You've been remarkably unlucky even for your location. Perhaps we're not crossing enough fingers and squeezing our eyes tight enough?

Having said that I've done well over the past ten years, so I shouldn't complain!

Yes I've noticed

The positive is that it really makes you appreciate it when it comes and also that I should never have let the thought pass through my head in 2010 of ive actually had enough of the snow now

Starting to think we might have a completely snowless winter here in Edinburgh... 

Only hope is that the polar vortex does eventually weaken before the sun becomes too strong into march. No indications of that happening yet :(

From a lot of observations over the years I am sure we will see  appreciable snow at some point in the next three months although perhaps not in winter but early to mid spring when sea temperatures are lowest and north and east winds become more frequent.   Remembering too that we are really not that far from the Arctic circle.

Yes, it still seems quite unlikely we will go completely snowless. There has been one shower in my location (while I was away) which left a dusting back in late November but I believe Aberdeen has’t seen a flake yet other than possibly some sleet mixed in with rain.

Morning all

Looking across to the Cowal Peninsula there is snow! Snow line is roughly 400 meters and above. (As usual)

Plenty of showers moving through in the past few hours and still going at the moment.

Heading out shortly for a proper look as snow is hard to come by this Winter! 

Lowland snowfall wise end of January still looks interesting - North West/West looks best but even here it will only be for about 12 to 24 hours! (If it even becomes reality and no doubt you will need to live above 200 meters for snow to settle )

ECM:

GFS for the same timeframe:

As ever we shall see what happens - grim Winter so far from a cold/snow perspective and not much cheer for the long term currently. 

Glencoe is looking good if you seek a proper snow fix!

Grass frost hanging on in the shade, icy puddles and frozen windscreens this morning; temp 2C, nae wind while the strengthening sunlight brings a touch of warmth.

A good day for a walk in one of the Angus Glens.

Light dusting of wet snow here and icy in places, few wet snow/sleet showers rattling through on strong wind Ben Klibreck has a good covering.

Seemingly quite icy here in Glasgow. Holding off heading out for a run to see if it thaws a bit. Temp just above freezing so I'm guessing the ground temps are a bit lower because of the low sun.

Apart from yesterday at Cairngorm, I'm struggling to remember when I last saw snow falling. Another week of SW winds means that wont change anytime soon.

As it stand, winter 2019/20 is the 13th warmest on record. February is predicted to be milder still.

Personally, I'm just enjoying these long sunny days we have at present.

Not seen any snow on these hills/mountains for three and a half weeks! It is just nice to see a dusting at least!

Lovely day with showers skirting past my location - plenty of sunshine and a warm feeling 5c!

Stunning day out there today. Refreshing to see clear blue skies , so much better than the mehfest of late.

totally get why the downbeat vibe in the MOD thread , good to see some of our more learned posters from here trying to inject some positivity there.

but it’s still only 18th of January, model accuracy falls of a cliff like a drunken lemming after about 7 days so ........

Well where is the dry weather after a night of showers the morning has produced more showers so ground surface a bit muddy again. Hills  round the Firth above a thousand feet are white again. Showers getting lighter but there is still one coming in from the NW just now. Currently 4.5c

22C noted in the conservatory - no heating since last night, purely the power of the sun. Not bad

Not so toasty outside, the wind had a real bite to it. Still managed to get some useful work done outside though, with a second PIR floodlight fitted at the front of the garage. Ran wiring for one at the back garage door too, but got too cold and dark for me to actually fit and wire it in today. Will get finished tomorrow. 

Now sat nice and cosy with the log burner going.

Well the snow below about 600 meters has almost gone - few patches knocking about.

Quite pleasant today but a real chill in the air now.

Lovely Winter’s day.

Matt Hugo has made quite a bold tweet. Available to view over on the model tweet thread.

Over exaggeration?

Got about 3cms from snow showers last night/this morn, so ach... only about 2&1/2 feet less than Newfoundland  Within another dross winter for snow lovers this week has seen some progress, within the highlands at least. More snow visible on the glen floor than higher, the hills got blown to bits this week

Approaching what is often the snowiest period of a winter, Jan in to feb, yet given April 3rd was one of the snowiest days of last year these norms seem less normal or relevant. The weather for the upcoming week looks pedestrian, hopefully it’s a lull before something more juicy arrives for everyone

Tyre talk… Fitted a set of Bridgestone Weather Controls  late summer as an emergency set for the grand tour.  I can't say I've been impressed by grip in the wet or by the wear - down to 4mm after 9k miles.  Maybe (definitely) go back to Nokian Weatherproofs.

It's frosty out now, 0.5C after a mostly sunny day.

*deleted that* in case it could be misconstrued. As I actually like the idea of people not wanting to be royals.. it’s the uk media I particularly don’t like.. anyhoo, maybe open up the Scottish politics thread again sometime, there’s a LOT to discuss these days!..

dull and cold outside, nothing weather
