Wee video from about an hour ago

 

I’ll give you 25p if you put that in the MAD thread and say you’re a bit disappointed you haven’t got 150cm

[Polar Gael]

Had about 8cm on the level by this morning and was thinking that was decent - if unspectacular - from an easterly. Slight thaw today as well in the sunshine as the temperature wriggled up to 0.5C.

And then, since darkness fell, we have been totally whumphed, doubling that total. Never underestimate the power of the Beast! 

Currently -1.6C.

"Some barely detectable lamppost snow just now in Currie, Edinburgh"

Barely detectable lamppost that is.

Edo I just want to thank you... I was very sceptical about this one, due to the very many disappointments we've had over the past few years.  This doesn't quite make up for all of those, but it's pretty much the best snowfall here since 2010 and I am kinda hoping we get a bit more overnight too

I hope everyone is enjoying the snow if you have it and if you don't, I know exactly what that's like too! 

 

[Northern Strath]

A max of -4c, a dusting from a wee glancing shower around tea time but as ever it’s The Least from the East snow-wise here, hopeful something more will materialise. No heavy snow but it’s -8c and we do have the universe above us

Yeah I thought that myself the shower activity further NE has fell away a bit 

[Eastern Scotland WX]

On track to reach 30cm by 10pm. Sn hour of heavy snow ahead of us here.

It's a very confusing radar, that last shower over Edinburgh very sharply darted northwest before it hit us but it does seem most of the movement is NE-SW. I think somewhere in Central Scotland will end up getting a pasting but very fine margins. 

Sadly we don't have the sort of tool @metallikat34 has for the US, would be bloody useful about now!

I think it is!

The Dundee to Perth Road looks brutal.

[Northernlights]

We  have  a  nice fresh inch of snow   and radar seems to suggest more later . Will post pictures in the motning especially as  Aurora  Storm has been sending videos of East Lothian snowstorms to cheer me up

 

[aggy]

The showers look very few and far between our east now I am using the free NW radar tho 

[BurntFishTrousers]

Major streamer ongoing for 20 mins. Real dumping out of it.

Thank you, need another 2cm to hit 20

 

 

[WhiteXmas]

Is it just me or is there a much more organised band forming due west to Glasgow and beyond towards midnight?

27-28cm here now. This snow is beyond my expectations!

Plenty coming in still. They literally gather pace as they enter the Forth estuary. Conditions ripe all night I reckon.

Well, just had to go out and have another look  Measuring 22cm now and still chucking it down... it would be really nice to reach 30 as I believe that's approx. what 2010 topped out as, so beating that would be legendary!
