Best shower of the whole spell in the Ferry! :) @Sawel too.

Yes some cracking showers this afternoon. Was going to have walk up at Backmuir but snow drifting across the road so went to Riverside instead. Snow even drifting down at sea level. Snow came back on just as we finished. Some pics but from phone so maybe not that clear.  Edit . First photo not Riverside.

Yup think it's sinking your way. First time I've been able to see the Fife Coast in for quite a while,  so looks like some kind of clearance here "this side of the convergence". I could be talking sh1te though !

Just starting here now.

Hopefully it can make it here but most showers have died out before reaching here. I am not moaning but I would like to watch the footprints fill in again :D

Still a lot of showers here and the wind is blowing it like sand, the hills and fields look misty and fluffy with it :) Feeling a lot colder now, first time I've felt cold since this started.

 I'm hoping that big long one you guys to the south of Edinburgh are getting is going to make it to Motherwell, think it's just going to skirt us to the north though, does anyone else find themselves spending an unhealthy amount of time trying to track showers and replaying the previous hour over and over to try and convince themselves it will track over them? 

It's infuriatingly addictive.

It goes from "ah, I think that's the end of the snow" to "ah, I think it's the end of the world" in 60 seconds.

Even once the worst of the snow showers die back we've still got a cold outlook ahead. The SSW has delivered heartily.

Aye. To be honest though I'd be just as happy if we could somehow flip to an early and warm spring. It's felt like a long winter and a cold March and April would be really dragging things out. Regardless, the models/outlook appear cold for the foreseeable, and most of this snaw could still be hanging about for ages in March for anywhere that has some reasonable elevation.

Aye, it's fair blawin a hoolie; sucking the heat from the hoose.

Whiteoot here again, but I can't work out whether I'm getting new snaw, or it's just some of @CatchMyDrift's snaw passing through on it's way over to you. :)
