I'm thinking St Michael's or Drumoig who both use normal greens near the coast of Fife... I was convinced I would have a couple of cms of snow this week to stop it but hey ho I'm off the week after next aswell so maybe I shall have snow at some point in the holidays. 

Just had final dog walk of day and feels chillier, wispy cloud and no precip. 

Do you get different coloured balls when you play in the snow?

Looks like an anteater about to come and crap on us all.

I was going to answer blue balls in the yellow snow

 

Clicked on here again as like @Swave Snowjust noticed that pivoting band.... Will no doubt fizzle out halfway across aswell but could be great surprise for some.

it could be a surprise its a much larger band than the front that pivoted over Scotland tonight

Let's hope it's the start of a week of surprises and the old cliche of get the cold in and the snow will follow actually happens. 

[Sceptical]

Met office dropped the ball with their snow forecast for this area last night. Frosty and dry this morning at -4C.

 

[mistyqueen]

 Verily! It snoweth!  From what I could see at the back door maybe 3 - 4cms, but it now sounds like it's turning to rain.  So, having scoffed breakfast I now need to get myself into gear to get ready for the weekly supply top up in Portree. Have seen gritters out and about so hopefully the road won't be that bad.  

[Hawesy]

Morning all. More snow, @mistyqueen what do you think this is? You’re supposed to be a fellow snowless coastie! 

Frosty start in NE Fife, +0.2c in my back garden but -3c inland a bit at Leuchars.

@Kirkcaldy Weather I was thinking graupel must be a good bet today. I have seen a lot of that here during previous cold spells. We’ll see, cloud is growing to the east.

[Sanserit]

Morning all, frosty start on Deeside, currently -2.6 and DP -3.4. Looked to be clear skies when i let dogs out but I've come back to bed as my shoulder is aching. Hoping the snow symbol appearing on my watch for later this afternoon doesn't disappear like yesterday's ones did but not going to hold my breath.

[Northernlights]

Very very icy as there is a frozen layer of slush on everything. Currently clear and 0c.

[Kayemill]

Well last night was a major fail. Radar showed precipitation but saw nothing fall. Not even much of a frost afterward. Doh!!

[Ravelin]

Currently -2.8C after an overnight low of -3.6C so clear and frosty with no wind. There's some beefy looking showers in the North Sea heading for the east coast, but the circulation is that slack they are only creeping closer. Anyone's guess when or if they will reach land.

[snowy owl]

A wee slight covering here ! Which is lovely to see. Hopefully maybe snatch a shower this afternoon if we’re lucky . 

[JamesM]

The grand total of about 4 hours worth of sleet and snow last night!
 

After a nice sunrise, it’s now just grey.

[blitzen]

Morning.

Must have been an on/off again type shower here through the night but that's been it. Temp: -0.6c  DP: -1.2c and pressure up now to 976.1mb.   Dead flat calm.

 

 

[Cheggers]

Frosty morning, not a flake fell. Oh well at least it's not grey wet and 7c.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Scene at ma folks hoose in Carrbridge this morning.

Bloody covid; I'd normally be there for xmas and hogmanay.

Just a frosty remnant dusting here at fort SS.

Last night never looked like being anything special in this neck of the woods and so I drew the kitchen curtains this morning to be greeted with ..... yup, a pathetic pallette of paltriness, that's what. I suppose there is the merest hint of something white amongst the grass, but that's it and it's nowhere else.

Temperature -0.4deg.C up from an overnight minimum of -1.2deg.C at 08:59, humidity is 96%, the wind has taken the day off (and I don't blame it,) pressure is up to 979.2hPa and rising, there's been 0.6mm of rain today and 4.2mm in the last 24 hours, and the dew point is -1deg.C. Cloud cover is 8/8 but it doesn't look all that inspiring being thin and disorganised.

[Northern Strath]

Well as @shuggee rightly alluded, you wouldn’t have known much about it if you relied solely on the bbc Scotland weather graphics but yesterday evening dropped about 12cms over about 3 to 4 hours of snow. Kilted thread as useful a resource as ever

Nice winter looking light earlier this morn and currently-3c
