Sorry to hear about your father Pomeroysnow, hope you and your family are get through this time ok.

Shamelessly robbed from boards.ie, but that is one beautiful storm! A final salute to your Dad Pomeroy?

That brought a smile to my face - thanks Born

[ronan]

Well that's a surprise! Its snowing in Derry! Wet snow and very nice to see!!

[Sparky72]

Was just about to comment Ronan. Typical. The cold weather goes, the thaw sets in. Warmer weather arrives and guess what at last we get a snow shower!!!

[ronan]

Yeah it's unbelievable!! Lol! Where are you Sparky? Can't see your location as I'm on my phone.

[Sparky72]

Strabane, keep meaning to put it on my profile.

[ronan]

Ah just down the road then! It's a miserable day out there!

[Beaufort12]

I'm in Stranorlar lads,how bad do you reckon it will be tomorrow

We had sleet about 30 mins ago,no snow tho

[ronan]

I haven't seen any forecasts or anything so wasn't aware that it was gonna be bad. Must go and catch up on things now. Completely lost interest when we missed out on the snow last week!

[BIG LAD]

sorry to hear about your loss pom. keep the head up mate.

[ronan]

Snowing again in Derry and the wind is really picking up!!

[gingercat]

Last night our temperature soared to 9c!! Now dropped down to a chillier 4c, but bright and so lovely to see all the green grass again!

[ronan]

Well I would say that higher locations will be getting good snow out of these showers as we have moderate snow/sleet here at the minute but no chance of lying!

Nice to hear of snow in Derry and thereabouts. Here, it's grey, gusty and showery. The real fun comes tomorrow......

[Earth Wind and Snow]

It feels colder out there today than it did in our recent 'cold' spell

Gale force westerly wind and heavy hail shower at present in temp of + 4.0 degrees

Nice to hear it is snowing in locations further north - high ground in some spots could get a covering before the next batch of rain spreads in later tonight / tomorrow

[Tom Quintavalle]

At work (Bookmakers), watching Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown, looks like everything but the kitchen sink in that wintry shower coming down, right now!

Cheers,

Tom.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

some decent snow showers this morning, nice big wet flakes too

[ronan]

Nice beefy shower on its way now! The sky is black! Would love a good thunderstorm.

[BIG LAD]

was up in sliabh beaghs earlier and still some small snowdrifts left from last weeks snow. could hazily see the sperrins and looked to be some large areas of snow left.

[ronan]

Reports coming from the Donegal area of thunderstorms and hail! Anybody in the area. Some beefy showers on the radar!

[somofagun]

Just had a heavy snow shower everything is white.

[snowmore]

Some sleet showers here earlier with wet snow in the hills!

[The watcher]

Some colder uppers still in the mix so I think that's why we are seeing some wintery showers about. Pretty good for a WSW flow. Bodes well for any stronger Northerly flows we can get our hands on in the near future. (February)

[BIG LAD]

yeah heavy sleet/wet snow shower here earlier. should have left a covering on the hills.
