Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards

[Puffy MacCloud]

Congratulations to all you winners out there; nice photos. I'm gazing out on, well, let's be generous and say 1cm of patchy slushy type material that looks to be of nae use to man nor beast.

Temperature 1.5deg.C up from -1.8deg.C at 01:51, humidity is 94%, wind 1 to 4mph swirling all over the shop, pressure 975.1hPa rising slowly, rainfall not recorded but see above, cloud 8/8 cover and the dew point is at 1deg.C.

Sleeting in Aberdeen now

Hooray! Love seeing all the snow reports. We ended up with about 3 inches of heavy, wet snow here in Morningside.

Been out with a ruller in the back garden!

Not a bad haul! I am glad I was completely wrong about the bust!

Better quality snow too. Not powder but not that slushy stuff either! Sadly a bit more drip, drip than yesterday already!

Heavy snow on after it turned back to rain for a while.

Damn that Westhill, the North Pole of the north east

Back to sleet..

Couple more pics from this morning.  I see lammermuirs sitting with a nice covering reported at 8inches.

Had nothing but sleet in Altens (Aberdeen) and was just 100% pure rain when I left house this morning the northeast seems doomed to nae proper snow fall

Raining here sadly and barely any cover left from last night in the garden, onto the next hunt.... Brilliant pics and great to see 101 getting the type of snow deep enough to really have fun in. Charts seem to keep the theme of colder but marginal briefly mild then colder marginal over last few weeks so hopefully get a dry snow fall before winters out and if not we can just talk home schooling in the thread

[aggy]

Do we have anyone stuck up north under the big giant snow machine

Well. That was.....bracing!

It was relatively calm when I set out at 8, but when I came back before 10 the wind had picked up and there were 2ft drifts where earlier there was nothing. Blowing over the road here now, which explains why it's so weirdly quiet. Savagely cold up on the top of East Lomond though, proper frost-nip stuff. Up to 1.8C here.

Thought i saw a splodge of snaw on my skylight just now but nope it was bird poop   just very heavy rain and blowing a gale. I see rumblings of a BFTE on the model thread.. im going back to the 2018 thread to see what happened to Ellon that week....

I was in Tarves for that and it was OK.  Not huge amounts of snow but only because of where the shower lines set up.  Very cold though and a lot of drifting so no marginality!

[howham]

My work colleague working from home in Keith reports rain there too...

[Quinach]

Really yuck outside.  Now exclusively rain, and the heaviest so far today.  Temperature has risen to 1.9c and strong north-northwest wind.  Oh well, looks like the Met office called this correctly after all.

 

[TinyTim]

Yep, went from white to wet here overnight sadly.  Well, I suppose I've had my one half-decent snowfall for the winter already so I should be satisfied... nah

[Snowlover2]

Well hubby had to drive me to work this morning then I had to get other carers pick me up thanks for the 2am warning met office!! 

[Snowandrocks]

A friend at 300m asl near Tarland says the snow is piling up pretty quickly and blowing around in the gale.

Traffic cams don’t look that exciting in inveralmond. How much did you get there. Managed 3cm. Grandparents in Dunfermline got about 8-10cm.

[Jo Farrow]

Very wet, heavy snow here at sea level but good covering. It's melting.

Picture from friend of Dunbar beach. And fallen branches unable to bear the weight!
