Met office graphics suggest we may get a bit of snow on the coast as the winds move to more of a south easterly on Friday.  

Hmm, will need to keep an eye on dew points though, higher thicknesses, higher 850s, wet baw temps may be more marginal on the coast by then (it's so nice not to have used that word marginal for a couple of days!).

Those winds look like bringing blizzard conditions at elevation. Sustained 30mph wind speeds whipping up lying snow will see higher roads blocked.

Really interesting setting the date and time in the options dropdown and just watching many of the pastings across Scotland unfold on the radar!

It really is a stunning winter's day.  Blue skies and currently -2.3C.  Could be a very cold one tonight.

Upto 1c so no ice day here in Glasgow which is a shame. Seems a really difficult thing to get here. 
 

Cracking day though.

Morning all

Hope you are well!

I have sixty pages to catch up on! 

Few brief moderate/heavy snow showers made it through here on Monday morning:

Overnight into this morning:

Between all that..about twenty snow flurries! 

I was not in the yellow warning at any point and my expectation was for a few dustings so it all went to plan for here! 

Lovely satellite image of the current snow cover:

Oh and this. 

 


Hopefully Saturday delivers the goods!

I have twenty minutes to spare...time to catch up on this thread! 

All the best to you all.

I feel your pain mate. Hopefully a covering arrives before it melts down here. 
Thoughts are turning to spring in the strong snowless sunshine

The gf who hates snow makes me want to kill myself by sending vids such as below (Just south of Falkirk, 600ft asl)

WOW!

Just been out to the garden with the dog. I wasn't really expecting a massive increase on the pictures I took at 10pm last night. There is easily 5-8cm just at the backdoor making it difficult to open. The steps up to the backyard have pretty much vanished. Anywhere we walked last night has vanished. 

It's still not deep as 2010, when I had to wear recycling bags on my legs because  the snow was quite literally up to my knees.

I'll try and get photos and measurements in an hour or so.
