Ireland Regional Weather Chat

Is nobody expecting a bit of snow now over the weekend now. I thought the met office warnings looked good for then? Confused. Doesn't look like much more snow tonight. Shame Northern Ireland weather got in wrong by looks of it.

 

Looks that way Was snowing around 6.45is in Castlereagh hills when I rang my mum (I'm at work) .. was hoping to go home with more snow on top of what we had

[sundog]

At around 7pm i had a heavy snow shower which gave a light dusting. The latest shower im having now is rain/sleet with the temp going up a degree in the last hr,current temp 2.0c. Ah well same old story.

 

 

The next dangling carrot is early next week,lets hope that comes off!!

Looks too dry overall really.

[Neiller]

Strange when met office giving frequent snow showers?

[Rocheydub]

Huge squall line passing through here now, probably a good thing this wasn't snow, I'd be snowed in!!! It's just bucketing down here in strong gusty winds. Temp rose from 1.8 about an hour ago to 3.9 now. There's the mild sector in this "polar low"

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

The charts in the model thread still looks promising going forward the breakdown of the cold spell looking like to extend on a bit further

Latest for NI from the met office sounds good on paper ha.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Turning much colder with snow showers, most frequent in the north, giving moderate falls in places, with drifting in the strong to gale force northerly winds.

[John Cox]

Heavy rain

[ronan]

Snow showing now on the back edge of the front so some might see a bit yet.

[mountain shadow]

Rain, sleet, snow, slushy mess out there

[BornFromTheVoid]

That wind is quite something. Mainly slightly sleety rain showers here now with it. Sounds pretty cool out though.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Sounded like rain showers during the night, would need to get out of my pit and see how much snow has washed away, anyway looking wintry again from later today

[mountain shadow]

Carol Kirkwood's graphics looked wintry throughout the weekend especially in the North and East.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Surprisingly still a decent covering of snow, how for some top ups....

[be cause]

and down among the drumlins spring is back .. no frost,almost no snow .. and warmth from the sun ..

[mountain shadow]

Hardly Spring Be cause, I'm in Belfast City Centre and the temp is only 2.5oC.

 

Looking on the Radar, there are some impressive showers massing to the West of the Northern Isles, will be interesting to see what happens if and when they reach here.
