Four times more than here. The world has gone mad  About bloody time you got some though. Is that the most since 2010?

There was about 7 or 8cm in BFTE in 2018 but otherwise, yes! A few photos from around the village with snow lying even at the harbour.

Had a couple of very good nights in the Fife Arms. Used to angle for team building exercises up there in Winter times. Meanwhile here light snow after a heavier shower and some chaos on the roads again.

[Sunshineandshowers84]

Big shower moving from West Lothian into South Lanarkshire. Think it will make around the Glasgow area soon. 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Was hoping for the showers to be more frequent and/or increase intensity but this one that has just passed over has delivered it’s verdict.

[Dalkeithsnow]

Really Heavy Snow in Dalkeith. Heaviest I've seen since the Beast.

Hey, if sustained hurricane force winds on the Isle of Lewis didn't merit a red warning a few inches of snow on the M8 isn't worth moving the warning time and extent for

I wonder if it’s to do with the country being in lockdown,, they won’t be expecting the normal traffic levels to warrant a red warning

[Cheggers]

Must be approaching 8cm now, my snaw angel 30min ago filled in already

[LomondSnowstorm]

Looking at the pressure charts on the UKV it's remarkable how consistent the positioning and even angle of the 1016hPa line is:

It moves north a little through the night and straightens out a bit (good for those further west I'd think?) then back south a bit, but if this is right this might somehow continue in a similar vein through tomorrow, aside from a slackening of the flow from the north.

[JamesM]

The showers are just a touch south each time to the point I caught the bottom edge of the last one. Unfortunately it was losing its intensity, but at least I join the party!

I was just about to give up for the night.. but a quick final look at the radar and it appears that some rather big showers have started to appear and if they follow current track then im bang in line for a good few showers in about an hour or so.. its gonna be a long night ❄❄❄

It might be for that reason they won’t give a red warning..but surely for the sake of the people getting jag they might put out a red warning to stop them risking there life

I dunno, they were pretty fast to slap an amber warning on the SE of the UK.... And they definitely shouldn't be moving about down there....

You've had enough.. its my turn..❄❄

[Bullseye]

Another thing to add with continued snow through most of tomorrow, is the temperatures which really drop away tomorrow night and especially Wednesday, MO have my location down as minus 7 and not rising above 0 during Wednesday at all. As someone mentioned earlier should hopefully mean snow stays around for most of this week.

[101_North]

Another cracking shower hammering down

[aggy]

I’m starting to struggle to see how 20cm plus will be possible here
