I can't see the 101 or Straiton resort's opening anytime soon  

Not looking like it sadly

[Ross B]

Very wet snow falling here now with slush on the car windscreens. Won't be staying up so will see what it's like early tomorrow! 

[NUT]

Was rain this latest shower but has turned to sleet

[JamesM]

Showers now switched to heavy snow. 
 

 

 

Possibly distant lightning also.

Amazing thunder snow while passing the Eaglesham moors

[Ruzzi]

Been tracking this bad boy, optimum direction for here, should give a solid covering. Just starting as I type 

[Puffy MacCloud]

Fell asleep in front of telly at some point, got woken up by a boom, looked towards window and there was a flash of lightning. Looked out and it’s snowing. I got thunder snow!

Getting going now, hoping for a couple of inches by the morning..... Starting to sound like my Mrs

[edo]

watching a blob aswell wondering and hoping.... Still not seen a flake... another 10 mins or so and should know if I will see flakes or if the bulb is to wet

[Stormeh]

Exciting drive home tonight, good to see some snow at last with the added bonus of a few flashes of lightning. Hopefully this a sign of things to come by the end of the month and into February.

15 miles down the road in Irvine it is bone dry.

[Ross B]

Everything is white here with moderate snow falling and the radar looks good for more! I think there's been a decent bit of melt since the heavy showers in the early hours as there's a deeper patch of snow left on the cars of about 2 inches which hasn't slid off. Nice to see winter again, even if it's only for a few hours. 

 

Cars are getting stuck on the M77  and there's snow all the way down to sea level in Glasgow and Ardrossan by the looks of the traffic cams.

Oooh woke up to big fat snowflakes, Satsuma size, falling from the sky and a very unhappy cat sitting on the windowsill staring in and complaining. Probably only an inch, maybe inch and a half but have a nice all over covering. 

[101_North]

Meh! The lightest of coverings and snowing lightly. Disappointed with that to be honest but seeing as it was still raining pish well after midnight here I'm not that surprised! Must have caught very few showers overnight as the house cam (triggered by our resident naughty fox) suggests there was nothing at 5am.

Light sugar coating here too oh well onto the next cold snap

[101_North]

Radar shows this current shower rapidly losing intensity over West Lothian with only light stuff reaching here. To be fair that's pretty much what the Met forecast suggested! 

[jellybaby1969]

Well as expected a very wet rainy morning

[Ross B]

Hammering it down now, it's even heavier since I took this photo.

Winter wonderland here. Local roads reported as very difficult and waiting to hear if the school is closed. 
 

Edit: still going and on exactly 10cms

[Stormeh]

This is what winter should be like! 

The kids are excited and hoping that school is closed so they can enjoy the snow as it won’t last long.

[101_North]

Amazing how quickly intense showers can simply fizzle out!

Snowing, and lying, in the south side of Glasgow. If the radar says sleet here I can confirm it’s definitely snow.

[Coopsy]

Snowing nicely in Killearn, north of Glasgow (95m) 

 

 

[edo]

absolutely hee haw made it through as far as here, the radar is a liar a liar I tell you. 

Let's hope the pattern the GFS been hinting at looking to bring in has some legs. 

I did say last year if I only got one spell like we did last February I would be happy and I do mean that so fingers crossed for that one proper snowy cold spell.
