Slight changes to the track and it could all change.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rain and sleet at first Thursday with snow higher ground. Drier, brighter later Thursday and Friday but still cold. Wet, windy Friday night into Saturday with rain preceded by snow.

Its looking like it's a possibility according to the latest Beeb forecast. Certainly worth a drive to the hills.

Ni weather on Facebook have amber warning for winds due to the occurrence of a weather bomb.....most interesting day of weather coming up in a long while.....and it's not even snow 

[Longtimelurker]

Quite a temperature contrast across the country tonight. Temperatures widely 10-12c. Finner in South Donegal currently 10c while Malin in the North is 4c at midnight.

Radar says snow my eyes say otherwise if the radar can't get it right live then what hope do the models have 3 days in advance.  

One thing they got right the wind is howling out there take care.

Bit of a sleety mix in the Castlereagh Hills. Miserable journey to work.

Storm damage quite widespread down here in the east coast.

Have a covering of hail here and its pelting down. Most exitment of 2017 so far. Lol

[Juuyoku]

Just a day of blustery winds and pasing showers here but I knew we weren't in the path really anyway. Nippy enough feeling tonight, have my electric blanket on.

Chance of some of the White stuff early next week

Met.ie 

MONDAY: A cold day with some further wintry showers of rain, hail, sleet and snow. Most of the wintry showers will occur across the western half of the country, with the risk of thunder too. Snowfall will mostly occur on higher elevations, but a light dusting of snow is possible on some lower levels here, especially to begin and end the day. 

TUESDAY: A cold windy day with an added wind chill effect. Once again scattered wintry showers will move down across the country. This time most of the wintry showers will occur across the north and east to begin, when there may be some falls of sleet and snow. 

WEDNESDAY: Wet and windy through the day, with rain turning to wet snow at times, especially to begin.

Met.office

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Becoming colder and quite changeable into next week with bright spells and some wintry showers, with a risk of more prolonged rain and hill snow during Tuesday and later Wednesday.

Heavy sleet in Derry at the minute.

Surprisingly ground is now white after a heavy snow shower, ended off with light rain though! Evaporative cooling I suppose
