Yeah, not looking good. Dry air mass moving towards us from the north - cant see anything major happening for now :D But still loads of potential over the next few days.

Yea, Sat night into Sunday could be memorable or one damp squib! I think for once we might get lucky! Must go good luck guys on your snow tonight!

Hi everyone, it's been snowing here since about 11pm, nice big fluffy flakes although not that heavy. About 1 inch here so far.

Well it is still snowing here and I can assume it has been all night.

However, there is absolutley no snow on the ground, cars or gardens. Major disappointment.

We wait again for a decent event of lying snow. :D

I feel your disappointment. It has been the same here.

I'm just going to trust my own senses for snow for now.

Chin up! It's not over yet and we have had a much more actively cold winter this year! A little bit more strength in the sun will help strengthen shower activity and if cold enough, snow!

Light snow here now after the smallest of coverings overnight - better than nothing i suppose.

Anyone have any updates on Sat/Sun snow?

I am a complete novice at this so can any of you guys tell me how accurate the gfs preciptation type chart is because when I look at the 6z it shows snow along the east coast all day and as I said earlier it has been snowing here for over 2 hours and is showing no signs of stopping

Here on the coast its mostly just cold rain. It would be a little generous to call it sleet. :o

The temp is lower now than it was on Tuesday when we had some decent snow showers which is particularly annoying.

Just spent threee hours in the car for a return journey of 40 mins.

Balycalre was as clean as a whistle this morning and half a mile away was white. :)

Belfast was an absolute nightmare and i turned to come home. Driving a rear wheel drive car in snow is not fun at all.

Fairly heavy snow in Ballyclare now and it is starting to get a grip on the ground. Grass is already white.

Radar shows showers continuing on my direction. Lets hope so.

Belfast got it good. Loads of schools closed.

Got some good photo's on my phone so will upload later when I get the chance.

Just rain here in Bangor this morning while Belfast is getting pasted with snow - aaarrrggghhh ! :)

Jon, its snowing up here in Kilcooley, although none lying the ground is absolutely drenched. I suspect it has had a covering and melted after, but still in the heavier bursts it manages to lye for a few minutes before melting. Im in Kilcooley so I've a little bit of height about me, 59m asl.

Temperature dropping though, has dropped 0.5c in last 30 minutes. Last night it dropped to 0.4c by 10pm then started to rise again as the rain band approached, I think thats what caused no lying snow this time around close but no cigar.

I couldn't resist - getting a bit annoyed not seeing any snow here!! There must be at least 6 inches of snow up there - to be honest, I don't think the road would be safe for motorbikes anyway :lazy:
