Wow Sperrin looking good and you've quite a bit of snow already.

[ronan]

On to our 6th page since yesterday! Epic stuff!! Lol. 

[Sperrin]

Really can't do justice to the blizzards via camera. You can see the snow being lifted off the ground already. At least an inch an a half snow lying in last 45 mins.

Bara Best may be feeling a bit sheepish this evening! Haha

Those snow showers are absolutely packing into N.I! I reckon some places in N.I will have 3-4 inches by morning. In fact i'd say 3-4 inches at the very least!

[BornFromTheVoid]

More sleet here, hopefully it will turn more to snow as it gets dark.

[Juuyoku]

Snowing away and lying

[ronan]

Showers seem to be dying off a bit on radar. Going by Meto forecast for my area then it will be after midnight before the heavy stuff sets in. Heavy stuff at the minute seems to be splitting north or south of me.

1st snow shower of the day (and winter) here in Dublin

[cue_killar]

Just woke up to a nice covering, everything is white and it's still snowing although its very wet snow but it is pretty to look at!

[ronan]

Its been a long time since i seen a blizzard but we have one now. Serious strong wind!

[mountain shadow]

Great covering already at home, traffic a nightmare. Forecast looks bloody great for tonight.

[somofagun]

Very localised so far. Left dungannon and the roads were white got to ballygawley and hardly a thing. Ground is very wet. Think its going to be a slushy mess like the last one.

[ronan]

And things are only really getting started MS!! My last post should have said blizzard conditions. Lol. Wouldn't really call it a blizzard. Can only imagine what higher level roots will be like.Also just checked the Meto automated forecast and its just updated giving heavy snow from 12 tonight till 11am. Nice!

I'm in north louth. Must have had 10 heavy snow showers today, with one in progress now but it hasn't stuck yet. Don't forget folks netweather radar with weather type turned on lets you see the snow showers, or sleet etc.

I might have to wait til near midnight for the ground temp to be cold enough to get the snow to lay, but we shall see. Have to drive to Dublin tomorrow so I am very interested.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Fantastic showers, ominous dark sky's on the way home then the blizzard hit... Pomeroy totally covered as always lol, fantastic stuff

[BornFromTheVoid]

Big downgrade tonight for the South, with 850s of higher than -5C creeping up over southern counties. Could well see a continuation of the sleet showers rather than a transition to snow...

Based on the ECM? don't see it on the 12z GFS.

[BIG LAD]

a few heavy showers here today but only lying temporary. more organized showers this evening of hail/snow has left slushy deposits. need temps to drop half a degree or so for it to lay proper.

[ronan]

Bit of a lull in things now. Northern England and Scotland seem to be getting more organised showers.

[BIG LAD]

snow/hail starting to lay here now. everything white. bit slushy though.

The 12z GFS. Looks like the milder 850s make their way in from the south coast during the night, with 850s higher than -5C well in across much of Munster by 6am tomorrow. Dublin should be grand though.

Well last shower settled on cars, bins and grass etc. so it's going the right way. Plenty still on the radar over the next hour for my neck of the woods. There is a gap in mid Ulster, but I can see more coming into Donegal so should keep coming for a while yet. Need to check the fax charts but the 18:00hr IR Sat below shows plenty more showers on the way

you up in Altmore Be cause?

[Sperrin]

Looking at the radar and the showers appear to be coming in more from a NW to SE direction compared to earlier when there was more of a W to E movement. Small respite at the minute but no doubt it will pick up again shortly!
