Metoffice forecast:

Tonight:

Wintry showers becoming heavier and more prolonged in evening and spreading south, with some lying snow at low levels. Drier later in night with a few clear spells and frosty. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Thursday:

Rather cold and frosty, but mainly dry and bright with some sunshine. Wintry showers near coasts and perhaps more prolonged wintry weather in evening. Fresher northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 3 °C.

 

 

 

Maybe in for a surprise for some.  Hopefully

Wintry showers is what stands out to me. That is sleet. 

As ever, some localised area will get lucky but it's all hit and miss. 

[BIG LAD]

Cracker of a day today. Solid blue skies. Max temp of 1.6c and currently 1.2c so should be a very sharp frost tonight. Any snow would be a bonus.

Wee snow shower in Derry now 

[gary1365]

Currently raining in Limavady.

[Northwest NI]

More organised band of showers heading into the Northwest as we speak. Maybe add to the nice seasonal covering from overnight....

Got a nice covering here, a couple of centimetres. Sun is shining now and currently 1 degrees.

Nice pic. What's the mountain in the background?

It's Benbradagh mountain 

[BIG LAD]

[BIG LAD]

Temps have just hit 0c and it's not even 4pm. Love this weather.

[ronan]

Showers starting to pack in from the North now but it's just now cold enough for snow yet. Need the sun to dissappear. Maybe have a chance then 

[booferking]

Some great pictures in here today cracker of day ground frost all day in he shade, window of opportunity tonight early tomorrow for snow if you manage to get in the shower activity then window closes again later Thursday as warm core moves from the north again yea that's right from the north another warm core showers will be mostly of rain then away from higher hills.

Good luck everyone keep the pictures coming.

[Sperrin]

What a day that is, took my wee lads for a walk round the Lough in Loughmacrory. Was absolutely packed with families doing the 12 days of Christmas trail.

The lougj still frozen around the edges.

Love seeing these big showers coming in from the North. This one just passing East of Derry now. 

[BIG LAD]

There is not a country in the world to match Ireland's beauty! These lockdowns have made us get out and see what's on our doorstep.

That anvil is just loaded with snow to be dropped on some lucky bugger!

Yeah it's heading Ballykelly/Limavady direction. Just need temps to drop and hopefully another wee dusting tonight. 

[gary1365]

I never looked at the mountain in the picture. I’ve looked at both Benbradagh and Sawel enough to know the difference

As a Scot, I would say you're joking! 

Lovely early frost here already,  hopefully catch a wee shower later on.

[Bricriu]

These warm cores really are a nuisance, and they often show up within 24 hours. Hopefully some of us further south can catch a snow shower at some stage during the night

[BIG LAD]

-0.6c and not dark yet.

[gary1365]

2 degrees and rising here
