Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Autumn 2020 onwards

[Mair Snaw]

@CatchMyDrift can you see all the lovely snaw we have?? Are you jealous of it all?? ❄❄

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Nothing wintry here so far looks like I have avoided majority of the showers but my main hope is in the front tonight - push all the way across to the east coast please pal then over the next few days chances for some bits to try move in from the North Sea maybe thundery but will keep an eye on it. Would be interesting to see if any of you in the west have pressure readings I’m currently on 960.41 hpa low of 960.11 hpa, temps 2.3C / DP 1.3C

Nice to see those of you that have had snow so far

Looks like Fife (at least central) is dipping out at the moment.   No flakes have fallen here at all.

Temp: 0.8c  DP:0.2c  Pressure 962.7mbs.  Nice morning tho'.

@Kirkcaldy Weather 958mb here in the middle. 

[Polar Gael]

First lying snaw of the winter this morning. Lovely and bright now. Currently 0.2°C/0°C so a gentle thaw on the go. Air pressure reading 963mb. Looking forward to a decent cauld spell into the New Year and beyond... Good luck for more snaw later on, kilters.

985.5 hPa. Temp 0.8deg. Dew point 0.1 deg. Currently snowing. 
(got a new weather station for Christmas)

[Ravelin]

Went for a quick walk this morning and my car was well iced up so it had probably been rained on late last night. Snow 100m up the hill a bit has survived better, especially in the shade, and probably had a dusting on top by the looks of the trees. Temp here has crept above zero in the last hour. 

I see the MetO have extended the yellow snow & ice warning across most of Scotland, including me now. Yet thier forecast for here has no precipitation of any type throughout the warning period. Go figure. 

[JamesM]

A touch of white first thing but all the showers tracking just south of me. Currently just catching the edge of one and it’s falling as snow. Hopefully bodes well for anything heavier later.

[mistyqueen]

Well that was a very brief wintry type of day! Snaw all but gone, replaced by sleet and rain. Very short lived and not looking like we'll get any more up here. Och well, it was nice while it lasted! 

[Puffy MacCloud]

Well blow my horn. Diablo was right and I was wrong. Who'd have thunk it?

[Sanserit]

Sun shining, currently 2.7c up from an overnight low of -1.4c, DP -0.5 and pressure currently on a downward trend at 966.81hpa

Currently 956.0 hpa falling more slowly. Think we’re in the middle of the low in the western isles 

[mistyqueen]

Depends which weather station I want to believe! One says 954hpa, another says 966hpa. Take your pick! 

[Mr Frost]

Afternoon all

Baltic out there! Currently 2C with a feels like temperature in that raw wind of -3C.

Rain, sleet, snow and hail today overhead. 
Pulse type showers rolling though and then off into the distance.

Perfect Winter day!

 

 

Tonight still holds much interest - track/snowfall amounts still undecided!

UKV/Met Office snapshots below for 21:00:

 

All the best and good luck again! 

[Stormeh]

Just back from a nice winter walk at the Whitelee Wind Farm which is only a 10 min drive from my house

[TinyTim]

Well, not a flake here as expected, but fingers crossed for this evening! 

Good luck to everyone and I hope you get a little of the white stuff to brighten things up

[Sceptical]

Been snowing lightly for the last hour hour. A slight dusting and feeling on the cold side.

I’m just over the hill from there to the south. 
Temp falling at 0.6deg. Dew point. -0.1deg. All we need now is snow.

Always find it funny reading the storm threads when it's affecting somewhere in sounthern/central England. "Omg 60, maybe 70mph winds I could feel the house shaking..." when we get one of those through the central belt almost every year and have had a couple of 90mph storms in the last 25 years.

Bully for you! 

[BurntFishTrousers]

See the low (Bella) swing south and notice the wind direction. True polar stuff soon.

Cracking walk up the Pentlands! What a beautiful day! Dusting of snow on the hills and sunshine. Brilliant! Enjoyed it so much I didn't stop to take a single photo
