Look at this FAX chart and then look at the radar animation. You can see the convergence lines as streamers on the radar, let the animation play a few times. They seem to be sinking south and tilting more onto a straight W-E axis at the same time. Any one else see different? Radar can be so hard to see properly sometimes.

I think you're right.   We appear to lose the one over central Fife to the south but may gain the one over Dundee later?   Maybe complete balderdash from me.  Not very good with faxes.   You hoping for a hit from this?

"Probably" ! The line that was aiming at East Neuk of Fife at about 12:40 on the radar, now seems to be aiming to North Berwick at 14:25. Probably thats why we've now started seeing a bigger concentration of them getting through to Edinburgh as @JoeShmoe suggested.

yep, but whereas yesterday our trajectory was Dunbar-Edinburgh-M8, now its more Eyemouth-Edinburgh-Linlithgow ..

that last shower was immense - hopefully thats the train started up again :-)

Edit. that bad boy thats just hit Eyemouth / Coddingham is going to be a beauty if it stays intact ;-)

I agree, I was just thinking myself that those lines of showers matched the charts, and that the northern one at least was very slowly sinking south. Knowing my luck it'll get as far south as @More Snowbefore running out of steam. 

agree the lines of convergence are slowly sinking south and agree more snow will nick all our snow again cant see it sinking too far south though with the low approaching the south west of england

Still tracking just a tad too far north of here. We're catching the edges and although they are heavy they aren't lasting more than a few minutes.

Possibly the line is sinking towards you as well. Although JoeShmoe and I would be perfectly happy for it to stall right here for an hour or two ! :D

Edit: talcum powder whiteout is back.

Our street is still pretty useless unless you have a 4x4

Convergence line sitting right over Edinburgh now :D

Looks like it's moving south pretty quickly though...

Also maybe got a slightly south of east to a slighly north of west tilt to it though. Certainly it's doing the business here just now and would like it stay for 30 minutes at least !!

I don't think it will be too long before we are back in the game.

Noticed that the local home-met stations have dropped a couple of degrees again in the past hour, although the fact that it's snowing again is probably explanation enough.

Wow! Heaviest snow yet of this spell here :D 

Today could potentially end up being more severe than yesterday for whoever the convergence line decides to settle on.

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 !
