Amber warning for here now but still not convinced mostly down to experience of these situations

Aye, MetO forecast for Alford tomorrow has changed so there's not even a sleety element to it, rain all the way. Of course if it's that here, you have no chance.

[Eastern Scotland WX]

I am 6 miles SE of Perth not even under a yellow warning, while most of Perth is in Amber....

[Cheggers]

Snizzle started here, turning ground white over the frost

You have had your fill

[Ross B]

That's it, I'm off to Canada! Do you have space for any lodgers @CatchMyDrift??

[snowidea]

Well in the spirit of IMOBY Falkirk slap in the middle of the Amber warning. Currently appears to be very fine graupel (if that's the correct term for mini hailstones). 

[blitzen]

I'm right on the soddin' border of that amber warning!  Nothing's ever straightforward!

Is this another covid diktat? 

You're only allowed 1cm of snow at your house, no more than 30 mins to enjoy it in, and only 1 other person in snowballing range, snowballs have to be quarantined for 24 hours before launching.

Where's the yellow and orange warnings ? I'm not getting emails from here, settings must be off. Am I getting snaw???

Right on the edge here met office go with this  compared to bbc 24 hours of sleet latest wrf nmm doesn’t really fill me with confidence but actually has the back edge more snow than rain not a clue how it will go hopefully some get snowy surprises. 

[StewieEatWorld]

Rarely post on here, mainly lurk. But looking forward to seeing what this event brings today. I'm just inside the Highway to the Amber Zone here in Dunfermline, at the top end though sitting at 133m asl. 

[grifter]

Still cold rain here ugh! 

[biggreyface]

Good morning 

rain started about an hour ago here in the middle of the trossachs and amber warning area currently -1c  not surprising at all seeing as it was -4c and raining on Hogmanay 

I must be getting older and memory getting a little foggy but I used to remember after a couple of frosty days  and a frontal system approaching there would be at least a few hours of snow before turning back to rain now just super cooled rain 

I’ve just had a look in the mad house winter is over  ( London and the south east)  

looks like plenty of polar maritime air heading our way which is just perfect for my location stellas in and toys securely fastened in the Pram 

[Ross B]

Another freezing rain and snow warning out for Saturday, a lot of uncertainty and mentions that lower levels in the east might get rain....

-0.4C and raining now. Ice and the sprinkling of snow from Monday evening still hanging on. Some heavier ppn on its way according to the nw radar. 

Amber warning, but the forecast says:

[Eagle Eye]

Still quite a lot of snow in a few areas of Scotland

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

   A clear example of why I never look at those websites forecasts

Appears to be RAINING on the Leadhills webcam at 400m - I was sure that would be all white at the moment

Yes, this surprises me. Fingers crossed for those further east, I think overnight conditions will improve for the Eastern contingent but a non-event for here. 

Currently 0.5c and moderate rain, fair bit of ice about

Definitely all doom and gloom in there. 

Still looking good here for many of us in Scotland. Snow chances for many today, tomorrow and now new warnings out for Saturday. The models don’t have a clue what’s in store for next week but it does look very interesting for sure. Plenty of fun and games for us lot over the next couple of months

[blitzen]

I wonder what type of prepishytation I'm in for then?   Oops... I've just answered my own question!

NW radar heavier incoming looks as if it will split north and south of Fife.

Quite a common occurrence actually...   Ochils?
