It might still be good, I was on the edge of the one that just made my road vanish.... The heavier stuff was South of me on the radar

Edinburgh City Council have just been round here polishing the road as it's on their list! Hate it! I've moved to the back window!

To my eye there are now three main streams, it may be coincidence @LomondSnowstorm but there's that one making landfall just south of Berwick just like 2018:

Yeah it's become quite neatly defined in the last hour or so, and they seem to be merging into somewhat more organised streamers with individual showers linking together with the one behind. If we could end up with effectively just continuous bands of snow then totals could easily end up out of control - if I recall correctly that was what buried Cumbernauld in 2018 and what the December 2010 red warning (bizarrely for Edinburgh in the second easterly) was for. 

 

We could also be talking about ice days anywhere that's under a streamer - the temperature when it's snowing heavily will just be the -10/-11 uppers warmed with the wet adiabat, so anywhere from 0C to -3C depending on the uppers and whether you're at sea level or have some elevation.

It does however have the benefit, that you can time how long it takes for the tracks to be hidden again.

It started snowing again about 2 minutes ago.

So yeah, pretty heavy.

We reached -0.1C on Monday, that was our maximum. So we definitely achieved an ice day!

Everytime you post that image I zoom in to see who's walking down the street only to be reminded that it's a traffic island

Hopefully, I'll post that image - and you won't be able to see the traffic island

So this is what we're up to here, 10 minutes before the Amber warning that doesn't actually extend as far as here kicks inIMG_20210209_025013.thumb.jpg.1e832f4f34b50c5176a48188b174568c.jpgIMG_20210209_025007.thumb.jpg.1e9c86d492b7e732b825917b47d8afe1.jpg

The streamer setting up does look like it might push a little northwards again, hard to judge but certainly can't complain about the totals so far with more to come tomorrow.

I'm out! Part of me wants to stay up, part of me wants to sleep and get the pleasure of seeing what's happened when I wake up! The part of me that's been enjoying a drink wins and it's off to bed. 

Enjoy folks and good luck

If I still lived there I would troll you and go and drive up and down there multiple times

You'd be saving the council a job.... The gritter would normally have been through at least twice by now....

And then around 5am, all the delivery trucks start coming through.
