        Snow in Inverurie: what to expect

        Inverurie is in Aberdeenshire, in the Met Office’s Grampian warning region. At around 58 m above sea level, Inverurie is low-lying, so snow here often turns to sleet or melts unless the cold air is well established. Of the last 5 winters, the snowiest here was 2025/26.

        The answer above is worked out for Inverurie’s own position. YES means snow is falling now, SOON means it is forecast in the next 24 hours and NO means neither, with a note if ice, freezing rain or lying snow could still cause trouble.

        Will it settle?

        Snow only settles when the surface it lands on is cold enough. The air can be below freezing while the ground is still holding heat from a mild week, so the first flakes melt as they land. We look at the forecast ground temperature as well as the air: at 0°C or below, snow settles almost everywhere; between about 1°C and 2°C it collects on grass, car roofs and garden furniture first while roads and pavements stay wet; above that, most of it melts. Heavy snow can beat a warm ground by cooling it, which is why a short burst often settles when a long, light fall does not.
