Looks like Lisburn starting to get in on the fun

This feature definitely looks further north to my totally untrained eye

Yea if not further north....coming in at a different angle or something

Morning folks. Big snow day ahead I hope. 

Got a little overnight but not sticking on roads.

Good luck!

[BIG LAD]

Will be an interesting few days that's for sure!! Seems alot windier this morning already.

Watched the BBC weather this morning, no chat of the warning for here but covered everywhere else? The graphics seemed to indicate more for the east than over here in the west?

They rarely mention Northern Ireland at all, other than a throw away sentence occasionally. 

Yes, there will be more snow in the East than West as we're closer to where the low pivots.

MetO have updated the warning curtailing the northern extent but still keeping NI within a yellow warning, I would have thought reading the text we would have been upgraded to amber due to the timings of snow fall with home time traffic

They don't bother about Norn Iron too much, probably down to lower population.

I guess we will see later on if they should have issued or not.

That band is taking an awful long time to move North.

This finest snow is starting with us at Nutts Corner

yes MS, taking an age to move

any reports from the south?

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

For my location, MetO has been showing heavy snow from 12 for the past couple of days 

[Sparky72]

Very slow. Not sure it’ll even make it this far. (In Derry)

Ooooo!

Just light sleet at the moment.

[Rocheydub]

Temp 3 degrees, dew point 2.5. Rain all morning with the occasional hint of sleet but that’s it. Not even the joy of watching flakes fall!!! Dublin snow shield in full effect here AGAIN!

Temp here is 2degrees, dew point 1.5. Light rain/small snowy mix, any snow from last night melting. The precipitation is too light to lower the freezing level. Not sure where the Met office are getting their amber warning from yet.

This big red mass looks to be heading your way, showing green for sleet at the minute but fingers crossed

[Bricriu]

A very poor showing here- a bit of snow on the grass and walls..

We are supposed to be under an orange warning for later. I can't see it being warranted for this area . It would seem the heaviest precipitation was further south in the end. Also I see that what was originally supposed to be an all snow event for the Northern third of the country has turned to sleet in many areas. No doubt it will transition back to snow once the  system moves away.

Temp up to 2.8c here with light sleet/snow falling. Maybe things will  change after dark

[mountain shadow]

Looking a complete rain/sleet fest at the moment.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Light snow falling outside of Omagh atm

[na52]

It's snowing (small flakes) but not lying @ the applegreen between glengormley and templpatrick 

[jello]

Snowing in Belfast BT13/BT12 and very windy.  Snow not lying yet.
