Am taking a chance that this brief window in the weather (as forecast by the Met Office) will last long enough for me to be able to get to Bruntsfield on the bus to pick up my bike from Pedals after its suspension service, and ride it home. Wish me luck...

No snow due, wind increasing a bit.

Snowing here now, albeit fairly light. And the air temperature's gone up since 9am, now 4.5°C rather than 1.7°C. And the Met Office still seems convinced there's more snow to come:
and the sky's looking pretty grey right now...

Hmm, [mostly] blue skies and no snow here now...
Met Office still seems convinced it's snowing, though.

West Lothian Council seem to have cut right back on gritting the roads - getting from the station to the office here in Livingston was quite scary. Hopefully it will have all thawed by the time it is time to go home.

I can't read the story because the Herald has decided that I'm no longer a subscriber. but all the other weather apps say warm and wet for edinburgh?

The tabloids seem to be suckers for these "weather armageddon" stories put out by 'forecasters' you've never heard of before. George Monbiot did a pretty thorough takedown of such whackos ten years ago:
Do the weather forecasters quoted by the Daily Mail actually exist?
And another three years later:
Daily Express weather warning: beware a shower of extreme inaccuracy
The Herald's headline is egregiously misleading, hinting that it's actually that the Met Office that is forecasting snow this week. They're not. As SRD says, their forecast for the next seven days is mild temperatures for the time of year and no overnight frosts.
I don't have the time or inclination to delve in to the background of the source behind the Herald's story, WXCharts: it may turn out that they are just incompetent rather than deliberately making stuff up (Hanlon's Razor may well apply). But what I don't understand about the demonstrably fake forecasters is why they do it. Surely they don't get paid actual money for being consistently wrong?

Knew I was tempting fate by putting new felt on the shed roof the other day.

Ok, but was it like this?

It somehow got sunny again (but still windy) for riding up to get the boy from school.
I really thought at 2pm I was going to get drenched.

Edinburgh schools half day really really worked against me!

I got a bus to Glasgow yesterday and walked to George Square. I was sodden when I got there - the streets were shallow burns, my feet were squelching and my trousers were soaked through. I should have worn my cycling gear of proper waterproofs.

FRB was pretty close to my limit this morning and closed to bikes this evening. Wimped out and took the bike on the train.

Conditions were likely to be “atrocious” for much of the UK, while the Highlands could experience some snow, the Met Office said.

There was a mahoosive puddle at the bottom of Cultins Road this morning, to the extent that even the shared pavement on the west side was partially inundated.
