It was blizzard conditions on the M80 betwixt Stirling and Glasgow - but being wet snow, didn't really do much except make my car wet and the roads mucky.

If that was it, then for all the love in Toorpendom, where's my toys.

The main band is hitting in the next 6-12 hours
edit: Back on here now. Oddly we're at 1.6C so now less marginal than all the better placed locations last night!
And with full snow cover! Brilliant!

Meto rainfall shows it here now ? Still more to come, but I can't see it being the snowfest we all hoped for.

The main band is just about to hit here and we've already got a cm or two base, so I think we should see at least an inch or two. Any reports from west Fife?

We've got a thick covering out here in Kilmacolm and it's snowing pretty heavily at the moment. Glasgow is always rubbish for snow! Roughly where are you in Glasgow? I used to live in Newlands and Shawlands (at various different times) and it was utter pish for snow there :)

I'm right at the Passport Office, and it dreich, damp and downright Doomaggedon Central at the moment...

I live in the vain hope that something more substantial is going to hit us later on today - I've given up looking at the models....

Started to snow here at 6.30am and currently -4c. No problems settling on such frozen ground. Phone rang all last evening with folks looking for hay or silage(we have nothing spare) looking serious for livestock feeding in this area. Spring will definitely be late now.

I don't hold out hope for central Glasgow but the rest of the region should take a pasting of sorts though. Glasgow is just too marginal; too low down and two much of an urban heat island.

Good news about the snow, not so good if you can't feed the animals. Hopefully a quick snowstorm to melt situation for the sake of your animals/bank balance; but it doesn't look likely :)

Not on the Moray Coast anyway, they look like taking a real pasting, moreso than the central belt which will see sleet, rain or no precipitation at times overnight and tomorrow. Has anyone seen the UKMO ? http://www.meteociel...96-21.GIF?24-06
Less marginal then. Huge blizzard now!!

I can't believe this is it for snow then today.....I hope a lot falls before it turns to sleet/rain. In all fairness to the weather it is snowing its wee best at the moment :)

I take it all back - winter isn't over. Just outside Livingston and have a decent 2-3cm cover and still falling steadily.
