Seems to be quite a lot of little disturbances heading our way from the N/NW on Monday. If there's no mild sectors we could turn white pretty quick!

That’s what I was expecting/hoping would happen.  Could get very interesting next week!

I see zero evidence of prolonged snow for the North in the model output.

Edit: in fact i see very little evidence of any snow at all bar a few scattered showers along the North coast.

Any potential in this front to push on down?

Ireland is in the warm sector of that front, the 528dm line(dotted line) is sitting to the North.

The 528dm line is generally the snow line,  so probably rain or sleep and snow confined to high ground.

The latest beb forecast saying only the far north of NI and Scotland have a "chance" of   seeing snaw through Wed/Thurs. Chance being the operative word here!

We have a Met Office warning for snow and ice !

Brisk northerly winds will drive showers well inland across Northern Ireland on Monday, with these initially falling as snow over higher ground and sleet and rain elsewhere. However, as increasingly cold air spreads south, showers will fall as snow to all levels by late morning. Up to 5 cm of snow is likely over higher routes such as the Coleraine Mountain road and Glenshane Pass. At lower levels, a few cms can be expected, with northern counties expected to see the more frequent showers. Ice will be an additional hazard for all areas into the evening.

Seriously you couldn’t make this all up. I reckon they’re now at the ‘cover all the bases’ stage of snow prediction

Mainly ice I suspect away from the  North Coast.

I fear I will be radar watching seeing snow showers dissipate long before they reach here.

[Northwest NI]

Reading the wording I’d expect us in Northwest to do quite well from this. Anyway as always with snow, wait and see

Runs getting crapper by the hour.

Snow showers for Northern coastal areas, a trough on Tuesday which will be rain for most as we're in the mild sector, then the Atlantic moving swiftly in next weekend.

Two months of snow chasing in the bin.

It's far more serious than that(joking). That warm sector is really irritating,  when we are supposed to be in the colder  air and precipitation is about we'll get rain,  then when the colder  air does get back in it looks fairly dry overall. Perhaps some features will pop up, it would be a real  kick in the teeth  if we limp back to milder weather  at the weekend

Do streamers come into play in these sort of conditions? It does look like temperatures are coming down

I think unlikely,  the flow doesn't look great.

You however will see big streamers looking out into the Irish Sea.

As alluded to in previous posts, snow looking more likely in counties Donegal,  Antrim and Derry, North of Loch Neagh.

Who knows things might upgrade before Tuesday (wishful thinking I know)

Hate to keep harping on about the TV forecasts, but both UTV and BBC NI are still bullish about all NI snow for Monday, and even more so for Tuesday.

And yet the models show rain for that trough on Tuesday. 

Further North the better with altitude.
