Well I'm not really sure what else I can add to the thread but here's some photos of what has been absolutely epic for here today. 

I cant find anywhere in the garden less than a foot deep, and that includes the front, back and side gardens and driveway. 

In fact @Hawesy, the shallowest depth I could find was between 13 and 14 inches so about 34cm.

There is a full patio set with chairs under this

And this is the shallowest depth I could find in the entire garden:

The drifts at the side of the house are clearing the 4 foot mark

Well...

Snowing here, but blowing around in the wind... last measurement was about 4cm, so I suppose I should be satisfied as its creeping towards the 2 inches I said I'd be happy with :)

Still gobsmacked at some of the depths elsewhere though and feel solidarity for the rest of the Perth contingent as we're all suffering together ;)

Brief showers been the order of the day and nothing since 5pm - most of the activity seems to have been to the north and south of here.

Surprisingly temperature has remained around -4C since 4pm - wind has dropped markedly and the sky is clear so was expecting a rapid drop in temperature.

It's a bright moon tonight allowing the lying snow to sparkle quite wonderfully.

Yep hammering down again! I'll be very close to @Hawesy prediction at this rate. In fact the street outside is around 20cm level already!

Yip @TinyTim ? I hoped to beat 2010 but looks like we're lucky to get 6cm at the rate ?

Yes, was hoping for that too, especially after all the build up.  But hey-ho, I'm not bitter *sobs at the lack of snow* At least being in here has helped ease the pain :)

The showers could not be any more perfectly aligned across the Central Belt! Perfect Forth - Clyde Streamer.

Good call meto.
