Not snowing here yet but that wind is really strong. On the drive home there was wheelie bins all over the place!

[Neiller]

We had back edge snow on the front which has just moved through. Let the fun now begin. Good luck to everybody today and I hope everybody gets a touch which I think they will. Some will get more than others obviously but if we all goet a decent covering the very brief mild air Thursday eve to late fri should thaw it to much. Could stick around as from sat eve up to at least mid week look very cold with more snow chances.

Shouldn't thaw it too much that is!

I see Cecila mentioned that they may have to upgrade the yellow warning on the 7.55 news as well Mountain, I assume this maybe as Belfast will be getting in the action and impact on population density and all that

[mountain shadow]

Snow in Belfast.

[BIG LAD]

im honestly not expecting any lying snow at low levels here until after dark this evening. id say temps today will deffo be at least 1c so will give falling but not lying snow. tonight should be excellent though.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Careful tomorrow guys meto giving the snow to turn to "train" for lower levels, I have heard of everything but the kitchen sink but that's ridiculous, maybe that's why the bbc spoke of upgrading to amber warning....

[Juuyoku]

Train, haha!

Not much happening here at all but the ground is drying up nicely. Now we wait

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Right I'd better make tracks...... Ah come on that's comedy gold that is

[Neiller]

Heavy snow at mo. Not lying yet though

[Sperrin]

Looking at the Omagh weather station and temps have dropped from 2℃ to 1℃ in last hour with dew points at -0.9℃. Radar showing some tasty showers arriving imminently.

[Juuyoku]

Hail shower here now, turning the place white.

[Weegaz]

Showers arriving quickly and moving fast across the country.  Looks like more organised rain patterns for later this afternoon and with the precipitation moving as quickly as it is there shouldn't be any issue with easten parts getting in on the action.

 

Quick scan of the model thread looks promising until mid next week with Saturday and Sunday looking even colder than next couple of days.

[Sparky72]

Argh! Sleety rain in Derry.

[Juuyoku]

Snowing here now! A light shower.

[stormforce 10]

woke up to a covering of snow here. big anvil clouds to my west.

[SnowJon]

Yes - now snowing in Belfast!

[stormforce 10]

the showers should get right across the country, the clouds are racing across the sky. due to the strong westerly winds.

[The Cashel Cockney]

Snowing in the Kill Hills 6km outside Cashel, Co. Tipp. Had our first shower about an hour ago, more inbound on the radar.

[snowydog]

Yes - now snowing in Belfast!

 

What part of Belfast are you in? We got a really light sleety/snow shower last maybe 10mins in North Belfast (Yorkgate area)

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Couple of snow showers rattling through Dungannon as well. Cecila talking about the potential for snow affecting powerlines etc, hopefully not!!

Just travelling through the east of the city on the way in to work - the shower started as sleet then turned to snow for about 5 minutes, then back to sleet again - great to see - bodes well for later on!

Thanks for sharing this the map is a large collection of all known weather stations. Ireland has about 175 weather stations on the map some are official Met stations and others personal stations. Almost everywhere on Ireland has a weather station on the map and most of them update live or at least hourly. I hope you all find this a useful tool for checking out your local weather or quickly finding access to a station somewhere else.
