    I completely expect you're right with this. Lulling us into a false sense of security most likely!

    Was up in Glasgow last weekend. Heavy snow in Manchester, petered out by the Lake District, the green, green grass of home arriving in Glasgow!!

    You'll be wanting palm trees next - is it real or an urban myth that palm trees grow near Ayr??

    The snow fairy is punishing you for your wanton onanism.

    There are many palm trees in lots of places in Scotland :-).

    I very much doubt a lack of palm is the problem.

    Because the Scottish councils does not use grit, they spray the roads with Buckfast hence the lack of snow

    Nah the media wouldn't report it anyway even if it was10 ft deep, unless it happens on their doorstep in the south of England they don't care.

    Yup, it might work to our advantage, however, as the London-fixated media aren't interested and so don't hype it up and cause panic-buying.

    It's not even as if it's a massive amount of snow they're having, though. I can remember Glasgow getting one foot of snow in one night at the end of March some years back.

    Lord knows we will probably suffer the freezing wind, rain, hail and snow all in 5 minutes then it will be over.

    A little snow in Kilwinning but not much lying about. How dull :(

    Simply put - because you are in the West. This snow event (for Scotland) has been an Eastern feature. All the snow has come from a system that tracked up the East coast and gave a 48 hour period of snow for the East.

    Kirkmichael is around 70 miles to your NE and it has 18 inches.

    That is weather for you

    Glasgow has it's own little micro-climate, or so I heard on a documentary once. Due to where it is situated.

    When I was at work this morning I found that one end of the city I work in was just a bit icy, and the other end of the city had quite a deep covering of snow, only 2/3 miles apart. Weird that.
