Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020

[snowidea]

Goodness, you take your eye off the weather for a few days to spend a bit of time worrying about:

- the virus

- work

- that job interview on Friday 

Then, you wake up to a wintry dusting.

Snowing away here. Thank you March. Best fall of 'winter'

Good luck

[Mr Frost]

Lovely wintry scenes above. 

Curtains opened...10 meters above sea...expecting a lovely wet ground with snowfall restricted to the hills across the water and higher routes behind me...

It was never in doubt for here! 

Ah to live above roughly 100/150 meters in Winter and Early Spring - at least you folk always stand a chance in this setup for decent settling snow. 

Enjoy!

1.5 inches lying snow here,heavy shower has passed its Baltic

Back to winter here too. White world and the big cattle float stuck up the farm road again Starting to get a wee bit windy too.

Fine start at 0c with a dusting overnight frozen to all surfaces. Ground frozen hard and thick ice on puddles.Mud free morning.

Snaw, 6 cm of the stuff!

 

EDIT. Mrs SS measured as 6 cm, so I conceded.

Just a slight slushy covering on the grass. 

[Hawesy]

Nice to see some snow pics!

All is green and damp in coastal NE Fife as you would expect! Currently 2c/1c with a fresh WSWly wind.

We have a dusting here but it'll be gone soon in the sun...

[mistyqueen]

It has gone very, very dark here but no snow. No surprise there then!. Temp is around 3c, rain, light winds. Miserable. Again.

You've got the double whammy of sea level plus actual sea water to moderate the air temperature, that's never going to be a winning combination for snow. 

There are a few of us in this dirty watercourse with no means of propulsion situation....

Exactly mate - it’s a double disappointment! 

As I said in the past...we are looking at moving to higher ground up North. (Hopefully within the next twelve months!)

Until then I will be forever grateful for this thread and every single one of you for posting snow pictures!  (When I have none!)

Cheers!

Higher ground and inland is a better bet. Caithness is north and is useless for snow.

This mornings snow has pretty much vanished already. Nice to get and has probably saved this winter from being worse than 2018-2019. Just. 

[shuggee]

Bit of a wintry start to the morning....

Maggie was wondering what the hell was going on - she says it's spring!

 

And thirty-second air frost at -0.1C

[NUT]

Snow all gone now but that was a nice albeit unexpected surprise 

[Norrance]

My daughter that lives in North of Glasgow's birthday today. Not for the first time she had lying snow as a present including the day that she was born.

Meanwhile here we have had some showers which were sleety early but typically no snow for us

Up in Highland Perthshire they did get snow and the following car was one of several that left the road between Aberfeldy and Ballinluig this morning.

For those that like a bit of history especially re Glasgow weather I came across the following in an historical society web page. A monthly weather record from the Glasgow observatory from January 1920. Note the detail taken. I also note that the Weeg wasn't any sunnier back then though there was a little snow at times.
