its allegedly about 5 deg here, with sunshine. feels like 0... snow on the the hills about 600m sth - where i do my cycling..

[MikeTheThinker]

Just back from a top-up shopping trip and beach dog walk.  Clear. cold - car says it's 5C but the wind is biting.  Tesco & Aldi were like zoos; you would think it was time to stock up for the Armageddon, not just oddments post-indulgence!  Beach was clear and f-in COLD!  Onshore wind at around 20mph so pooch got more of a quick trot that a leisurely walk ...

I don't know which deity we pi$$ed off but it's just turned really stormy here; gale force gusty wind and serious snow.  It's not at blizzard density yet but you certainly know when you've been out in it!

Drove to Muirkirk today, was 3.5 degrees according to the temp sensor of the Furby. Done some rounds in Dalmellington and when driving home I get to the end of a straight and the temp plummets and I'm in a blizzard. Fabia drove like it was on rails though.

Happy to be in the North East of Scotland today and not driving in the Glasgow area or in the West.

Maybe @AnnoyingPentiumor others can say how things are in the snow if they have any.

No snow here yet, but it is forecast. My friend in Greenock sent me a photograph of the snow they're having though, looks quite nice.. in photo.

@roottoot - currently snowing once again. Quite heavily too.

[KenONeill]

There was snow here; now more like slush, but it's all over the Clyde valley based on the Scottish News and travel report.

Apparently the stretch of M77 motorway between Kilmarnock and Fenwick is down to one lane as a result of the snowfall.

Very cold and quite windy with heavy snow one minute and rain the next...   seems it can't make up it's mind but this morning and yesterday we had a few cycles of snow covering that cleared with the rain and now it's hailing!

[skomaz]

And now 10 minutes later it's white over...  😉

Boringly unexciting here.  Cold, damp, chilly breeze but no precipitation in sight.  I'm hoping it stays that way as I have some paintwork to touch up on the outside render today ...

OK, I blinked ... and it's now hailing. Bummer!

 

I know the masonry paint is textured but I'm not painting in this and getting a lumpy finish from the hailstones ...

I cant get off to the hills today but hopefully blue skies tomorrow when i can get away to the Lecht and then Tomintoul.  

 

Looks cracking today as i see it @ Glenshee via their webcam.

Snowing here.

Cold here in Herts this morning, but the sun was out, so I decided to give the Octy a quick splash.

Is that the Magnetic Brown?

[Baxlin]

It’s Maple Brown Metallic, with beige interior, took me a while to find one in this colour combination, tbh

It was a bit like that here ~07:30 but that was down to slush by ~09:30 and now there's only snow on the grass and greenhouse.

It's still around down here Ken. Ayr is fine as always though. 

 

On another note, there's a 9N Polo in a field outside my village, obviously run out of talent.

Nestling on the leeward side of the Downs, this is as cold as I've seen it for quite some time, on the way to work, waiting for the screen to de-ice:

 

 

A moment of snow yesterday lunch time, but blink and you'd have missed it.

Expecting much warmer weather tomorrow as a front moves in and the sky is going very red.

Indeed, very purple here. I'll upload snaps soon.

It started off like this in Aldi in Ayr...

 

 

Then when I got home...
