snow warning for NE Scotland wed and thurs from Fraserburgh across to Nairn and then down to Blairgowrie and over to Dundee

quite a bit of snow involved

A band of rain associated with Storm Christoph will push in from the northeast, turning readily to snow. Snow accumulations of 10-15 cm are possible at low levels, with 30-40 cm possible over the eastern Grampians. Strong winds will develop during the early hours of Thursday morning, increasing to gale force at times which may cause blizzards over hills and mountains. Wet snow at low levels may lead to icing on infrastructure, such as power lines. Cold temperatures to follow the snow, bringing a widespread ice potential over the area.

No.....luckily my garden slopes which is why I get a lot of standing water at the bottom but there would have to be a serious amount of water to reach the house. The dorma in my lost is leaking though...so that's fun

the actual band/front will clear east at about 2-3 am but tehre will be showers and much colder air tucking in from the North

but yes about 2-3am

by then your temp will have gone down 8 degrees
