Polar Side

I think we’ve had a bit of a raw deal out of this cold spell.

I had a lovely winter walk in the Pentlands today.

I think the biggest problem was the path of the showers. Last night they mostly came in from the northeast crossing the eastern side of Edinburgh and continuing south over Straiton/Penicuik area and further south. Currie/Balerno only managed to get on the edge of a few flurries as we needed a slightly more easterly flow to bring them this way.

I did leave it a good 10 mins before posting about the snow shower so as not to steal your thunder. You can report on the next one!

Hi folks, here’s to hopefully a decent winter to come. Just had a light snow shower here giving the finest dusting on all surfaces.

Bank!!

I’m at 0.2 on my garden thermometer but I don’t know how accurate it is. First time above 0 for a long time though. I guess the dew points must have risen too. It’s been a decent cold spell though but it was always looking like coming to an end this weekend so not too unexpected. Maybe we can get a bfte in January!

Morning all, good to see some people doing well out of this, even @Hawesy i looked out about 5.30 and there was a fresh covering of powdery looking snow but temps have obviously lifted and it’s a slushy covering on top of the old snow now. Probably the lack of intensity to the band has played its part. Oh well, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for our next cold spell.

That’s the Western slopes of 101 resort open for the season.

This wee clump of showers looks like it reinvigorated after crossing the Forth. Maybe one for @Kirkcaldy Weather

Hopefully being about 10 miles from the coast and around 150 meters we might have a chance of staying as snow tonight.

Yeah I thought it was odd you hadn’t posted yet. You forced me in to stealing your thunder.

Getting quite heavy here now, can someone let @101_North know?

Morning all, it’s been snowing light to moderately (but mainly light) here for the past hour giving a wee top up to the remaining snow from Thursday.

Hi folks, things are starting get interesting! Hopefully we’ve got a decent winter ahead of us after a last years poor effort. Without wanting to jinx things, I’m looking forward to reading our resident experts views and analysis over the coming days, weeks and months and the snow reports from everyone.
