So a polar low it is then after all. Plenty of satellite and radar watching over the coming hrs and also keeping an eye on the temps,which hopefully if anything comes my way the temps will be cold enough. Another nowcast job.

[John Cox]

Heavy snow continuing, Thought it would pass quickly but still intensifying on the radar. Now sticking on the roads.

[jello]

Snowing heavily in Antrim for the past wee while.  Now starting to settle on the wet roads   Surprising as wasn't expecting much today

[mountain shadow]

Well, I think technically it isn't a polar low however who cares, it could bring decent snowfall to North Eastern counties, and that's the main thing.

[Juuyoku]

I think I'm too far west to join in the craic but it does look interesting!

Tomorrow is supposed to be a little less cold. Do you think this feature or whatever one wants to call it that has cropped up will make any differance to tomorrows predicted temps?

Good luck with your polar low or is it guys, hope all down the east does well with it

[mountain shadow]

Moderate snow in the Castlereagh Hills

[SnowJon]

sleety snow in Belfast City centre

[snowydog]

Snowing heavily in Belfast now

[mountain shadow]

Has been hammering down for half an hour. Radar to the North looks interesting!

[BFS/BHD]

Same here MS. Already another dusting.

[ronan]

Definitely looks interesting and intensifying But I'll prob miss out with it tracking SE.

[bobbarley]

Thunder and lightening here, "thunder snow" on its way!!!

[Abyss]

Is this strictly for ne Ulster? Haven't had a chance to check anything

[ronan]

Bob you could maybe do quite well fron this!

[mountain shadow]

Met office bloke on BBC saying significant snow fall during the first half of the night.

[bobbarley]

U would think so but I'm too close to the north coast probably rain/ sleet, snow inland. I'm getting seriously jealous, I've a feeling I'll even miss out on any snow this weekend!

Driving to alder groove later so will provide a snow report for most of Antrim later

[ronan]

Just checked radar again! That precip going to cover more areas now than I thought! Prob be sleet for me but some of you going to do really well out of this by the looks of it. Probably more inland areas!

[Weegaz]

Someone on model forum says low is tracking further south quicker rather than east so could be a good event for more areas of Ireland!!

Flash warning  ni weather

 

A YELLOW FLASH warning of Snow has been issued for parts of Northern Ireland.

A polar low has developed near Scoland and is expected to track over eastern areas of NI this evening, this was unexpected hence a flash warning has been issued. This is likely to bring an area of snow for Co Antrim and Co Down, which could be heavy. Accumulations of 2 - 5 cm are likely in a short space of time and accumulations of up to 10cm locally and over the hills.

[Juuyoku]

NIW have a warning up on Facebook now. The line has me teetering on the brink lol.

[Downburst]

Belmullet just had a 47 Knot Gust, Malin Head 45 Knot Gust. Potential for Gael force winds for a time tonight on the western flank of the low. So all sorts going on  Good luck to all in Antrim and Down, I'd say there'll be some drifts on the Mournes tonight, hope it makes it into Louth. So much going on I can't keep track it all.

[somofagun]

Raining here lads

[Watsy]

Temps rising here slightly and showers coming through at minute is more sleet/rain.
