Snow watch!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I know it will seem quite crackers to start this when the weekend has been so lovely, but we are starting to get some model consistency on GFS for the potential for snow Friday night into Saturday as a northerly plunge looks set to take place.

Primary risk areas are obviously for hillier parts of Scotland and also Wales, but higher ground in the south and south east including over dartmoor and down the east coast may also see some sleet or wet snow.

Don't want to upset anyone but we've just had a snow shower

Bet we won't see any here for months yet....

you up north Seaelf?

ice storms are horrid. Good luck plates.

Settles into thread

OK hoochymama, no sledge-polishing! maybe just the once

Where are you platesandflowers ?

Aberdeenshire OhYou

It is definetly cold enough to snow. I am not long back in and absolute freezing.

@PestoSurfissimos In Maine. Going out for a bar ride now and it's soooo cold!

Boat ride lol. I wish it were a bar ride!

A939 snow gates have been closed due to heavy snowfall. This is a high level road and usually one of the first to be closed.

Apparently the snow gates at Tomintoul Have been closed

Lobsters and skiing, what a combination

We actually checked our lobster traps tonight on the way home and we have 8 lobsters! So it will be lobster for dinner tomorrow!



I'm telling you all.... winter is coming. We've had crazy hot summers everywhere, watch out for crazy cold winter.

Braemar Snowgate (A93) is closed but image only showing a little snow. So probably due to ice and snow at Glenshee ski centre area - their webcams may show that in daylight.

I've just checked my weather for the west miss formtoday amd ot has snow mid morning! Can't be true!

*and it

We’ve just got rain forecast in the south-east. Did have a short hail shower yesterday though.

Can’t believe snow watch has started!

Hail on and off all day yesterday in Cornwall of all places! In one week we've gone from basking in sunshine at the beach and swimming in the sea, to woolly hats and gloves at night. I doubt there will be proper snow anytime soon though.

@platesandflowers my relatives in Maine are seeing plenty of snow as well - up past Grafton Notch. Where are you? We spent part of the summer on Vinalhaven eating our body weight in lobster 

My mum has a little snow. Down the road from Balmoral Castle.

Just woke up to dd running up the stairs shouting “it’s snowing”

For those down the eastern side, into the south I think the best chance of a few wet flakes mixed in will be later today as the heavy rain goes through, especially over higher ground. It won't settle.

Hail showers aplenty today I think.

It's snowing here - rural Durham.
It won't lie though, too wet !
