It’s raining in Glasgow. Temp is -1.

edit- according to the radar it’s rain right across the central belt?

Definatly snaw here

[snowidea]

Been snowing here with varying intensity since 8.00ish, nice top up of what was left from earlier in the week. Might be turning to sleety rain just now. 

[JamesM]

Started as snow here but expecting it will flip back to rain. 

[TinyTim]

Normal service has been resumed here - wet and horrible! 

Hoping those who have the flakes enjoy, and I've got my fingers crossed for next week but am a little dissapointed that this one hasn't come off... oh well, as said above, you win some, you lose some

[JoeShmoe]

Quickly turned to sleet here, and light. 

[Polar Side]

Still fairly heavy here.

[101_North]

Getting heavier and previously cleared roads filling over nicely!

Expecting it to turn sleety soon but temp hanging on at -0.5c!

This has been a three part Drone Ballet by EdinburghHogmanay instead of the usual celebrations. It's quite lovely/poignant (with the super Niteworks) , last one tonight at 7.

Feeble snow here currently will be rain soon

Steady Snaw this morning 

[Penicuikblizzard]

0c and raining now in Edinburgh CC the warm sector is moving in 

[edo]

Rain here not even a trace of sleet, I'm at peace with it I don't like snow to rain events, I would rather just have the rain.

 

When you know the snows going to disappear and change to rain its akin to a supermodel taking you home and stripping naked then saying that's your lot and getting dressed and leaving. 

Come and have a look at what you could have won as the great Jim Bowen used to say. 

 

Delighted 101 seeing more snow though  

[blitzen]

Morning.

Pretty meh actually.   Temp:1.2c/0.5c. with a slow thaw going on.

 

[Stuart Taylor]

Pretty thick snow here in newarthill just now. 

[Mair Snaw]

RAIN....abc..

[JamesM]

Still hanging on as snow here despite being quite light. 
 

Edit: certainly not light now. Didn’t expect this at all today. I always get the best snow when the met office leave me out of the warning area!

Jo - off topic, but I seen you're in East Lothian, and I've occasionally seen a photo of a standing stone that sometimes accompanies the daily Netweather e-mail. It very much reminds me of the stone near East Linton which I've driven past recently - do you know if it's the same one?

It's the one at Easter Broomhouse near Spott, not the one at the NB turn off

[Ross B]

Snowing quite heavily here now after an hour of freezing rain, a real wintry mix! 

[Kayemill]

Light snow here filling in some of the blanks. Still -1.8 with -2.3 dew.

Or maybe 101 getting the model first 

[Cheggers]

Snaw lasted about 2 min off, 2 min off, so just about covered the frost only, pffft

[Stormeh]

The heavy precipitation seems to have missed here, just very light snow at the moment. My interest is drawn to what January is going to possibly throw at us

[Spindrift2017]

Snow starting to fizzle out here, but was quite decent for half an hour or so - there hadn't been much melting here, and it filled in the gaps quite nicely.  Hopefully the rain is not too heavy and persistent. 

[Ross B]

[Klippie]

No snow only rain here...the temperature is +1.4deg/C so its cold rain. 

You couldn't write it...a north east wind mid winter and instead of piles of snaw we get pishy rain.

Choked on my breakfast there

Yes @Mr FrostI just trolled through the mornings runs, definite improvements next week and dreaded uppers already looking slightly better with a more N tint to the Easterly.... Im quietly optimistic of some decent events.
