Snow watch

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Might as well get going on this thread, though it is rather a tease at the moment.

The ECMWF model is hinting at the possibility of some much colder weather next week, perhaps bringing some snow to Scottish hills. BUT the met office are still going for quite a wild and wet affair instead.
The ECMWF shows quite an interesting scenario really.

There's some snow across the bay ...St Cyrus/Bervie ...that odd sort of patchwork where it seems to lie in some fields but not everywhere.
We have nothing on the ground here
It's windy and damp here, the weather station says 6.6 outside, clouds and rain and dropping pressure.
Yesterday was gorgeous, the frost laid all day and there were clear skies, just lovely.

Dh messaged and said the Queensferry Crossing is closed due to icy wire supports, so that'll be causing chaos nae doots.

ah...snow on the ground further down the coast too, the A92 was iffy and no gritters! (update from dh!)

Serve him right if he gets Snowed Out.

What a design screw up with the Queensferry Crossing....

What a design screw up with the Queensferry Crossing....

Isn't it just. The bridge built to ensure it can stay open in all weathers, closed due to standard Scottish weather 🙈

Lost most in overnight rain in low level East Dunbartonshire, Campsies clearly got more
snow though. If I were braver and didn't have a 2 year old I'd be investigating Crow Road up to the Stirlingshire border but I'm not that brave in potential ice!

yes, it's small consolation to know you won't get blown over, but you might have a giant icicle brick boinging through your windscreen.

Bah humbug from
Surrey ! Not a single flake

On the plus side, it has stopped raining

@silkiecat

Wow, your house is so pretty.

No snow in my neck of the midlands yet, but it’s bloomin’ cold!

Thanks Squiffany

You know - the cool thing is, it's just the start of December and there is still plenty of potential showing in the ensembles

I'm driving past Perth towards Edinburgh and it's really quite snowy! Feel like I've just driven into winter.

Qute a few snow reports here.
Bands of rain, sleet and snow showing up nicely here.

Nothing here (Leicester) - just dull and chilly - 3.7C

Extended warning area for the SE

There isn't much sign of things warming up for a while is there, OYBBK?

Well, tish and pish, I say.

It's snowing in Norfolk!!! The ground is wet so I don't know if it will settle but fingers crossed! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

nope Gloria, I expect in typical fashion it will warm up 3 days before Christmas

Take care travelling tomorrow first thing. Ice warnings out across East Anglia, central England and the Se of England.

Probably will, OYBBK

It's starting to come down quite heavily in the Peak District.

We had snow in suffolk.

Woke up to lots of snow on Cambridge! ⛄️

We have snow! Between the Peaks and GM.

Updated weather warnings.

Leicester's under the snow warning - think it'll mostly end up being sleet though.

Still coming!

We had a heavy frost last night, but DH did say there was (heavy) sleet mixed in the rain we had this morning. (I tend to have my head down into my pc, sideways on and a couple of feet from the window with the curtain and wall being what's in my peripheral vision eyeline - whereas he is closer, his window extends more into his eyeline, and he spends more time on the phone so can look out a lot more than me....).

Never mind, I am still taking my Cub Scouts on a night hike tomorrow night [evil] - they'll enjoy it!
