Unfortunately, being that far west that was meant to be the case. 

[Weegaz]

Looking better for the east as it slowly slowly moves this direction. Any reports from west of the Lough in the snow zone?

Heavy? Moderate? Light?

It's trying it's best to snow here. Getting heavier to. 

[Sperrin]

Snowing well here in Loughmacrory!

Its light. On and off moderate bursts. No real sign of wintry-ness at the moment though altitude is a saving grace probably.

[ronan]

2 mins out the road and a little bit of height and it's snowing. 

[parrotingfantasist]

I am happy to inform sea levellers that it is sleety over here now in the far flung west. Its trying hard!

[Weegaz]

I think this looks good for east

even Dublin

If this rain freezes over will be hell on the roads tomorrow morn for rush hour.

[ronan]

Won't be long till it has cleared through here now. We got about an hour out of it but it is all falling as light snow now.

It will freeze over once it clears, that was included in the MetO warning.

To be fair I don’t think it looks like giving much here in the east either. All looks very very light and breaking up a Wee bit.

Atleast it'll be snow on cold and presumably dry ground.

Neiller it's starting to lye on the grass here  now so if you have a bit of height and dry ground then you should do ok. It is light but.

Plenty cold enough for snow Neiller.  Dew point below zero now.

How long did rain with you first Ronan. Met eireann just updated and it’s gone from a snow band in east to now just flurries. But we will see soon

You still confident of a covering MS. 

 

Yeah just checked due point. That’s good

Took about 45 mins. Colder air obviously digging in now behind front. It was sleet from the word go but

I was hoping for more than just a covering but it's really struggling to get East a decent frontal system. 

[booferking]

Snowing away here first day but just not heavy enough to lay cant see anywhere in the north getting anymore than a few centimeters from this.

Couple of cms then. Least if it arrives here it may stall a tad! 

[BIG LAD]
