I love snow, but love it even more on days I'm not working!  I have to drive for my job and home visits need to be made.... but I'm rubbish at driving in snow/ice .  Half of me wants a big heap of snow but other half is wetting myself LOL.

You would have yellow snow then if you done that. Lol

[jello]

Now I may be wrong, but in this recent run the low has moved alittle south, needs a bit more tho.

Recent run on left.

Def has moved south. Hopefully it keeps doing this and still plenty of off time for it to correct further south.

Much further South.

Need another 100 miles South to keep Ulster in the cold air.

[ronan]

So by the 18's tonight it could be game on again!!

I think we have a good chance of this happening now. Certainly much better chance than last night! Keep praying guys. 

[Sparky72]

if it moves further south do we get to keep the snow we might get on tue?

[Neiller22]

Yes Tuesday snow def still on but if we get this low it would be a dream ! Could be a true blizzard!

Have to say i was starting to feel all excited on Friday evening with all the chat in here but then by sat evening its was bugger this. I do feel we do rely on computer models to much as when i said to the ole man yesterday that it was giving snow, his reply was that it didn't look/feel like snow, and in a way he is right. Usually it would dry up before a good snow fall but this doesn't seem to happen now. We are just getting this wet mush that will last a day and thats it....gone. Hope to see a good fall of snow tomorrow but it will be short lived i doubt i will even get a snowman built with the kids

Unfortunately that’s our climate now. But tomorrow should be good even if only briefly but don’t discount weds night just yet! 

[BIG LAD]

plenty of green spots showing up already on the radar . temp was 4c at 9am so not a bad start point. should fall away through the day and by dark we could be in business. should be busy on here for a few days guys! good luck with it.

[Guest]

Looks amazing for tomorrow people  It may be wet on the ground but its going to get colder quite nicely today good temperature of 4C this morning

 

[Sperrin]

Wouldn't worry about the wet ground, dew points are going to be very favourable so snow will settle readily, especially in the heavy showers. The BBC forecast this morning looks epic tomorrow, have rarely seen such intense and widespread showers predicted. All of Ireland should see something decent.

Fingers crossed that low swings in a bit further south, however, I feel it's getting too late for this to give us snow.

[jello]

METO warning updated

There may also be more than 15 cm over the hills of Northern Ireland, especially in the north. At low levels throughout the warning area, 2-8 cm will be more typical, with some places seeing very little

The predicted storm is over two days away. Plenty of time for it to go further south. The blizzard last week on the east coast of USA shifted 75 miles west two hrs before storm hit. This is far from a done deal yet!  Of course it could shift north but I think and expect any further shifting will be on a southerly motion.

On a slightly less scientific view in things it's drying up for a snow.

 

noticed a few fields where the sheep were gathering up and heading to the hedges.

Good luck folks. I got a feeling.

Baltic out.

[Neiller22]

It’s coming! 

[Daniel*]

You folks look to do best according to Euro4 could be decent accumulations even for low levels. I’m jealous.

[ronan]

We need a nice new thread. I did message admin a couple of days ago but no reply. 

[Neiller22]

If u look at Scotland’s snow warning for weds night and thurs it really would not take much more of a shift southwards for us to also be included in this warning ! I reckon we still have a fair chance of being included in this nearer the time.

We have alittle whiteness in the shower in Antrim   Sleety. so off to a good start lol

Yes, wouldn't need to shift South much at all. The triple point is moving just North of Ulster, a 50 or 60 mile shift South could do it.

[bobbarley]

Love this bit just before the event, in my head 3 feet of snow will fall but in reality some will be lucky (Pom, sperrin, MS, boofer, etc) others not so lucky (ahem Rochey) but let’s all enjoy the lamppost watching!
