A couple of snow showers up in Omagh here this morning,  sticking to the car, well it was till the wean made wet snowballs from it!!

Brilliant Sperrin!! Good stuff! Just seen this pic of the Glenshane on Facebook there.

We had snow this morning around 9am but it was too wet to lie apart from on the grass and cars. The snow line is pretty low though looking at Benbradagh - maybe about 150m, less. It's just the very bottom that has no lying snow.

Going by radar the precipitation has stalled over sperrin and pom's house's for the past while?

It's moved through now, the first band was deadly (the YouTube link) with really heavy, fat flakes. The second band wasn't as intense.

My kids school is off today for parent teacher meetings and I booked off for annual leave. The kids are loving it, not as much as me though haha!

Nothing getting this far East yet, hopefully as the wind picks up tonight and tomorrow, we can all see a bit of the good stuff.

[ronan]

Hopefully MS. This is my view today. Feels like a lifetime since i have seen snow on the Donegal hills!

[mountain shadow]

Been keeping my eye on that large area of precipitation to the North of Donegal.  Moving very slowly SE.  Hopefully it will still be active as it hits land.

Been watching that myself taking an age somewhere might get lucky.

I'm sat here thinking what a bloody waste!

[ronan]

Keeping an eye myself. Just gonna fizzle out i think. Last shower here was pretty decent only short lived. Hopefully more to come and temps are certainly dropping. 

[mountain shadow]

Cold enough for snow here already for sure. Temps already just about 0.

Raging - hockey cup match is cancelled cos pitch is frozen over ?. I love snow and all but wait till 10 tonight before freezing over ?

[ronan]

Nice shower here now. Mixture of hail and snow and lying. 

[booferking]

Went to see lights be turned on in the town and right  before and after snow started falling made feel really like xmas and how it should be every year.

Snowing quite heavily here. Solid foundation, if only it would keep on.

[Hegzyy]

dont understand, looking at the radar, does strabane have too many RHI boilers fired up or what? everywhere else showing up as snow, constant green sleet here  

[Weegaz]

Radar looking good again....bound to make it further east now to give me a mountain a bitta the white stuff 

Cars frozen solid already.....showers look to be coming in steady throughout the night

[Rocheydub]

Cars frozen here too, but the Dublin snow shield is in full effect again! No lying snow here since 2010 and not expecting any from the next few days. Need synoptics to be tweaked a little bit for us to get any looking at the medium range NWP. I'll never give up hope!!!!

[Sperrin]

Lovely covering of snow here and snowing lightly as I type. Nice heavy band of showers moving through SW ulster at present. More tasty looking bands coming in behind too. 

[BIG LAD]

just looked out and have a covering. was -1.5c comin home from work earlier and snow that has fallen had froze over. could be an interesting night.
