The melt of the morning has sealed the ground! It has been snowing consistenly for 20 minutes yet there is absolutely nothing white only on the cars. Oh dear oh dear.

[ronan]

Raining here now. Seems very marginal in places!!

I have hit the jackpot, in the best place possible for that latest band of snow. Heaviest I've seen in a long time. Good 5cm on grass now!! Here's a video from 25 mins ago.

It's certainly not what was forecast Ronan. Very disappointing. The wait goes on looking at the radar it's all fizzling out the further south and east it progresses. One of the ingredients is missing for snow.

[ronan]

Its about 5/6 mile from me

[Longtimelurker]

0.8C, -2 Dew, 528 dam line hundreds of miles south and yet its raining lol.

Total white out in Omagh, roads are a joke 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Anyone having problems uploading photos? 

[Longtimelurker]

Looking at the radar, the areas seeing snow now have sleet/rain following on behind it. High ground will be different of course

[Sparky72]

Yep my snow now turned to rain. But got a wee covering first

Unbelievably the BBC forecast was kind of correct. Rain taking long to turn into snow once hitting land!

It was supposed to be snow, changing it at the last minute doesn't make it correct in my book ha

Warmer but some areas may stay the same I think

[ronan]

Last chance for us coming in from the north. Lets hope that band turns to snow when it comes in.
