Good to see some old faces back A tad windy tonight. Is it me or is there a lack of lrfs so far for winter from the Netweather folk?

[Abyss]

Funny born, I always find showers at this time of the year to be most intense. More lightning as well. 

Not expecting a winter wonderland this weekend by any means but hopefully a covering. It's that time of the year again when I wished I lived on a hill ha

There's no nice snow symbols on the forecast for me unfortunately but that's the problem with being on low ground. I finish work at 8 on Saturday morning so I might head to higher ground seeking snow depending on how tired I am.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Hmmm looking like it's more later Friday evening into Saturday for any snow potential in Pomeroy. If we do get it and it does settle then it will beat my prediction of the 30/11 for lying snow in my area. When we consider some of the extreme mild weather we have had this month this transient cold blast will defo be a shock to the system!!!

Carol Kirkwoods forecast for snow in NI is not good.

Didn't show any snow at all.

[Abyss]

Met office NI-Friday:

Turning wintry with frequent showers, increasingly turning to sleet, hail and later snow. Feeling very cold as northerly gales develop

Looks decent enough mountain

That is definitely in contrast to the animation Kirkwood had.

Lampost watching at its best though. .will it...Won't it.

[gary1365]

I'll be trying my best to lamppost watch but there isn't any around work so it won't be the easiest lol.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I note discussion on us entering a more PM sourced flow for the next while. Given the cooler Atlantic, is there more hope to be taken from this for some white stuff??

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Hopefully we could see some snow from tomorrow evening

[Weegaz]

Looking good for Pomeroy.  Hopefully some east of the lough to.

 

We have moved and have no lamposts nearby in the country 

 

Wind warning from MetO for NI now.  Saturday looking good on forecast for light snow for most of the day

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

That's an upgrade weegaz, we don't have any lamposts either, why do I pay rates again??

[January Snowstorm]

Quiet on here considering snow is likely in parts by this time tomorrow.

While it's little more than a 24 hour event the depth of cold is noticeable.

Lying snow for favoured spots looks certain by Sat morning

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Good to see you back January Snowstorm, hopefully a bit of the white stuff will get this wee forum buzzing again

[mountain shadow]

Only settling snow above 150m according to Angie. That rules out everyone apart from Pom I think.

[gary1365]

I was expecting it to be confined to the hill tops too early for widespread event.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Hmmm looking like a small window of opportunity for snow from this evening until tonight. I will still take it, I never really expect much in the way of snow until after Christmas anyway. Tomorrow is going to be raw, a day for gloves for you lowland folks

[Weegaz]

MetO forecast still showing light snow this evening and heavy snow from 8am to 11am tomorrow morning.

 

Net Weather forecast showing sleet this evening and tomorrow morning.

 

BBC Weather showing something in between both.

 

Who will come of best.....hopefully MetO

Lovely clear and fresh morning here,temp 3.8c after a low of 2.3c the lowest ive recorded so far this season (shows just how mild its been).

If i get to see any snow over the weekend i will be amazed. I will be happy enough to get an air frost.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

So would I Sundog no hard grass frost as such yet this Autumn

[Abyss]

In September it got below freezing twice at Castlederg. Almost certain

[Juuyoku]

Just had a light flurry of snow here.

[BornFromTheVoid]

5.4C here at the moment, after a high of 9.0C earlier, dew point of 2.1C. Cold definitely sweeping down now.

Well I have to admit I saw my first flakes of the season just a short time ago with the latest shower which was a mix of rain,sleet and some snow flakes. Feels'quite bitter out in the wind today. Max temp 7.1c' currently 3.3c.

[ronan]

First snow of the season falling in Derry!! Temp down to 2.5!
