I couldn’t decide on watching Utd game once or watching paint dry.....it’s quite surprising how you can see the paint dry in certain spots first, almost being absorbed into the wall, quite fascinating 

Lol lol

Really heavy precipitation showing near Belfast, what’s the reports surely some snow!

[Guest]

9/10 O'clock starting time here precip turning redder and redder as evening heads onwards

Heavy sleet with me bob at nutts corner, next precipitation looking good for snow

[Sperrin]

Just had first proper wet snow shower pass through, only downside is the ground is absolutely drenched outside. Hopefully we can get a bit of a freeze between showers later.

The exciting thing for me is how intense the showers are, there's very little decay as they are moving west to east. This is a good sign for widespread coverage.

Still waay too early. Lowest uppers are incidentally actually at tomorrow afternoon/evening though tonight at 10pm/9 is a starter point

Ground absolutely saturated here close to Greenisland after a few passing showers... 

[ronan]

I would rather have a bit of a lull in showers so the ground can dry up a bit. It's pretty windy out so shouldn't take much to dry out!

This exactly. Dry up, cool up then let the fun begin. No need to start panicking yet

Opportunity lerker

Dang this auto type lol (n beer might have something to do with it as well)

Folks wet ground doesn't matter if it's cold enough. The snow is wet and that's why it won't stick. Though of course frozen ground certainly helps..

Looking good for all of us

I expect Cork to do well tomorrow evening

[Darren Bradley]

Stars back out here again n it's cold fingers crossed ? for later 

[Guest]

A little lull coming up to help dry out the ground before a good wave, quite windy out too. Cracker stuff

Would be good to see you guys in Cork and Rochey in Dublin get in on the action JS ?

[Darren Bradley]

Would be really nice to see an all Ireland event 

[BIG LAD]

temps seem to have stabilized around 2.5c. hope they fall away soon. stars are out so should help it get colder.

raining heavy again here. not even a wet flake in it.

that last shower turned to snow/hail. left a slushy deposit.

[Rocheydub]

For what it's worth, I don't expect any sticking snow until tomorrow after dark, the lower air temps then will help, maybe some sleet up to then. Expectations now at 90% for lying snow. Highest I've had since 2010.... By the way, I was 110% back then! :-)

[Sperrin]

Proper heavy dry snow now, car roofs starting to turn white!

[somofagun]

Big flakes of wet snow. Nothing lying yet
