Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020

[Quinach]

Another glorious day today with unbroken sunshine and calm conditions. 

Max temperature of 3c after a cold overnight low of -5.2c.

Snow still hanging on at this level, though at least another inch of cover has melted away - at this rate will be pretty much gone by Friday.

[Mr Frost]

100 meters hill behind me has a dusting! I face directly onto Kilmun Hill (Strone Hill) ect ect and the snow level has dropped from 250/300 meters to about 50 meters in the last hour. @Zenarcher do you have settling snow on the grass? Must be getting close!

Showers lined up nicely for a direct hit! 

 

Winter has finally started here!

Got some pictures of the snow here in Dunoon the shower lasted at least half an hour and its just started to snow again,

One of the sheep in the field was the first to notice and went down the hill to shelter,

The rest soon followed,

Once it cleared the sun came back out and it left a light dusting of snow on the field something I haven't seen this winter,

 

The hills still looking snowy,

    

@Mr Frost Yes we have settling snow on the grass over here just a small amount though and on the cars as well. The roads and pavements are all still clear.

Been sunny here all day but with a cold wind. Max was 4C after a low of -1.5C this morning.  Heavy snow showers this evening have reached Highland Perthshire but have petered out before or around Dunkeld. 
My daughter was skiing at Glenshee today and had a great time. Cold up top in the wind though with drifting powder and ice particles blowing into the face. Highlights were a mountain hare running down a run alongside her and catching a snow devil on film.

Heavy snow here, settling very readily.

I enjoyed a few hours on skis up in the hills above Moffat today. Snow cover is pretty good on some aspects, with some enormous drifts, but it's stripped and/or icy on others.

Admiring the drumlins in the glacial landscape of the Upper Talla Glen ...

High above Loch Skeen ...

Ooft the M77 has disappeared! Looks like it's snowing at home but I'm not there typically... Tonight looks like the best chance of the winter so far for a depth of more than 1cm. 

[Ross B]

Snow all the way to the coast from that, this is near Ardrossan. @Mr Frost must be in with a shout from the next shower coming in!

Snow now settling on everything here. Took these photos as it started to come down. White lamppost v orange lamppost. Who wins? 

Everything white here now. Possibly the best we have had so far this winter. 

[JamesM]

Shower has now passed through. Photo doesn't do it justice as it has stuck to all the tree branches, hedges etc. 

Unusual to see snow near the coast in Ayrshire @Ross B. 

[Ruzzi]

Everything white here too, quick video... 

You can see just how heavy it is at the end of the video! 

 

[Ruzzi]

A lot of shower activity building out west

Could be an interesting night, I think the met office warning area might have been pegged too far west with the showers penetrating well inland 

 

[Sunshineandshowers84]

EK got a heavy snow shower there place went white very quickly. Forecast for more heavy snow showers overnight so could be a fair dumping by the morning.

Sleety pish here! More rain than snow sadly!

[101_North]

And in an instant it's turned to snow!

[Stormeh]

A wee bit snowy ootside...

 

[101_North]

Very light and no chance of anything settling. Main blob drifted south of the Pentlands.

Edit: Settling now but still very light

Amazing thundersnow on M74 tonight near Lesmahagow, whole sky lit up purple, whilst the starship enterprise effects of the headlights were in full effect. Very surreal!

[Klippie]

The temperature got down to -1.9deg/C last night which gave us a nice crisp frosty morning...a noticeably colder feel to the day.

Around 21:30 a wee bit of snow blew through it only lasted a few minutes unfortunately, I see some are having better luck with the white stuff than around here.

I miss the winters when you opened the curtains in the morning to find it had snowed during the night .

[Huntforsnow]

Snowww!

Well that was a scary drive home tonight from work. A few heart in mouth moments when my car started to slide to the side a few times. Not as much snow at home in Barrhead. I will venture out tomorrow to the local hills and hopefully get some nice pictures

[101_North]

Another lovely frosty, sunny morning. 0c.

Great to see some folks getting snow

[mistyqueen]

Verily, it snoweth! ❄❄
