Sorry we'll need to see further proof that this is happening in Pitenweem. Can you get a Police Officer or Church Minister to confirm ? 

Pleased for you, you were breaking the natural laws of meteorology for too long!

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Mair ae a wee cow'rin, tim'rous beastie at work the day, Embra west. A 101 North type day. 

Better at hame where showers are slowly building up cover. 

Looking lively offshore fae fort SS. Might get masel a wee streamer yet.

Persuaded my wife to go for a pre tea walk in the sun just before our heaviest and most prolonged shower of this spell. (I knew from the radar it was coming). Eased off now but more incoming.

I am about to do the very same with this.... 

 

Just patiently stalling until its close

I shall come back with the photos

[ShellyEK]

I'm so jealous of everyone that's getting the snow. Zilch here in East Kilbride

[lorenzo]

Okay - that's more like it

 

[LomondSnowstorm]

Euro4 broadly the same as before, maybe less for the "Slamannan bullseye" and more for Fife but still quite impressive totals flagged.

No sign of graupel here in the heavier stuff

[Sunny Leith]

Dear Satan, if you're reading this I'm ready to do a deal. Just give me 5 cms of snaw in Leith in the next 24 hours, or even 4 ... or 3 ... and I'll do your evil bidding !

Snowing in the centre of Glasgow, heading home shortly as don't want to miss the main event. 

[metallikat34]

Finally! Steady snow that is sticking in south Edinburgh.

A very fine line between 10cm and 35cm for here.

im not good at reading charts but it looks like im in the redish brown colour?

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

I love sea effect snow  

Brilliant u are getting it too @Hawesy

[Sawel]

Been an exceptional 24 hours! 

[JoeShmoe]

must be a few cm already now ! and loads more big blobs in the sea

hoping that bad boy just hitting Dunbar has Edinburghs name on it

Mostly sunny and cold here with a maximum of -0.5c . Drying up process in full swing with any overnight dusting disappearing in the cold wind       Fine day for outside work pruning bushes and trees.

Showers trundling along the southern sideof the Firth all day and going ashore on the northernside of the Firth

Photo of one from this morning and  one this afternoon in the setting sun.

 

Started off at -3c this morning and now back to -2c

[Jambo Fowler]

Looking at radar, Am I right in saying Perth is finished with snow tonight, tomorrow?

[aggy]

Are the convergence lines splitting ? Or is it my eyes 

so to keep track of tonight tomorrow the is this the position the line stays on or does it go north then come back up the fourth 

 

just so I’m prepared and don’t have a meltdown 

[NorthernRab]

We are so frustratingly close to a streamer of heavy snow, just need the flow to move slightly more NE to SW. 

Don't think it's going to happen though  

Someone tell me I'm wrong please

I’ve measured 2cm so far. The surface I tend to use to measure snow is the top of a small wall. I wonder what surfaces everyone else uses. 

[edo]

Been very heavy showers here last couple of hours... One lasted 40 minutes just as went out to sledge and snowball fight which was just luck.... Ive steered clear of the radar today just looking now. Hope the whole perth contingent have had these showers I have been getting. Defo lining up beefier ones towards Lothian now but plenty random showers being generated and given the forecasts in here confident will have about 13cm to 15cm by tomorrow morning. 

Been so consumed by this spell not looked beyond Wednesday so may go and see what the future potentially holds aswell. 

Delighted for @Hawesy

And just like that I think @Norranceshower from his walk has reached here.

Vid from around 4.45 earlier.

GERONIMO !!!   Been going 15mins now.   Radar sure is deceiving!

[Hawesy]

Thank you, folks. Glad I was able to share the moment  Also glad about the timing: just as I got home from work. If I’d missed it after all this time I would have been gutted! 

Of course now I’ve had a couple of cm, I want more!  But like @edo I’ve backed off the radar watching, something more pleasurable about just looking out the window!
