Snow Watch 2025/26

[missy]

As we have already had a little snow up in scotland I thought I would start the snow watch page up. This page is for you to document where we have our first snow of the season, either on the webcams or in your local town.
Good Luck and I hope you all get some snow this year.....

Bit slow in Scandinavia this year, as it was last, but models showing day 10 or so things will change, expect northern areas of Finland, Sweeden and Norway to get their first proper snowfall later next weekend.

Looks like we’ve got our first hints of winter arriving, Scotland is seeing the season’s first yellow warning for snow, and there’s also a yellow warning for ice further south. The first proper cold snap of the year is finally here. Anyone else noticing a real chill settling in? What are things looking like where you are?

[GarbageBags]

Sunny. Cold. Calm. Perfect.

Big downgrades for us, no snow expected now at all. After just a couple of days ago being forecast snow Tues/Wed/Thursday and Friday. Always seems to be the way.

Same every year, we get the build up and then nothing.

I know forecasts do, but I wonder if model outputs are programmed to "er on the side of caution". And make predictions a little more severe than the raw data suggests, esspecially further out.

For sure forecasts do, because loads of people would complain if the snowstorm / wind / rain event was underforecast, and few would if it was overforecast.

It's as if models "seek drama" esspecially further out.
