Temp 0.1 - check
Dewpoint -1C - check

Cloud in North sea heading this way- check

Met O forecast 5pm. Heavy snow sh - check
Radar showing precipitation. Yes - check.

Actuality. Bone dry and frosty

Much jealousy of other pics and snow reports- check.

 

Similar story up here. The snow that was forecast for this area disappeared with the 5pm update.

Thats twice that's has happened in the last 24 hours. Slightly frustrating but this winter so far has exceeded expectations. I remain optimistic!

Maybe the precip seen my post from last night saying Fife would be the best area  trying to remember a similar looking radar convection is happening but it just isn’t keen on moving into Fife well would have been a bonus anyway and the charts are full of wintry chances so fingers crossed better luck here in the next, maybe it’s the slack flow.

Erm.....how the dickens do I find that out??  1C here, dew point is -2.7C and all the snow is passing over Leslie and missing us completely.

Thanks! Sorry to see it missed you, the oddities of these events is they become so localised. Nothing more here for a wee while either. It's basically the air temperature minus 1/3 of the difference between it and the DP (so like in your case around -0.5) but you can calculate it here:

At the moment it seems fine enough, and the Freuchie station is approx 1/-1 so wet bulb temperature around 0C

I think the heavier stuff is still likely to move in in a couple of hours, the UKV at least has a lull then some more later on626568274_viewimage(3).thumb.png.307f2ef66a4300707a2ed6bac8ac5a7d.png

Better for the Lothians and Dundee too (moving into Perth as well) but certainly suggests we're not out of it just yet!

Not sure what the wet bulb is here but the precipitation has now arrived. It is a mix of rain sleet and graupel. Temp 0.0C and dewpoint still -1.5C so is it the wet baws?

The juicy stuff just off the coast of Fife and Dundee will probably be the main course for most this evening.

Just to add that wet stuff is freezing on contact with some of the surfaces and making our street like a skating rink.

Had several wet snow/sleet showers here which have left a covering of around 2cm of slush. Big puddles in the middle of it however the ground temperature must still be low as nothing seems to be melting.

The wet bulb itself is fine, like -0.5C (if the temperature and dewpoint are fine the wet bulb will be too) but must be that pesky upper level warm sector pushing in from the north east, melting the snow too high up. Very difficult to say exactly where is the wrong side of marginal will be with this since even the models aren't clear. The Euro4 suggests it's a bawhair between snow and rain everywhere from Angus to the Borders:1498615041_20122821_2812(1).thumb.gif.876dca7505c36e96d0882843a5d02981.gif

Ooft - haven't seen an outlook like that in a very long time. At some stage with synoptics like that you'd inevitably end up tapping into some serious cold pools...

It’s great reading in the model thread at the moment. I just hope it doesn’t end in tears. Exciting times ahead I feel, let’s hope we all get some proper snow as we head into the new year
