Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards

[JoeShmoe]

getting flashbacks to 2010/18, every time there's a snow shower the old boy over the road diligently comes out and shovels his drive plus his little bit of path outside his house. And an hour later the snow comes again and fills it in, then out he comes again. He did it back then too !!

Heavy snow on here after a bright morning. 

That shower looked like sliding along the Pentlands and a little South for us but then seemed to straighten up and now giving a more direct hit.

Beach snaw

Few more showers in the Firth this morning but mostly hitting the other side of the Firth. Black Isle should be renamed the White Isle snow right down to sea level   on the cliffs/beach something which is not a common occurence. Today must be

Bugger I've got to put the wheelie bins out today

Radar and sky looking tasty again on the Edinburgh-Coatbridge line, thick flakes coming down. I haven't tracked down a good ruler in this house yet but using the phone ruler I'd estimate 7-8 inches level here, very impressive fall given we had a dusting just 18 hours ago.

Been like this for about 30 mins now.

The sun came out so took the kids for a stroll in the snaw.. its gone very dark again and the odd flake floating about in the wind..

Much more snow in and around Glasgow compared to East Kilbride this morning. Roads in Glasgow were poor earlier. Everytime there’s a snow event the City roads become a shambles.

Going to clear the driveway 6 inches level snow now, drifts around 30cm my boots just disappear  ️

[NUT]

More heavy stuff. Lordy! Best snow since the beast easily 3 years ago

[Ross B]

More snow here than I thought, I recorded 14cm somewhere level. Yellow warning

Not often you see nearly the whole country at 0c or below at midday in February

No, that’s just wet from the snow

[Sceptical]

Today's goal is looking increasingly doubtful, haven't made it above the tree line yet.

Any estimation on how much is up in the Pentlands?

Not been up the highest parts for a while but I'm guessing it will be measured in feet not inches. Hoping to get up for a walk later.
