Mostly heavy sleet overnight but temperature edging down this morning and we have just had a dry snow shower which did not settle. Currently very windy overcast and 2.5c. Fields saturated again. Any ground over 200m is very white though when the showers clear.

Shower activity starting to pep up, could be a surprising day for a few

There was a lot of rain last night in Moffat, but since 6 am, each passing shower has been getting wintrier. It's settling readily just now.

I'm outside the amber warning but at 130 metres, if the showers are in the right place, I may see something.

The light showers passing now are snow and would lie if heavier. 

Heading to work at lunch then back at teatime so should see some snow in the hills somewhere surely!

Snowing now here, not lying yet but that change in 850s has made the difference

 

A tad apprehensive regarding my journey north later but shall be going A702 with care (The issue will be if some idiot crashes)

I'll happily take half of what Peebles is getting! Hope we get enough showers tracking north of where this main action seems to be getting forecast.

I was thinking of you when I saw that area map and that you might be wise to nip up to Broughton for your 'snowed in' rations. The A701 can get a wee bit 'drifty' !

Finally!  something worth talking about!   Yesterday was just a sleety mix which lay on the grass etc but the roads remained clear.

Noticeably turning colder here now and the showers are really beefy.

We currently have temp sitting at 0.8c/ -0.1c DP/WSW wind of 9mph.  All pretty conducive for anything that falls from the sky to turn to snow.  (just need it to fall from the sky!)

The incredible snow drought goes on uninterrupted in Aberdeen. Enjoy the snow if you have it.

Shame it's so marginal this morning. Some really beefy snow showers which, if the conditions had been better, would have left a fair cover by now.

Went to Tesco in Peebles on Saturday and stocked-up big time! Local shop in Broughton selling bags of oak to burn though - always worth a visit as it's hot hot hot.

Dewpoint has gone negative for the first time during this 36 hour spell. Nice.

I usually call him Batty Sean - hence the mental depths!

He's not too bad really, usually pretty accurate most of the time.

I love that Tesco in Peebles. I used to do some work in there and although it's the smallest Tesco you can ever imagine, it's a great shop and the staff and management are really nice people. I did a photography job at the newly opened Broughton stores last year too, and was v. impressed by the collective village initiative. It's an excellent shop now, and has a better selection of goodies than it ever had before.

Drove down the M74 early this morning, couple of hefty hail and sleet showers which covered the road then i got kicked off at J11 for the earlier serious accident. Loads of cars/lorries stuck on the motorway while the accident is investigated and looks like they may still be there as the roads still closed. 

Side roads were dodgey with about an inch of snow lying on the roads, couple more inches on the verges but fine with care. 

 

I'll miss the snow down here but enjoy whoever gets it today!

Hefty big snow showers incoming and you can make out the great clumps of stuff likely to affect Lanark etc later. Image decoded earlier this morning.
