The GB & NI ICON 5 day accumulated precipitation chart looks as if someone has selected the 'invert weather' option. Can we have this in the summer please ?

That's a bad joke when they give snow accumulations on low bits of Islay, coastal Caithness and the Ross of Mull as well as major dumpings on the Black Isle.

Looks like Ayrshire will the hotspot again tonight - showers seem to come through perfectly aligned for me then at the last minute break up or dive just South! 

Hopefully get a wee dusting here later!

I got my hopes up for here today due to some similarities with last year  - 19th January 2018 archives-2018-1-19-0-0.thumb.png.5d4dd9b4557a16cbbdd2986daa8f5315.png archives-2018-1-19-0-1.thumb.png.086b8c957b4c3896d9ef8eb5a32277c4.png archives-2018-1-19-12-0.thumb.png.3b1a03f9ba3922da333d9464a96e1596.pngarchives-2018-1-19-12-1.thumb.png.3b5f6a472b980a1f20201274d6f9a6ec.pngDSC_0001.thumb.JPG.8cd1d99b5f8b19ab902a086a56daf975.JPGDSC_0003.thumb.JPG.74b16369cfe19c39c5923c10e9217b56.JPG   proving that westerlies can deliver this far east - today gfs-2019012900-0-6.thumb.png.904a13d089691f0408da8912889b18fb.pnggfs-2019012900-1-6.thumb.png.d49371baf332602eddea021ebc164729.pnggfs-2019012912-0-6.thumb.png.d002cde7790722499054c2abd36d6c0b.pnggfs-2019012912-1-6.thumb.png.38dc97e2f473aff8e36a5dccf9922d5d.png   Perhaps that front messed things up this morning being further north and lingering slightly longer that initially modeled or perhaps just bad luck 

just hit bang on freezing 0.0 / -1.1C here so on the way to scenes like this   (be careful everyone)

Further snow showers overnight last night gave a nice fresh top up, today sunny very cold just odd flurries. Took this picture while on dog wander through Balblair Wood near Bonar Bridge looking over Easter Ross and Cairn Salachaidh.  Cracking day

Didn’t last long - hopefully we get some showers that merge together later for a longer spell of snow. 

Seems to be a bit hit and miss at the minute.

Couldn't post due to working all day and the snow made it more chaotic, however managed a couple of quick photos, first photo was about 8:30am and the second was about 9:30am by which point a few inches had accumulated.

The difference between here and where you are never fails to amaze! We got a slight covering from a heavy shower this morning which disappeared during the day.  All the shower activity this evening is either sinking down into Ayrshire or dumping most of the snow over Argyll and fizzling out as it approaches the Glasgow area.

Yes it’s really disappointing, need more of a westerly flow.

Aye - all day I have been watching the snow clouds cover the hills/mountains in Argyll just across the water - while at the same time heavy snow showers just miss me by a bawhair to the South!

Hopefully that is no longer the case for the rest of tonight/AM tomorrow. 

I have a cheek to moan though - think about how poor of a snow time @edo, @101_North, @Penicuikblizzard and @edinburgh_1992 are having.

The caravan site at Cannich has/had Glamping pods and I'm sure it's open all year. Should be cold there too. 

As expected from a westerly flow, nothing more at home overnight other than a frost. It was around -2/3C at 7:30am and pretty much below freezing all the way to Fochabers. 

Nice to see others getting in on the snow action. Been anything 'doon sooth' yet, as I don't dare check the banter thread just in case? 

I’ll look into it.... thanks

Where's that swirl out west going, how's it going to develop and most importantly, will it bring me snow??                           

Yes who has the answer to this??

 @ghoneym  what's it like along in costa del Methil same as here id suspect  pish.thumb.jpg.cdf525f3ae65966ad8e7ca7eac1ecc74.jpg 

 

Were in Leven nowadays but obviously close enough to Methil but just rain here today, I was working at Cowdenbeath and we had quite a decent snow shower this morning for a few hours from 7 to 9, didn't last long and turned to mush by midday

Snow showers are coming through here (Gourock) more regularly now but not packing a settling punch as yet!

Hopefully a few folk in here are starting to see more snow showers rolling through!

I know, it's purely down to altitude, the difference today between Newhouse and salsburgh was ridiculous, in the space of a mile it went from very wet to very white. Motherwell has never been great for decent snowfall, although I'll be moving away from shotts in the next few months so hoping for something a bit more substantial as it'll be my last winter here. 

With regards to tonight's showers, it appears an even weaker flow than last night however the winds should start to veer more WNW and then maybe Westerly  so hopefully get some snow showers pushing in at some point. Will definitely settle as we have a layer of frozen snow and ice ready to capture it.
