Scotland/Alba Weather Discussion 2019

[Cheggers]

Just in from a trip to Bargeddie, and it is raining, but seems to be turning a slushy mess on the pavement. Tomorrow going to be fun on the roads

[Hairy Celt]

Ok... it seems that it'll get colder yet so snow should be coming, rather than more bloody rain or sleet. More fun to be had before then end of the month and then there's still plenty of winter left.

I went up the street earlier and it was like an ice rink - the 2 minutes of sleet had frozen to the pavements. Shocking.

The polar low seems to have disappeared on the latest GFS run. Also, very marginal snow for the end of the week showing, if any.

Still there but in a slightly different position (north of Scotland) - as I suggested earlier I wouldn't take any positioning of it too literally given how hard they are to model / predict 

[edinburgh_1992]

GFS precipitation map until Saturday. Really dire, it was too early to get excited about the end of the week. It could change again, but honestly I don't have much hope.

Radar shows snow south of Edinburgh right now, it just clipped the bypass. Nothing in the city centre at all

Raining in Edinburgh,,snow shield in full effect

[Mr Frost]

Heavy snow currently in Gourock - light dusting on cars/grass. 

[snowidea]

Wet, wet, wet in Falkirk

Looks like it's all going north of here judging by the radar at the minute. What's fallen here so far in any case has been sleet at best

The coldest uppers follow the front unfortunately, the snow showers coming in behind won’t reach us on a NW flow

Looking great for you today mate! Wish I was back in my old home in Croftfoot! In the past everytime you got snow - I got it five minutes later! 

Showers lining up nicely out West!

Sorry to make things sound bad for you but aye Castlemilk had touched down in land of snawland (not to be confused with Shawlands). Although last week i had snow at top of castlemilk but bottom of castlemilk drive was clear! 

[Mr Frost]

Showers are making it well inland and look as though they are keeping intensity - Surely only a matter of time for Edinburgh? 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Was raining here until an hour ago when it turned to snow. Not settling except on the parked cars.

Was great last year for that whole area! Glad to hear you have snow! 

Sod all settling on the ground here but hopefully when the low clouds lift from the surrounding hills/mountains they will have a good cover at least. 

[Mair Snaw]

A dusting has been reported by my mate in Crieff... looks like some in here are in for a right good few days. anymore news on this polar low for later? still happening? shall i go buy bread and milk?

[Mesosphere]

Dry so far but cold. Just had a phone notification from the Met, with the yellow warning being extended eastwards. Game on say Exeter!

Heavy snow here in Ayrshire but only lying up the hills  

[snowidea]

Not exactly buried but it's the most we've had so far this winter and it's still falling. 

[Benvironment]

Well that was a nice surprise. About 1cm here and falling steady.

Thats enough to close the south east off from the rest of the UK for a week...
