Just woke up and wow without measuring there must be 12 a15cm level snow and it’s still hammering down
No work for me today !

[aggy]

just had a wee peak , oh my !!!! Drifts about a third up people’s door , snow level with the bottom of cars 

I’d say 5-6pm last night when things turned 

potentially we have that still to go 

Maby those totals weren’t ludicrous after all

A small addition in the city more in the form of graupel than snow but nice to see ,having checked the met charts I hope they are having a bad run sadly the GFS isn't a good 0z either, will see if the polar low for Thursday Friday is still there or gone

Anyone give me an update for fife for the next hour or so? Downside to being a home carer is the huge amount of guilt you feel when you can’t drive in snow

[Allyw12]

 Morning 

Nice to see all the snow pictures this morning.   looks like we got snow showers for most of the night here @edo   going to see how much snow we have now, I’m guessing 10cm.   hope we get a few more showers today

[Ruzzi]

Quick sit rep.... Just touching 19cm level snow depth now..... Nearly 8 INCHES!! and we still have the full day to come

 

[drm]

Fife looks great for a hit around 6.30am

I think you are right in the firing line next few hours. Looks like 2 lines, one through Fife into the m8, and one south of Edinburgh to north Lanarkshire 

[drm]

Looks like the convergence line has shifted slightly south so the shower activity in the central belt will be a little further south than last night along that line

Thank you. I’m not going to risk it. The sky is so white it’s light outside and it’s currently very heavy snow.

A good shout, there's reds on the radar near Fife and even green/yellow here was producing whiteout conditions.
