[Record Cold Christmas On The Cards?]

Has to fall, lying snow doesn't count.

Ah cheers. No chance then

[Record Cold Christmas On The Cards?]

I was just wondering has anyone put a bet on for a white christmas in the UK?

Does it need to snow on the 25th or does the snow lying count as a white christmas? Have a few quid on but am not sure :unsure:

I expect the shower activity in NI may die down soon as the rain from the south moves north just a guess really.

Probably. Seein frequent flashes of sheet lightning with this second storm that is passing over. Rainfall is quite intense.

[General Storm Discussion Thread]

Been rumbling away past hour on the east coast of NI. Very heavy rain starting up again.

[General Cold Spell Discussion]

Think I goin lose power soon. Tv keeps switchin off and on and the lights keep flickering. Sleeting away on the coast in last half hour

[General Cold Spell Discussion]

It was startin to snow in Ballymena on way home, startin to lie a bit on the shanes hill so the cold air diggin further east. Away from coasts it could be epic

Problem is the wind comin off the Irish sea at mo keepin the temps up and fallin as rain or sleet - yet 2miles up the road more inland it is snowing away. Once the wind eases after 6 I could see a good dumping for places

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

I can see it settling tonight. Could be quite heavy as well

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

The aul shanes hill is impassable. Tried to get to Ballymena but had to turn back, never seen it so bad with heavy snow. Just sleet to lower levels at mo amazing what a bit of height does. And it wasn't even that far up so I think it will turn to snow down at lower levels soon!

Tomorrow evening into Saturday morning looks interesting. Probably rain/sleet but you never know.

Be snow on east coast cause the easterly wind died down! Damn why is it when it blows we always get sleet - Well not tomorrow night. May get a covering like last weekend

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

Met office called it right here on east coast with sleet and rain. Melted all snow that was lying from few days ago. Let see what the weekend will bring.

Whiteout here in Antrim. Wonderful

we have wet snow right on the east coast - told you will see the best action inland round Antrim!

Hope still lyin tomorrow morn I have to go work up Aldergrove lol! Or maybe get a day off haha!

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

Looking at the forecasts looks fantastic for the north west.

Looks better for the east tbh. Wouldn't like to be ramblin up the Mournes or Slemish later on

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

If I don't need a spade to dig out in the morning I know who to blame.

Well look south at the radar - That is the main band that should drop a few cm's as it intensifies over the North overnight!

Plus is the main band headin North east maybe hit round Belfast area if you follow it on radar - Can't see much for the North West or am I wrong?

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

In all fairness every weather report from earlier was sayin the heavy snow would move in around 2am - 6am in places. This is just the light precip need heavier stuff to fall. So don't give up just yet -

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

Complete whiteout at sea level - Snow is heavy! Ballygally beach is white - Must be gettin a good dumping up the aul shanes hill

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

Well this is a suprise - it is snowing heavy down on the east coast!

LoL look at radar talk about local! Bout time some precip hit me. Stranraer looks like gettin the worst!

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

Very cold and dry this morning.

Sundays snowfest has of course gone south into the ROI. Any heavy snow for me no shown for Wednesday, with a 35cm blizzard, will be interesting to see if this tracks south also nearer the time.

The met office has a watch warning out for Wednesday. Though precip prob miss the North yet again lol.

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]

Had a slight coverin from early this morn. Just hail now with the showers clippin the east coast. Quite heavy tho

[Ireland Cold Spell Discussion]
