out a wee walk just now, it's beautiful. Very rare to have the streets to myself and unlike anything I've ever seen in Motherwell before.

Depends on the area of the red warning, my location has had just over a foot give or take.

[Cheggers]

I am famous, trending on social media as a snow angel, and just been on BBC 5 Live

[dragan]

this current streamer is absolutely mental, just when you think things can’t get worse....it gets taken up a notch or 3

 

[Norrance]

We are back in a gap again here now. One streamer to the North in Angus into N Perthshire and another into Fife to our South. ?

Just a little movement one way or the other please to get us back in the game.

[NUT]

Another massive whiteout probably the worst it's been yet. Welcome to Spring folks

[clappy80]

Normally so annoying when you wake in the middle of the night for a pee but awesome tonight! The snow is coming in sideways. Had 12inches at 8pm (near Peebles). Earlier tyre tracks are covered on the road so I'm thinking there must be a few more inches already. Don't want to be the mad neighbour out at 4.30am measuring so will have to wait until the morning to update. 

Family arrived from Belfast yesterday a good few hours before M80 became blocked, they're amazed with the snow. Unfortunately, husband stayed in Edinburgh as needs to be in work, hopefully he'll.get home on Fri! 

-I'm a lurker normally but it's been brilliant past few weeks reading everyone getting excited and then now the snow has arrived reading all the posts! 

[GraemeB]

OMG - we've had a huge amount of snow in Stirling - there must well over a foor of snow lying here and we're about to get smashed again according to the radar.

 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Just looked on the radar and there’s more coming through from the east??! Outside is just untouched dunes of snow on the road. No cars in the streets for hours.

The area to the north of the Central belt corridor looks like it’s been pasted.
