We can only hope it either stops or turns back to snow at some point (soon ). Still, I've got over 8 inches* out the back where the snow hasn't been disturbed which is pretty good considering the snow has been coming over the building from the front (i.e. the back garden has been sheltered from the heaviest snow). I hope the snow doesn't thaw too much overnight as I am up at my parents' house tomorrow morning and they should have caught a lot more snow (a whole 1/4 mile away).

*I have purposely underestimated this before some troll comes on and declares I can't possibly have that much snow, etc., etc. I have been called stupid too many times before on here

yeah CMD looks like colder air will make its way back down tomorrow so could bring a nice reload of snow but just now its horrible rainy and mushy, Also I think I will climb Ben Lomond after the weekend some mega depths up there I would imagine

edit; just looking at gfs 12z keeps the colder air over us for next week or so with plently of precipitation next 3 days are going to bring more snow and Imo some sort of records must be broken here as the depths of snow being recorded in this 5 day period (Wednesday to Sunday) could exceed 3 metres in some places easily infact. never mind 14-22 inches try 80 inches plus :O

Yeh some mammoth falls occuring on the hills.
Could be looking at 100cm in some places.... lucky sods.
This could be one of the Scotish Ski centres greatest years. They haven't had 1 SW ' hairdryer ' all winter I don't think.?

Never mind one of the greatest seasons I am going to put it out there and say this season will be the best on record, I wonder if anyone has information on total depths in cairngorms must be immense by now

Even if we get no more snow and it just rains now this will go down as one of the best snow events in my life.

ughh all gone a bit horrible here now heavy rain at the momment seems the cold air has just went too far north, still a great covering but all mushy and horrible i suspect I would need to be around about 300-350m asl to still have snow falling. Cheers

I think that was about the snow level this afternoon. I drove over the the Campsie road to Fintry this afternoon and although heavy rain low down it was wet snow over the higher parts of the road and I think that road is about 250-300 metres asl in places. There looked to be about 2 foot of level snow with big drifts just off the road.

yeah that sounds right hmm just wondering what would have happened if temps had been a couple of degrees colder seriously Glasgow city centre would have shut down literally!

It hasn`t stopped snowing here all day!
At the moment very heavy and a sharp wind, 1c.

[howham]

Temp here is 1.3C (DP 0.7C) and falling. Snow seems to be getting a little heavier too. Will it start to accumulate again?

I'm so jealous of you guys with loads of snow... Could you kindly sent it my/our way?  

We've had rain on & off all day and most of our snow is disappearing quickly 

[Mondy]

I haven't had any global warming today, just rain too. But, look on the bright side - no dodgy roads/pavements to hurdle over the coming days as the thaw/slush sets in.

[kold weather]

Well with possibly still another 12-24hrs of snow for some parts, I'm now going to close this thread and make you guys a fresh one!
