Snowing in Edinburgh

[Spindrift2017]

Thunder, lightning and a torrential deluge of hail a few minutes ago.

There's a thin covering of white stuff but I think it might just be hail!

 

[Ruzzi]

Very beefy showers, bound to get some decent settling of snow if it continues like this through out the day

Shut the front door 

 

Snowed very briefly here, not settling but who knows if heavier bursts make it... Nice to hear the kids screaming it's snowing to then hear their mum shout no its not its sleeting now get dressed. 

 

For the record it was snow.

A wintry mix this morning. Hail, snow, back to rain now back to snow. 

Slight covering.

Some lightning showing up on ATD in the next band of showers beginning to move into the Glasgow area...

3cm here. In a shower gap just now and temp up from 0.2 to 1.0°C. Going to be a fun 48hours. Dog very excited.

In the end the "storm" yesterday ended up being a half-hour period of gusty winds in the mid-afternoon before settling down to a stiff breeze for the rest of the night. 

Saying that, just a few miles west of here around Alford there were plenty of trees down on the roads - looks like the Pitfichie/Corrennie hills were giving us a bit of shelter from the worst of the storm.

The West Aberdeenshire snowshield is a thing of beauty on the radar this morning, killing everything heading our way.  Unless the wind direction changes direction looks like its going to be a few days of blue skies and a cutting wind.

Currently clear blue skies, 1.5c and a stiff westerly wind.

Bet it's not just the dog, bet you've got your sledge and snowman making kit all ready by the door too

Just turned very dark and is snowing heavily here (Kelty)

[NUT]

Sleet flash bang hail all In the space of 15 minutes what a start to the day! 

[Ross B]

All white here again after the earlier slush melted, suspect that will be the theme of the day. Gutters are currently overflowing with hail

[Stormeh]

Snow, hail, thunder and lightning. Pretty boring actually...not  

[101_North]

Any settled snow from earlier is now a slushy deposit. Not expecting much to settle to be honest but fingers crossed that changes as we get towards the end of the day if the showers continue.

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Heavy snow here and pretty sure I heard a couple of rumbles of thunder

[Sceptical]

Snowgate at Corgarff as you head to the Lecht:
