Absolutely beautiful anvil cloud lightning over Co Tyrone this evening. We'd the perfect view and all the children in the estate were oohing and ahhing at the display. Was able to get the drone up and capture it. Love the reflection in the Lough. dji_fly_20230908_204127_0_1694202087245_video_low_quality.mp4

Nice and heavy here now...always interesting to note the difference in snow type in easterly v North Westerly airflows. Much finer, drier snow from the continental wind direction compared to thick, wet NW snow off the Atlantic. 20230309_175600.mp4

Pretty much full covering here 50 mins later

Starting to stick pretty well here now, none settling in Omagh as of yet.

18z looks very promising for us in Ireland. In Ulster, it has the precipitation moving in around midday and still hanging on in East Coast at 6am on Friday morning!!

Was away in Dublin yesterday seeing Christy Moore, came back to a winter wonderland with at least 4 inches on the ground. Schools closed and snowmen to build here

Finally the decent stuff has made it here

Away from the depression on the mod thread it's interesting to note that the PM flow could give us in the North a Christmas day surprise later in the evening. Accord8ng to the snow rows a 90% chance of snow Christmas evening/night. Happy Christmas to all on here, hopefully your weekend is full of more fun than the scrooge fest in the mod thread

Interesting update from met office today...the all important boundary line will be fascinating viewing this week. Will it push far enough south for us in Ireland? Obv us nordies best place to see some of the white stuff. Confidence is unusually low for the Christmas weekend; a north/south divide with cold air, wintry showers and increased risk of more significant snow in the north, and milder conditions with rain and showers in the south, is likely, but where the boundary will be is very uncertain. Eventually, as we head towards the New Year, the colder conditions are more likely to come to dominate, with wintry showers in the north and potential for a more settled spell to develop. This would bring below average temperatures, potential for areas of freezing fog with widespread overnight frosts, and very low temperatures given any snow cover. Towards the end of the period, there are signs of a trend towards more changeable weather, with an upturn in temperatures.

That wee feature they're discussing on Thursday early morning appears to heading for us in the North too. This is the latest from the ICON, will be interesting keeping an eye on this in next few days.

Been holding off but looks like we're pretty much all systems go!!! Hope everyone has been keeping well

Easily 4 inches plus here... 20220224_074550_1.mp4

I'm flying to Birmingham for work at 7am

That streamer has went right over me, snowing heavily for past 45 mins and radar looks packed. Lots of snow on the ground now

Good covering here and snowing hard, intense precipitation looks to be moving down from the NW too 20220218_075324_1.mp4

Very heavy snow here too, everywhere white now

Much more snow than I expected here this morning...another heavy shower just passed through. Went over to the lough this morning with my drone, will post some footage later 20220107_132150_1.mp4

Lovely to see this morning...a good 4 inches lying out there

Getting much heavier now 20220106_225357.mp4

Looking at the radar everyone in Ulster in with a great shot of waking up to white ground in the morning

Radar is packed behind this band and looks like heavy precipitation will continue through the night Nice and white here now

This has accumulated in last 5 mins, very heavy band pushing through here with lots coming behind It too 20220106_214543.mp4

Blizzard like conditions now 20220104_152855.mp4

Carryduff right now 20220104_151233.mp4

I know brexit stuck the border down the Irish Sea but can I ask a wee favour and could some of you more knowledgeable folks give an odd assessment of Ireland (I'm up north) in your pearls of wisdom
