Prob due to in being in the form of showers Pom. 

[Sperrin]

Showers over such a significant period of time will surely mean everyone will get some joy!

Anyway, batten down the hatches, incoming snow!

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Really thought it looked a bit more organised on the TV this morning but say you're right guys.  Still hope to see this forum busy with snow reports later,  good luck folks!!!

Showers are starting to appear on radar now any reports of whats falling. And 6ish on-wards seemed to be the more organised stuff

If you watch the radar on raintoday.co.uk you can see the showers intensifying as the move inland. I have always wondered what atmospheric conditions allow showers to maintain their ppn rates as the move deep inland whilst at other times showers running in from Atlantic disperse before they even reach the border!

 

[Sparky72]

It's raining in Derry! That's why I said it looks hit and miss especially as only showers.

[Neiller22]

Have to admit I'm with you on this one SParky. The way I'm looking at it is if I get lucky then great but I'm not expecting to much to be honest. But we will see 

[Weegaz]

Showers on radar look to be getting a bit more wintry as they move inland.

[gary1365]

Showing wintery on the radar didn't always mean much I was say under heavy snow on the radar last night only to have light rain. 

[Guest]

Drizzling a few hours ago, but  cloud is intensifying! I can see a white fog a distance away, looks like a small or decent covering for Derry! Fingers crossed! This time last year, we were covered in thick snow, hope it repeats itself but doubts are rising.

[bobbarley]

Maybe we should set up a support group for those who miss out on the snow. I'll be the founding member as it only gives rain on the north coast

[gary1365]

It was snowing moderately there its petering out and turning to rain again. 

[mountain shadow]

Showers really getting going now on the radar. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Light rain driving into Donaghmore atm, not worried as it was forecast to be more wintry in nature from 3pm onwards (according to my location)

[Guest]

Radar looking good, shows a welcomed line of the white stuff coming in.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Do you guys pay for this radar thingy or can you view it for free?? 

[Guest]

Weather moving in quick! Radar shows sleet turn into snow as it progresses inland, let's hope it stays that way for Derry!

[Rocheydub]

Clear blue skies here, 4.5 degrees out. Maybe I'll get lucky after dark, but I'm not hopeful. Envious of you guys up there, you have had lying snow about 5/6 times since we last had down here in 2010!

[BornFromTheVoid]

Snow being reported at Knock Airport at the 1pm update, while the latest Valentia tephigram has 850hPa values of about -5C.

Sadly, dissapointment, light drizzle in Derry ATM, radar still shows sleet and snow, it's yet too early to get down! Actions begins at 2-3

[ronan]

Heavy sleet in Derry. We need darkness and twmps to drop!

[SMU]
