We had 4 mms of rain this afternoon which normally would be insignificant. However this year it is the second wettest day yet and has brought the total for the year up to 48.5mms. Currently dry at 6C.

Snow dropping to 150-200m above sea level tomorrow night around Edinburgh as colder air gets pulled in, coupled with heavy precipitation moving in at the same time. So @101_North and @Penicuikblizzard keep an eye on the lamp posts tomorrow evening (from about 10-11 onwards I'd say).

Down in south lakes for a few days. Prolonged heavy rain yesterday and looks like more this afternoon but it's a warm and partly sunny morning. Feels far more spring-like than home. 

Any chance of snow on the A9 on Tuesday for my return journey? Please?

@mardatha Much the same here after a howling, tile rattling, overnight gale which was accompanied by squally but brief showers.  

A Song Thrush was singing above the noise at first light. :oldsmile:  Can't wait for nature's spring proper now.

10.3 C with hazy sunshine here after a night of howling winds. Latest charts for tonight's possible snow looks like the focus is on areas further towards the borders a last minute shift north would be handy for @mardatha and @shuggee to get their snaw fix.

HIRLAM usually overdoes the snow risk (vividly remember back in December when we got that freezing rain mix it had it all as snow with a good dumping for some areas :oops:anim_toi1.thumb.gif.7964131f87ad5e907b308d03e404637f.gif)  anim_aix7.thumb.gif.58de94241275bfde540d1199700f0f5d.gif

The heavier rain has just started here. Temp fallen from 7.4-5.3°C in an hour there. Dew point 1°C.

Not that I'm excited having seen the photos from Ireland or anything :whistling:

Down to  Perth yesterday for farm dinner at Perth   and there was just a dusting on Braeriach but today on the return journey there was good covering of snow down to about 2000 feet 

Had a bit of rain over the weekend at home but soil still dry. Currently 6c and clear.

Looks like the next few weeks parts could get some good snowfall over Scotland, I'm up here mid-month driving around the N/W Highlands so should make things more scenic/enjoyable.

Bless their wee cotton socks, the Met-Office have issued a snow warning now that the snow has started to settle. The Euro4 had a pretty good handle on this so I wonder why they missed it?

Not sure but it doesnt look far north enough given traffic cams at Abingdon. I'm off down the M74 early tomorrow so I'm keeping an eye on it, although I expect it'll just be white at the side of the road by then...

Aye, just come back from Biggar and settling well there. Just beginning to lie properly here at Rachan, south of Broughton. Shuggee will be pleased.

Aye Pete white over here now. Well pleased. Covering on the flagstones was the last to submit. Radar packed full so going to be an interesting event.

Occasional cars on the A701 moving past slowly and gloopy/slushy noises abound...

0.3/-1°C

As expected snow is currently falling at low levels, sleet even in central Edinburgh at times. Temperature is around +3C here. The pentlands will be very snowy tomorrow. 

@101_North any snow falling up in Currie?

Sadly not. Just lashing rain, occasionally sleety. Pretty vile!
