By Mark Vogan
A cold start dawned Friday but tonight snow will be the big story and by tomorrow, even colder air will settle in as Glasgow is now forecasted to hit only -2C tomorrow and may plummet to -9C tomorrow night!
For some temps dipped to around -2C (28 degrees), for others -3 to -5C (27 to 22 degrees) and a selection of locales which saw lightest winds, clearest skies and a locale favourable for "pooling of cool air into valley bottoms", well, the thermometer fell below -7C. Carterhouse in the Scottish borders saw the lowest reading this morning according to the BBC with -7.8C. I myself whom delivered to Douglas (S. Lanarkshire), Moffat (Dumfries & Galloway), Langholm (Dumfries & Galloway) my truck temp fell to -6C at Langholm, a mere 6 or so miles north of the English border and only 12 miles from a well known frigid spot in the Scottish Southern Uplands, Eskdalemuir which recorded lows to -14C last winter. Even Benson, a well known cold spot ijn the heart of interior southern England dropped to -7.6C and even a normally milder recording station that is Kew Gardens in central London fell to a cold -3.8C.
Whilst I travelled from Stonehouse near Lesmahagow down past Happendon services to Douglas and on southwards, the few clouds which didn't hold in much insulation from the surface cooling as my truck temp read -5C at Douglas, produced off and on little flurries. This a far cry from the mess a region stretching from Inverness down to Aviemore, across to Braemar and Aberdeen and down to Angus as well as the eastern Borders of Scotland were enduring with blizzard-like conditions and nasty icing problems. Yorkshire, Durham and other Engligh counties also found themselves battling cold winds and heavy snow.
Unfortunately folks who think they've been lucky and have escaped are right in two ways, yes, you have been lucky and have escaped, the problem however is, it looks likely that your luck is set to run out. Areas over central, western and southwestern Scotland and many places west of the Pennines of England including the Midlands are set to set to see snow move in tonight as well as another period of snow tomorrow night into early Sunday morning, this should bring much of the UK under a blanket of snow by Monday.
Another issue is that with snow by then covering a large swath of the UK and Arctic air in place overhead, this will result in low temperatures by day as well as night and some locales may see some remarkable cold for late November.
Amazingly, Glasgow is expected to drop to a frigid low of -9C tomorrow night, according to the BBC and by mid next week high's are expected to be as bitter as -9C and lows to -13C up at Aviemore.. are the models showing merit as the BBC and Met Office are starting to drop numbers in a huge way next week. Anticipation of snow on the ground and that branch of Arctic air "still" over Scandinavia and the North Sea moving more over us by early week may be showing signs of truth! Stay warm and stay safe, folks!
