Just getting home, hairy drive up  Cookstown road out of Omagh!

Best not to ask how you took that one, eh!?

Been in Clonmel most of the day, few rain and sleet showers there, so sign of snow yet today. Back in Cashel it's 0.5C and beginning to freeze over.

Heavy snow shower in bangor which started off as sleet

[Guest]

Only two snow showers for Derry, not even a dusting, what a misery!

[BornFromTheVoid]

Heavy snow shower just passed here, a light covering on the roads now.

Well u were right then MS. U got your snow. U get shovel out yet. Does they merit a warning ! Ha ha. What's your take for the east rest of eve? I'm just not convinced one little bit. I think this is classic met office covering their ass again!! What has got me worried is that Northern Ireland weather on Facebook have no warning out and they throw them out willy nilly at any opportunity !! Unless they have issued one in last hr! Very poor effort so far. 

[BornFromTheVoid]

Snowing lightly again, but sticking almost everywhere

[Guest]

Snow everywhere but Derry, 

[ronan]

Showers looking to be beefing up a bit to the north west.

I think we will see some more Snow in the East but the showers are lacking any real intensity just now. 

I'm still hopeful of a covering by morning. 

[Abyss]

Nice covering here since 4 or so. The night is still young

You're not alone - none in Dungannon either

[ronan]

It's on its was. Patience. Radar looking real good. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Indeed Ronan some patience is required

[Juuyoku]

Just had another nice snow shower here and its lying again. 

[Guest]

I wonder, how long would a 1-3cm of snow last at 3C and no sun? A few hours?

[ronan]

Liking the look of this now! The next few hours should be interesting.

Deftinitely! Gonna keep watching that lamp-post, haha!

Just a fine coating here. Freezing fast.

[Sperrin]

Haha Born, I made a risky drive significantly riskier to satisfy my childish need to photo snow!

Would you believe it, all ready for an evenings lamppost watching and the two nearest ones black out! Anyway here is the latest out the front of my house. 

[sabriel]

Lovely - keep the pics coming folks! 

[ronan]

Everywhere white here now. It's hail at the minute but it's a start. 

[johnny1972]

Good evening folks. Haven't posted for a while but been watching models for some time. This as I would call it cool spell will be pretty much be a damp squib for most. Sleet / rain on coasts and snow inland and on higher ground. The models have been all over the place. Never seen it as bad. Some dream charts have evaporated away that would have possibly brought a DEC 2010 spell to all even on coasts. This I don't think will last beyond next Monday at most. I really do hope for a good February to rescue a poor winter. 

Hope some get the snow they crave. 

[booferking]

Snowing here to lightly but turning whiter everywhere if we can get heavier stuff and more organised could see a nice covering come on showers pep up.
