Just had the line move through, left a 1cm covering. Looks like the LP is now moving down towards the Irish Sea, pushing the showers towards us rather than SE into Scotland.

Nice to hear the snow has spread so far west. Would it be safe to assume that South West England and the Midlands are the only ones not fairing well?

The latest radar (type in your postcard in the search field - will zoom in closer) http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ shows an extensive band of precipitation spreading down from the north. At your height 110m (app 330ft asl) there should be no problem with it falling as snow. If you miss this band - considering how broad it is, i would say you have been extremely unlucky !! Considering recent winters we have done ok this early in the winter season and pre christmas to get the cold and snow which is now forecast to last to christmas and possibly beyond. Many more snow chances to come !!

Not entirely true, got a cm or 2 here in South Tipperary.

Just back from Cork for Christmas so a pleasant surprise, hopefuly a few more showers will make it this far during the night!

This thread is very quiet tonight considering the radar activity with moderate precipitation through Co Antrim moving south at the moment. Can anyone confirm if this is falling as rain or snow??

I am on the edge of my seat here waiting for it to arrive! Its 1.3C with a dew point of -1.8C - theoretically, it should be snow, and a lot of it looking at the radar. Sky turning very orange to the NW.................

We didnt get a drop last night either by the looks of it. Got a top up round 10pm & that was it....all frozen solid this morning though so the roads should be fun.

Loads of showers off the north coast on the radar but will they be snow & which way will they go?

Very little or any in the way of snow overnight here as well but still plenty lying from previous showers. Went for a walk in the snow last night around 11:15pm and it was bitterly cold in the wind. I've a little thermometer which hangs off our washing line and it's currently readin -3 although I've no idea if it's accurate or not.

we have about an inch and a half of snow lying here now after further showers early last nite. low cloud and fog keeping temps above freezing though but maybe this will prevent much of a thaw today. not expecting any more snow today so hopefully the sun will stay away and the snow will still be there when i get home from work.
