Just talking to the wife at home and its raining while netweather forecast is showing torrential snow

Get home Light fire feed livestock open curtains build snowman (delete when necessary)

Have to say i was starting to feel all excited on Friday evening with all the chat in here but then by sat evening its was bugger this. I do feel we do rely on computer models to much as when i said to the ole man yesterday that it was giving snow, his reply was that it didn't look/feel like snow, and in a way he is right. Usually it would dry up before a good snow fall but this doesn't seem to happen now. We are just getting this wet mush that will last a day and thats it....gone. Hope to see a good fall of snow tomorrow but it will be short lived i doubt i will even get a snowman built with the kids

That was a wild one. Thought slates were gona go.

Yep gettin whiter

Heavy snow here now after a sleety mix so far

Plan to do that race as well sperrin. Done it last year for the first time. That hill is a ho0r about 2 mile in.

Would they not need to have done it by now

School sent text to say they will be open. Will see wats its like in the morning

Not lookin to good for Monday as the island is set to take a direct hit from hurricane Ophelia.

Just a flurry nothing worth talkin about

Got the bugger built this morning. Kids happy now.

So thats that then. Are we still.on for another frenzy on the 23rd

Tell u what.....its crap snow for building a snowman in. To powdery to even bond. Kids were not impressed

Ye ha. Snowman building on the cards

Everything nice and wet now

Heavy shower of hail stones here now.

It just dont feel right. The ground will be to wet and i feel that this will greatly affect amounts. I always stand by the old days when it dried up for snow. This last couple of years this hasn't happened and its just a flash in the pan. Sorry to be down beat tonight.

I believe 2010 was a result of the Scandi high

I will go with 5cm @ 170m here outside Ballygawley

Neiller whats your thoughts on this cold spell

I miss Neiller

Hype it up to mongoose. How many times are we gona get this year

The first SNOW of 2017 is on the way later this week! An early Yellow warning of Snow/Low Temperatures has been issued for Northern Ireland... Colder air will move in across the country on Wednesday and showers will start to turn increasingly to sleet and snow, over the hills at first but as the cold air becomes more established across the country snow is likely at low levels. Strong winds are also expected during Wednesday and into Thursday which will push in frequent and heavy snow showers which could lead to some significant snow in places, along with blizzard like conditions with winds of up to 60mph possible. Note - Accumulations will vary across the country. #Tyrone Daytime temperatures are unlikely to get much above freezing from Wednesday onwards and nighttime temperatures are expected to be well below freezing especially in snow covered areas. We are also keeping a close eye an interesting little feature that could bring some rather significant snowfall to some places during Saturday, however this could be a tricky one to forecast as conditions for snow may be marginal, but it is worth a watch. The public should be aware of possible hazardous conditions later this week. With Ice and lying snow possible this may cause some disruption to travel. #TyroneLife (From NI Weather & Flood Advisory Service)
