Currently experiencing a heavy snow shower here.
Visibility dropping below 200 meters and the snow begining to accumulate on the ground - including roads. Night has arrived very quickly here, even though sunset isn't for a few minutes yet.

Quite an outstanding change of light. It truely was as dark as a moonlit midnight here a few moments ago, I've never experienced anything quite like it.

And some more beefy showers in the past hour have created rather hazerdous
roads in this area. A glimpse of which can be seen on my website's front page, url below. (Sorry about the blurred picture - no tripod at hand) No sign of gritters thus far.

We have about 2-3 cm of wet snow that fell quickly, snowing lightly now at
19.30. I would have to be 1200 feet up in the hills walking the dog when the heavy shower arrived, I was spitting out snow and slipping all the way down the hill to the village in the dark. I arrived home like a snowman as I was walking facing west all the way down! brian aberfeldy "Alex Stephens Jr" wrote in message ... Currently experiencing a heavy snow shower here.

I had the joys of cycling home in a horizontal blizzard just after you posted. Watching the sky clear ahead of me sounded very similar to your own experience. Couple of big dumps of snow after that, kids outside looked like they were having fun. Partner arrives home looking like a snowman, much hilarity! Was the wind meant to drop so low though? Its gone very,very quiet here again, much like the storm on tuesday night. Great site too, eying up possible locations for a station here, only one I know of in Edinburgh is www.isitstillraining.co.uk |

Showers have became more frequent here as the evening has progressed.
Looking at the radar - we may well be in for a persistant spell of snow with an echo heading this way, stretching out to Kintyre and beyond. Generally a mixture of snow, soft hail/snow grain. Around 2cm cover at the moment with less and less of a thaw in between showers. Alex. ºººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººº Conditions in Wishaw @ 10:10pm , 17/1/05 Temperature 0.6 °C.
