All very knife edge MS...Nice wee update this morning from the met office re Christmas day for us in the North

Always knew the GFS 06z was my favourite run

Well lads...back again Tempted to put this up on model thread with an appropriate gif

Images of Christmas day in London coming through...

@booferking brilliant way to end the winter if that's it, so cool to experience a proper hours long blizzard! Is your first photo from the golf club?

Very unusual to get such drifting snow over here, we're usually covered in wet NW snow. Really is beautiful out there. Took my youngest 2 out for a play, they last 10 mins before the freeze got to them

Holy crap, there is far more snow out the front!!

Photo doesn't do it justice here but id day this is close to a foot out the front of my house. Going to go out and do a proper measurement after my boiled eggs and toast!

Went outside there and its like a scene from siberia. This might sound silly but its very different snow to our usual north westerlies. Anyway latest observations show over 6 inches in sheltered spots, more in deepest drifts.

Class Pomeroy! It's very rare we get such dry snow, I just took this photo of my next door neighbours back yard where snow has blown clean off sheltered spot and has accumulated in 6 inch drifts around her big plant pots.

Pure weather porn here!! 20210213_083515.mp4

This is hilarious and some ways comforting as I always thought I was a bit too wrapped up in the weather but lads like that make me feel a bit more normal

I'm right in that orange zone! BTW, who runs that page? Is it just an amateur operation for a hobby?

Have to get the dodgy ruler that starts at 4 inches

Achill Island

Very heavy precipitation moving up through Mayo now, appears to be moving N and E so Donegal and NW may get some action from this? Intensity appears be be reducing further east though.

On an unrelated note, are any of you guys into droning (not on and on about the weather)? I took the plunge and got this coming this afternoon. Looks like an amazing piece of kit for its size. Hopefully get some good snow pics and vids on Saturday!

Met office just updated their warning for Saturday, looking very good for us in Uslter now...

On your doorstep @Summer Snow

BBC Weather WWW.BBC.CO.UK Latest weather conditions and forecasts for the UK and the world. Includes up to 14-days of hourly forecast information, warnings, maps, and the latest editorial analysis and videos from the BBC... BBC weather has today's front just about making ulster but looks to be very weak at that point. Good news is she mentioned those magical words of significant snowfall on Saturday. Looks like this period will go out with a bang before much milder weather pushes in on Sunday.

Interestingly the euro4 has todays precipitation easily reaching the far north of the island this evening. Basically hitting ulster around 5pm and still in situ in the early morning hours. No idea of intensity as I imagine it will fizzle out. Its already well over Munster, any pics from down the country?

Very interesting segment from Alex Deakin on Facebook, explains some charts that always stump me really well. https://www.facebook.com/287501884208/posts/10158362077549209/

@SnowJon warning was just issued at 11.12am so perhaps the forecast text will change later in the day?
