Hey guys!

Awesome should have a good few cms for a snow day if we avoid a mild sector 

[blitzen]

Got a slight covering now as it got a bit heavier the last 1/2 hour.   -0.3c/-0.3c.

The upper air dynamics are getting cold but it depends how much the SE flow later in the night affects temperature. I might get a bit wetter snow or sleet. But you could still be in all snow tomorrow morning.

Today started off well enough with a bonny sunrise, then the Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ set in once more.

Overnight low of -1.5c followed by a high of 2.5c, currently 0.9c, DP -0.5c and so far, not one drop of rain/icy rain/Graupel/sleet/sna has hit my pathways or garden. The grass in the back garden still resembles an ice speedway track thanks to the dogs chasing out the intruding next door cat at high speed. I ventured onto the back step today for a whopping 5 seconds then turned and came back in where it’s safe and I can’t do myself any more harm.

Some fabulous photos once again and I look forward to seeing where sna actually falls over the next few hours - one thing I’m pretty certain of is that it won’t be falling on Deeside

Great to see a few folks enjoying some snow this evening

Big fat flakes now. Proper snaw. Chuckin it doon and sticking nicely.

Progress:

 

[Sanserit]

Just to depress me further, checked out the Aberdeenshire snow gate webcams and two out of three are closed. Only the Cairn o’Mount gate is still open though I suspect that may change by morning.

Varied between light snow and sleet here this evening with just a slight covering on the road. Not too surprised that there has been sleet as the temp has gone above 1C  but a little surprised that all the precipitation here had been light so far.

[Hairy Celt]

Hmm we have heavy rain with some slightly sleety blobs mixed in. 2.2C. It's going to wash away the whiteness from around the house anyway so the sleet's neither here not there. It's funny having my mother here - her perspective, obviously, is that she wants mild so she can get out and about without slipping or getting cold - so I have to temper my wintry enthusiasm in her company, which is something I've never done before. Big day for her tomorrow - covid jags for all the old folk, up at the Free Church. Time to crack open the fizz.

Could 2021 be weirder than 2020

 

If rain lies as snow now I'm all for it 

[Jamboperth11]

Been on for a wee while in Perth but never really got heavy, Is it likely to get heavier during the night/tomorrow 

[edo]

It is due to be heavier overnight but hard to tell, the front could fizzle out quicker and we could see some mixing as the wind veers but cautiously optimistic will wake to 4 or 5 cm which will be great having been so starved of snow recently. Was out with one of the kids playing football diving about in it till 10.30..... Great fun diving in the snow... Gonna be sore tomorrow

[Big Innes Madori]

Drove home from work 5.30pm and was sleety pish in the Lithgy/Grangemouth area, by the time I got over to Clackmananshire and West Fife I was driving on Snaw covered roads and the Snaw depth varied throughout the rest of the journey. 

Snaw depth here was 2/3 cm and although it has Snawed all evening to some extent and still currently is, there has been no increase to the depth at all?

Same icy mix here that we've had for much of the day really! An Amber warning resigned to history along with all the other failed frontal events here. Hey ho. Great to see some others, @edo especially, getting a shot

[grifter]

Pishy mcpish her in the West, just a typical gloomfest. Kind glad it's washed the remaining slushy crap away.

[edo]

Haha @CatchMyDriftI like it.... The humour not the slush.... Same here with regards to the snizzle/snow continues but no real depth change

Cheers @101_Northfor letting me borrow some of your snow 

[Mair Snaw]

Raining here...

[Mair Snaw]

Cant wait to move house to higher ground.. next winter is gonna be great..
