I won't get too excited here in the West about tonight as I think the usual will happen in that the heavier precipitation goes through before temps drop. However Sunday looks good for all.
-
Any idea if the showers will pep up again later or die out for the day?
-
For me personally I prefer fast moving rain to slow moving rain!!
-
Is that it!!
-
Ok so maybe we should agree the furthest East didn't get much and neither did the furthest west so I need to move to somewhere hilly in the middle!!

Don’t think anybody in the west would begrudge the east getting some snow for once. The west has done rather well of late. We have even had a few light snow sprinkles this morning. Looking forward to this eve though. Will be watching radar like a hawk from Late this avo.
We're half the schools not closed a couple of weeks ago and pictures of cars getting stuck?

In fairness along the border we've had pretty much nothing! Only hills in the west.

You're not in Donegal though?
Well not exactly ( my location is actually Newton Stewart rather than Omagh) and I tend to get whatever Donegal is forecast when it comes to this kind of weather. Seems to turn to snow as it gets further inland. Temps not quite low enough here, much like a repeat of a fortnight ago which I'm sure many will be pleased about further east!

Well that's the end of that! Met ie have taken Donegal off their warning and say snow in the East. Oh well it's a lovely sunny frosty morning at least!
-
Think the problem is everyone who wants snow, like me, probably hopes for "snowmageddon" and when the charts show any signs it's easy to be over optimistic when realistically how often do those events really occur?!!

Latest GFS coldest uppers push away East quicker but second reload is closer to our shores earlier than previous run.
I think the bigger issue for the West is cold enough air reaching there in the first place.
-
As usual in this kind of set up we have to wait and see how far West the cold comes. Fingers crossed just!

Yes. The showers are moving at a snails pace though.
Well surely that's good! If it's snow you'll get it for longer!

The 'blob' over North West Inishowen will hit us, i'm sure.
I'm hoping for you!

TBH I'm fed up of watching temps and talking about dew points..... it's just not cold enough to snow!

Excellent stuff. Another wee suprise on the way tonight maybe!

I think that means we won't see much again. I see this as being a repeat of Mon/Tue.
cant complain about last night though (apart from the fact it's melted now)
-
I think it's been a few miles further south than expected.
has anyone heard anything about where the strong winds are hitting?
-
I have my fill of snow and am grateful but somewhere in the middle is getting pasted!

Rocheydub, this is 2 miles from me! This was today before the rain came here.
I would say the snowline is not more than 50 metres higher.
I live no more than a mile from my parents... it's been snowing with me since 8 and they have rain/sleet
-
Been great and btw got nothing out of the last two days
-
Stopping here now

When I say dry snow, I'm referring to snow that sticks to surfaces and melts.
I suppose what I mean is flickering between sleet and snow.
You're further north than me so I'd give it another half hour and it'll be snow I reckon!

It was soaking wet here but eventually turned white.

Amazing considering the radar. Nothing here!
