Sleet now, and 0.1C. Hopefully it will turn more snowy by the time the heavier stuff arrives in 15 mins.

[BIG LAD]

temps have deffo risen here since this evening. not sure why, clear night but maybe a bit more wind about.

..and emptying a rather wet wellie

Ha ha... I had to read that twice! 

 

Light sleet showers here @ 0.4°

[BornFromTheVoid]

Snowing now, lovely big flakes. Starting to stick on the cars. Should get a covering if it keeps going for a while.

Lol! I thought the same earlier but refrained from replying. Ha

No two ways about it, but the models have back tracked on the longevity of the cold spell and the snowy slider has gone

Enjoy the heavy snow showers tonight and tomorrow morning it may be the last for a while.

Maybe MS but can things not just flip again like we have seen happen before. More runs needed I feel and as you all know I'm always positive.

Thoroughly doubt they will flip back again, as much as I want them to. Sadly!

It would be one of the greatest model flips of eternity if it did occur. Even the professionals were very surprised by this late spread of options.

I suppose the answer based on the 0z is maybe but not quite a West enough shift for Ireland.

Nice sugar coating here but not expecting anything else for a good while.

We will see, it's a rather messy outlook from Tuesday/Wednesday onwards I would leave it until tomorrow before making a call. In the meantime I can see a lot of white stuff out there. January has been an interesting month for all types of weather.

Interesting post on the model thread from Fergie mentioned parts of NI as having potential problems with disruptive snow on Tuesday. Obviously he doesn't say what part that would be a bit too much imby

[BIG LAD]

snowed again here last nite. left about an inch. prob the most weve had here all week.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Bin and wall snow measurements lol, the bins where cleared of snow yesterday!!

-11 predicted over the snow fields for NI according to bbc news

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I had the car cleared of snow up till 2am this morning when I got back from the door job, only 6 in the bar, handy night but bloody cold. This is the car this morning

[Sperrin]

Went to bed last night and actually loooked like a thaw had fully set in. However, woke this morning to the biggest pasting yet. Easily 6 inches lying here. Slabs of snow falling of nearby roofs. Great sight.

[Juuyoku]

Snowing away here at the minute. Had a few more centimetres fall during the night.

More early morning pics

[Sperrin]

Some camera phone pics of snow depth...

[sundog]

Up north doing well again i see from the snow.  (send some my way will you )

 

Cold,dry and bright morning here with sharp frost.

Overnight low -0.6c,current temp 0.6c.

[BornFromTheVoid]

A light dusting here, but the nearby Galtees and Knockmealdowns have a decent covering. If it wasn't for a birthday dinner this evening I'd head of for a hike today... but maybe tomorrow instead, if the drink tonight is kind to me,

[bobbarley]

Winter wonderland here!? Definitely the best prolonged winter weather since 2010

[mountain shadow]

Nice wee snow shower the now. Great stuff again in the north west

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I don't need to tell anyone who lives in mountain areas to go easy on the roads they are a joke!! For anyone visiting a hilly area with snow take advice on how to drive in snowy/ice conditions it can be useful information

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Right folk's heading to Buncrana, enjoy your weekend and your snow if you have it

[Sperrin]

Interestingly the MetO have issued a warning for snow on Monday night. Looks like the slider is back in business!

"Updated 1 hour ago

A band of rain, sleet and snow will arrive into western parts of Northern Ireland during Monday evening, then spread east across all parts overnight. At low levels there is likely to be a mixture of rain and snow, but accumulations of snow of around 2 cm are possible locally. Over higher ground, above 150 metres, there is a risk of up to 5 cm. As clearer weather follows from the west later in the night, temperatures will fall, leading to a risk of icy stretches.

The public should be aware of the risk of difficult driving conditions and travel disruption"

With the hard frosts forecast we could have a nice wee top up of our current lying snow.
