My current thought's on how much snow could fall over the next few days in scotland. Don't shoot me if ya think I've gone too express lol but I really think these totals are possible. From my weather page:

 

RED WARNING: 4/2/21 18z - 6/2/21 12z.

(Red Area)

Central/Eastern Scotland -

*Imminent danger to life

*Blocked Roads

*Cuts to electricity/essential services

10-20cm all levels

20-40cm 200m+

50-75cm 300m+

Could be some historical amounts of snow, only travel if absolutely essential, have winter supply's stocked in car if doing so.

(Orange area)

Other parts of Central/Eastern scotland. Southern scotland.

2-5cm Coastal fringes

5-15cm All levels

10-18cm 200m+

15-30cm 300m+

Stay tuned, more updates and local analysis as this major event unfolds.

It’ll all be different in a couple of days, hopefully like your BFTE video ❄️

After the past few days I'd take a frost and some blue sky

i expect another 30-40mm of rain/sleet and wet snow through till Saturday, however up to 50mm additionally possible.

Could have done with a bit of clear weather and frost before the potential snow.

Interesting take. I’d suggest the orange zone should be elongated to take in the whole of the Greater Glasgow area as showers coming off the Firth of Forth tend to make it right through the Central belt. Indeed the met office yellow warning for Monday does just that.

So I'm guessing that BFTE stands for dog biscuits From The Express?

Christ. You can still write things I wouldn't say to my mother

Bealach... old Norse word for any part of the anatomy that needs regular scratching.

Think I'm gonna stick with Piffy's (sorry) Puffy's explanation!  ( After I Googled it!)

Up to 3.7C now, with an inch of rain and a foot of snowmelt cascading off the hill. I can't bear it, SUCH A WASTE!!!  

Easily our worst rain since the August storms up here.

We were forced to install a pumping system in the stone- walled garden after the August storms.   Been out to check, and it is working overtime right now!

I think he meant, scratched a bealach. Or should that be, scratched a snowblower?
