Omagh?  Yeah it's no Pomeroy 

[Juuyoku]

I think there was a mild sector which should hopefully pee off fairly quickly! All quiet here at the minute 

 

Edit - it was my daughter that said nothing had happened even though it has clearly snowed a little. Looks like it's starting up again as well. The sky has that orange hue that I like to see!

Ahahahaha I just read over it and it sounded like an insult to Omagh, I meant it about the snow haha

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Snowing rightly in Omagh again

Adding photo

[Weegaz]

Is there any site that gives a wider range radar that anyone knows of?

[bobbarley]

Wind has really picked up, temps are rising and thaw is on, hope that's not my last snow this winter. Best I've had in a coupl of years

[More Runs Needed]

You're all so lucky, nothing in Mayo despite the orange warning

Windy, cold, 3c, rain

[mountain shadow]

Snow here as well finally! Not much but better than nought.

The wind appears to have shifted more NNW than NW, hopefully be better for the NE later.

What's the rise in temp all about mountain? Impression I got from the charts and forecasts was it was to get colder not milder as the winds swung more towards northerly. Something has been missed during this. Must be a warm sector or something which would be a nowcast event.

The best of that tasty blob is going to miss me I think and the parts of it heading my direction appear to be breaking up before they reach this far

can't see thunder

[rory o gorman]

There is a slight warm sector in the low Hence the more widespread precip and higher DP's

This looks as if it was the warm sector that was not forecasted, hence why we got brutally little snow.

 

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

This made me smile 

[rory o gorman]

Yep it was viable on the all the models from this morning, very disappointing yet again.   

[ronan]

Seen this posted earlier to on Facebook......

 

NASA have just released these amazing photos of Northern Ireland this afternoon. Nat sure what's going on in Fermanagh, maybe our First Minster knows?

 

[Guest]

Just like that everything is white again. Hail helps a lot, it makes a foundation for snow, maybe this won't be too bad after all? (Short sighted optimism)
