I reckon that it might actually have stalled as well because we seem to be on the very edge of it according to the various radar maps and it doesn't appear to be moving from its current position.

Although the temperature is still just below freezing though, the snow here in NW Edinburgh appears to have turned more towards sleet and rain which is already causing our light dusting of snow to disappear.😡

That is important because without any heavier precipitation, we are unlikely to get the evaporative cooling from that which might be what is needed to turn everything back to snow again and give us a decent covering.

One unusual observation this morning was that the windows were completely misted over. When I tried to wipe off the condensation the inside was completely dry and all the condensation was on the outside of the cold glass, making it almost entirely opaque. The mild humid air had produced condensation on the outside, which is the opposite of what usually happens.

I expected around 7-10cm so am pretty disappointed with the 4-5cm we have.

We have that curious mix now of rain and little ice shards with a few flakes thrown in. The snow is now pretty wet and has a layer of slush underneath.

This means that we still haven't yet had a proper snow cover here this winter so far and given that the temperature is still slightly below freezing here (today is probably not going to be an ice day though as that really would be too much to ask for), you really have to wonder what on Earth it's going to take for us to get a proper covering of snow here during the actual winter.😡

That sounds very much like my experience earlier this morning.  By around 7 am there was a crust of ice on the snow from the ice pellets.  But then it softened in the drizzle that followed and by 8 am, it was good for making snowmen.  A very strange combination of precipitation, which just shows how hard it is to get sustained cold and snow.  

There's definitely a thaw - but it's a really slow one. We're forecast heavier rain this afternoon, but maybe we get lucky and the covering last through to tonight then freezes.

All the precipitation here was snow. I'm hoping that the cover survives into next week when the HP arrives to help deliver some proper frosts.

16cm level snow, really good event.  Had to help out a few drivers as roads are bad. 

0.2c, no thaw yet. 

Wow! I knew you'd be in the 'sweet spot' Tim

Hopefully it will last until next weekend!

Not sure whether we are getting convection from the North Sea now?

Sadly, it's a completely different story at this end of the city due to our closer proximity to the North Sea and lower elevation.

Instead of dropping, the temperature has gone up a bit to 2.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (the closest station to where I live).

The precipitation has got a bit heavier now, but it's still only plain old rain here without even a hint of any wintriness.

Precipitation stopped a few of hours ago and thaw now in place.

Currently 1.4c

I'll bet these are splendid pictures, just a shame I can't see them, it's so annoying I have tried everything to try to fix this but it's still eluding me 😒

They were splendid - but yes, they've gone. Better off using postimg.cc instead, I guess, they don't delete pictures so quickly!

All we need now is for it to stay like that and possibly turn more to snow so that we can get a decent covering but that would probably be too much to ask for
