No sign of this in Pomeroy a bit of cold rain then sleet nothing now,  it's wrong I tell ye wrong!!!!!!! 

This might explain why a lot in mid-ulster not getting snow currently dew points to high.

[Sperrin]

Big chunk of ppn coming your way now, Pomeroy. 

[mountain shadow]

Dew points sub zero here, just need some moisture!

The showers are dying out East of Lough Ness

[BIG LAD]

had rain/sleet and some wet snow for a time in monaghan town today. rain/sleet just on way home after dark. temp 1c at my place this evening so would hope to see some snow if dew points arent too high. seen a pic of a very snow gortin glens road earlier.

Exactly MS. Hopefully the east will have some fun when we get a N or NE/E airflow that the model thread all seem to be predicting. NW are great for our neck of the woods. Been mostly NW joy last few years

In Omagh now turned more to Snow here 

[somofagun]

We have snow.....

[Guest]

Snowed heavily @ 17:00 but since has half melted but has made more laying easier. Snow is still coming and we have had some prolonged showers. 

[BIG LAD]

snowing proper here now and starting to lay on car.

[ronan]

Keeping an eye on whats coming from the West on the radar. Looking good!

[BIG LAD]

really chuckin it down here now! gettin very white outside and windy with it.

[Juuyoku]

Well it went back to rain here after a five minute snow shower. The radar looks interesting but unless the dew points drop it'll be more of the same for here 

[Rocheydub]

A sleety shower earlier today (10am) after the heavy rain and feeling much colder altogether. Love this weather. Give me the chilly cold stuff any day...  Doubt I'll see much snow action tonight though IMBY. Might be worth a drive up to Wicklow on Saturday or Sunday though!

Haha just noticed that there now, up at 105k views now. I wonder does that entitle me to a share of their ad revenue?

There are no clear breaks between the showers here in Tyrone which means there's a bit of a thaw setting in. I wonder will that change as the night goes on?

[ronan]

Just knew that radar was looking good so jumped in the car and went a drive. I am at about 90asl and some snow settled here but on out the road 5/10 mins its a different storey. Difficult driving but as very icey. Last pic is close to home. Its stopped now. Great start to the season.

 

[Weegaz]

Didly squat east of the lough here, next band on radar looking good.

you'll be a millionaire by morning sperrin

At its highest that hill is roughly 300m asl. I was only able to make it half way.

 

[Sperrin]

Where'd you get that image, Ronan?

[ronan]

Here ya go.....

Great resource, I took a rough guess on my height above sea level based on one map I found on Google images. Turns out I was only 2 metres off. Cheers for sharing.

What mountain did u head up? over in Donegal or out towards Donemana?
