Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards

[LomondSnowstorm]

Latest UKV is a little better for Aberdeen, Tayside and Fife than the previous run, totals still very much on the stonking side (not to be taken too literally of course but as a rough indication of where it's distributing the showers over the next couple of days):

The lines out in the North Sea seem to be getting longer - bit of a lull along the Forth-Clyde line as the 'pasting zone' moves south into North Fife/Tayside

that looks like that my area is going to get some amount of snow upcoming wee update here its not snowed in a hour or 2 but those showers on the radar are inching more south

[JordanH859]

Snow shield working well. Had my hopes up earlier. Nothing since my last post, how typical!!

Not giving up hope just yet.

 

The wind is bitter up here looking out over the sea!!

So if this

  =   

Then this

36hrs                                                                         48hrs

 and this

 

means the central belt is going to get quite a lot of snow. Missing on the 24hr Fax but assumed to be in the vicinity. 

It appears from satellite that the Baltic sea is a snow making machine which will feed central Scotland for a couple of days continuously.

You mean the mine under your house.

Every chance I suppose.   It's like a bloody honeycomb round these parts.   Only thing that gives me confidence is that this house was

built in 1890. So I reckon if it was gonna go we would have had problems  long before now.   No signs of any subsidence at all over the years.

We have been here for almost 16 years.   Hubby's dad bought it in 1967 so not far off 70 years without any major problems.   We did have to replace 2/3 of the roof after the 2010 snow debacle which highlighted problems that we didn't know were there.   In those days apparently, slates were laid on top of horse hair, not felt.  Which had been gathering and storing moisture over the years,  causing it to rot I suppose.    Obviously we have fully renovated and refurbished the interior, trying to keep as many of the original features as possible.  

It has however proved to be a good, substantial family house over the years.

Cant believe after 10 years in the house just realised I can switch my outside light at the front on and watch the snow.... I literally have never used it since we moved in 10 years of standing up to squint at a lampie 30 yds away.... Third beefy shower in an hour 

[Mandy Langlands]

Still heavy showers on and off.... slowlllllly gaining a cm!

It certainly looks interesting for the central belt. The Meto updated forecasts are showing heavy snow symbols for the Glasgow area and even parts of the west coast. Hopefully @Mr Frost will get his deserved dumping of snow. Not seen him on here for a few days?

Just to reinforce what @scottishandy has posted here's the Euro4's 12hr precip totals:

Up to 12pm tomorrow:

Up to midnight tomorrow:

Up to 12pm Tuesday:

It doesn't affect everyone but some of you are getting a pasting soon.

I'll be livid if Dunbar steals Leiths snaw like that on Tuesday

more than here, have had 1 or 2 moderate ish snow showers and a covering now. Some beefy stuff moving into NE Fife heading my way now. The whole band you see across E Scotland will slowly, i mean slowly move S over the next couple days.
