At the minute we have sunshine !!!!

[Gaz1985]

Should be a covering of snow tonight above 150-200m for most of the North West. Probably some wet snow below that. We shall see anyway.

[SparkleS]

So have we, but more clouds moving in now, wonder what will fall out of this next lot? Pink butterflies? Lol

It's always on a Friday for the north west. Wierd but surprisingly true over the past few winters.

[Miamay]

No weather warnings in place for the North West of England according to the Met Office now.

0c here cold in the gusty wind....odd looking skies.... Hopefully snowy tonight....we shall see...

[SparkleS]

Well ireland are getting snow as we speak

[I Cumbria Marra I]

you always see the western fringe out of the warning for ice, snow, anything wintry, sooooooo funny.

[WillinGlossop]

Well ireland are getting snow as we speak

Yep snow showers piling into west and central ireland.....

[Mokidugway]

Then watch them die crossing the irish sea !!....

[I Cumbria Marra I]

theres showers piling into every western facing coasts except..........NW England, LOOOOOOOL.

[Mokidugway]

Should fill in the irish sea , imagine long tracking thunderstorms in summer and decent cold and snow in winter, and while we're at it build a spine of mountains about a mile high running north to South in ireland to break up the pesky weather systems !!...

[Miamay]

My parents live in Donegal - northwest of ireland. No snow there yet but plenty of heavy rain and very windy !!

[toggerob]

Sea SSTs should be considerably warm given the recent spate in weather, plenty of convective energy potent to be released when the colder Canadian 'plunge' makes it's way over the Irish sea in the coming hours.

[Mokidugway]

Been poor for warm sea convection this winter shall wait to see if I get sleet or hail rattling at patio doors later !!....

YELLOW WARNING of ICE

A colder, westerly, air stream will follow Sunday's frontal band bringing heavy wintry showers and wet surfaces to many areas during Sunday evening and night.

Clear skies between showers are expected to allow temperatures to fall to or just below freezing at times resulting in a risk of icy stretches forming on untreated surfaces.

Some areas of the United Kingdom will also see a covering of snow. Snow amounts will generally be small, mostly accumulating on vegetation, however more persistent and heavy snow is expected over the higher ground of western and central Highland and the southern Grampians. See separate warning for snow.

The public should be aware of the potential for some disruption to travel.

 

Snow warning for us. We may see a dusting in places here but not much.
