Not at the moment it isn't and have you seen the 18Z. Wow!!!!
But feet firmly on the ground herer. It could still go so wrong.

Those charts would indicate one of the best polar blasts in many a year.
Here in the central lowlands, not much snow makes it over the highlands on
winter northerlies, but that would certainly carry some mighty snow showers.
And night time minimums, well - potentially very severe in this part of the
country with the afore-mentioned shelter.
A north easterly to follow would be the icing on the cake, but that GFS run
seem to shy away from such a scenario.
Let's get the mild stuff out the way first.
