well done to you guys you deserve it

[Rocheydub]

Some heavy snow showers here, but not sticking at all to anything.

Off to bed now!

[The Cashel Cockney]

Fell asleep in armchair and just awoke to look out on snow starting to drift in the drive!! Heavy snow here just outside Cashel, Co. Tipp.

[andymusic]

sounds like you're having fun - our fellow celts in Ireland - send the showers over to Wales once you've finished with em lol

[Watsy]

Couple of inches fell here overnight, not the same when you have to go to work though and can't get out in it. Was clearing the cars earlier and it's a beautiful morning, clear skies and crescent moon, would be nice out for a walk with the camera.

[Baltic Regions]

Andymusic, you're welcome to them and let's hope they pick up some moisture onthe way! good weekend covering here and will be out shortly to clear the cars. Enjoy..... those who can!

[mountain shadow]

Lovely covering this morning.

[stormforce 10]

heavy snowfalls here overnight, about 2 inches laying on the ground.

[skywatcher]

Good morning. It's white outside - a couple of cm but haven't measured it yet - and still snowing. Not as deep as at Glengormley but quite respectable nevertheless.

[The watcher]

2-3 inches in windward facing drift areas and 1 inch or so lying on the ground.

Just looked out to see my cat going crazy in it . lol

From the radar that likes like it for this area though showers are still coming through futher south.

[BIG LAD]

incredible scenes here. at least 3 inches and still hammering down.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

A decent covering this morning, had a lovely litte blizzard during the night!

The low pressure system begins to move South and bring with it a milder uppers period, that's why the Meto are saying showers turning to rain today then turning wintry again. Overnight tonight. Precipitation will be less widespread though as the uppers won't be as cold as last night. Last night was rare in that we seen the -10 line come in off the Atlantic. I seen the heaviest snow I've had since 1995.

[BIG LAD]

scene a while ago.

anyone know how to post a video?

[BornFromTheVoid]

Sitting now looking at moderate snow falling out my window. Not sticking, but still a nice sight!

anyone know how to post a video?

You could try upload it to the netweather gallery and then link to it in here.

There's always youtube too.

[Rocheydub]

I'm delighted for y'all, really am... But not even a dusting on hard surfaces here. I saw a patch of snow on the roof of a house, probably 3 inches square...

This winter has been a disaster for me. A few overnight flurries, nothing substantial... Everywhere bar here getting at least some lying snow! That's it, I'm emigrating to Canada!

[markok]

non event for Dublin yet again. we need an north easterly to do well. rest of you enjoy the snow

[be cause]

hurray ! .. even my valley bottom has an inch of the white stuff !! First lying snow of the winter...

[mountain shadow]

It will all be gone by early afternoon as mild northerlies, would you believe, push down.

Colder again tomorrow as the mild uppers pull away with snow showers along North facing coasts.

[sundog]

A slight dusting here,temp 0.7c,overnight low -0.1c.

[Sparky72]

Lovely, had a covering of overnight snow,but rain now melting it.

[The Cashel Cockney]

Good covering of snow here just outside Cashel and still coming down at a fair old rate! Roads are in a bad way.

[Rocheydub]

Funny thing is, you imagine as our winds become more northerly, and even develop into a longish fetch northerly, they would have been colder, but alas, slightly milder uppers, and only northern most counties will see wintery precipitation if the charts are to be believed for the next 2 days, mostly due to the higher pressure as the Azores high slips in closer to us.

Still remaining cold for the forseeable future, and if you believe the ECM, we may be in with a shout of a decent easterly at the weekend, which "may" at last bring a snow event to us here...
