Weegaz, don't worry I'm a midwife. You organise the snow and I will organise the homebirth.  What could be more awesome that a lovely wee homebirth In front of an open fire during a blizzard.  Mates rates apply of course lol!  All the best!

lol, woke up this morning to no electric so would have had to use the head touch to see what was going on.......maybe the darkness would have suited me actually.

Just had a glance in their regional thread lol. Boofer I think you should post your snow pics in there as I think you get a special mention from one of them without saying your name ha.

I see our quotes on the southeast thread have been removed! You got to laugh. Must have hurt his feelings. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Fingers crossed Sperrin

Wind dying down now, recorded a gust of 78mph last night, on my newly repaired anonemeter so not sure how accurate it is. Definitely a wild night. Was woken a few times the roaring wind.

Not the only post that was deleted. I posted the Amber snow warning for Scotland in the model thread. Our warning is just one level below amber btw. Yesterday a mod said the only lowland snow would be for N.Scotland nothing to get excited about I said NI and Southern Scotland could see low level snow too and was told it was sad for a newbie to disagree with a more experienced poster, elsewhere would only be good if your up a hill/mountain, no need to dust off your sleigh yet etc. Well the amber warning covers lowland Southern Scotland too 2-4 inches. It was deleted lol, I can't fathom that ha so sad

Met Eireann Snow warning issued-

Snow-ice Warning for Ireland

Icy patches expected to develop overnight/early Saturday in many parts of the country in spite of the wind. Sleet and snow showers expected to develop in the North and Northwest through the night giving several cms of snow on high ground and a covering at some lower levels. Towards morning a scattering of wintry showers will spread further South and East to other parts also.

U have to laugh don't you. Seems it only counts if it's snowing in the southeast.

I doubt the precipitation will make it this far, and if it does it should fall as sleet and more likely snow. Depends if the strong wind will carry it far enough for me. You guys are really in the firing line, upper air appears to be -6 or lower and the precip rate should be decent enough to get a good covering. Going to feel bitter tomorrow, that's for sure!!! Dew points are all good too. It will really start to cool down from darkness tonight. You guys will see the first snow before 10 or midnight I'd say.

[Abyss]

GFS total precipitation to 7am Sunday morning

Donegal looks like the place to be. For fun I'm not sure how you translate that to snow depth, searched online but different results so nothing conclusive

[ronan]

Not 100% sure but I think for 1mm = 2cms of snow. Could be wrong but.
