I've moved onto the laptop to just record this for prosperity - this is what a Red Alert is for:

I think I might be under that wee red blob in the middle - hard to tell!

Still 5 hours to go until my prediction deadline....looks like a very mixed bag, on balance more miss than hit. 

For a few folks I underestimated a bit, here’s looking at you @mardatha @Cheggers, among others. For a few more I don’t think I’ll be far out @snowy owl @Ruzzi but for most of the Fife, Perth and Dundee contingent I predicted way more than has fallen (barring a miracle). 

Im giving myself 4/10 at this stage, certainly not up to the standard of my predictions during the January events.

Still, it’s all just fun and I certainly don’t take myself seriously. Still, I’m puzzled as to why there’s been a relative dearth of snow around north Fife, Perth and Dundee so if more knowledgeable members such as @lorenzo @LomondSnowstorm Or @CatchMyDrift can shed light on this I’d be grateful (and it might get @edo off my back) 

The other thing I learned is, man, that Edinburgh contingent is demanding! I mean @101_North fair enough, I expect it, but it must be in the water! 

4/10

seriously????? 

 

only joking all fun.... i did have an epic 10 minute shower there... im still holding oit hope as euro4 looked decent for early hours

 

i will be measuring at midnight though igb and publishing

Yas!!! Like a blizzard outside.

I'm just 15 miles too far south for that. 

The Met Office have been on the money with this.

Full blown igloo has appeared in George Square, Glasgow . Pics courtesy a friend.

Another video from earlier, it was mental:

Tomorrow could be crazy too, more snow to come if the Euro4 is right and then the wind is to get up a little tomorrow afternoon which should drift the snow quite a bit. 

Your breathing is mental there, almost sounds like the wind!!

I'm pinning my hopes on that lad there that I've circled coming over the red dot. Hope nobody else is wanting it.
