I think it has been well pointed that most of the activity would be from later on (after 6) no need to panic yet...

Unfortunately for me winds r going to turn more northerly then so will turn to rain for me! Well at least I've a couple of cms here already so hopefully get snowman finished before it turns

What makes you think it will rain?? Anything that falls between now and Saturday will be snow, especially up north

[Weegaz]

MetO forecast, if it is to be believed, shows overnight heavy showers for a period of hours.

So far for my locations it has been accurate.

As Bob mentioned, if winds turn more northerly it would help us down the east coast, especially if wind speeds increase.

Its not over yet and looking cold through to Saturday mid morning.

Edit:- Its showing the wind direction to change at around 8pm this evening to NW / NNW direction with a slight increase in speed

[More Runs Needed]

Had a shower of snow grains/snow pellets, can anyone explain why this happens rather than snow showers?

[More Runs Needed]

Also Heathrow has already cancelled flights, looks like there's confidence that the SE England will get a healthy dose of snow

[Guest]

Temperature rising, need a snow shower to cool it down. The roof and garden shed dripping with water.

20 minute heavy snow shower just finished here in Cork.  Didn't stick though.

[Longtimelurker]

Snow warning for Western half of NI for tomorrow removed. It'll probably snow more in the West tomorrow now

[ronan]

As expected not a lot overnight. Looking forward to this evening. Incoming.....

 

[Neiller22]

Beautiful crisp sunny day here since I got up. Hoping for something this eve until tomorrow night now going by updated warnings. We will see. 

[mountain shadow]

Come on snow, get a shift on.

[Sperrin]

This is more like it, hefty shower incoming from the NW. Really hope that we get something more this evening.

Yes, we've hit this shower. Hail/Snow

[Guest]

Shower, gone, dusted, over. Didn't add much, it was too light and mixed with too much hail.

Dieing out really quickly unfortunately. I notice a thundery snow cell moving towards Donegal. Someone could catch an intense one out of that.

[Longtimelurker]

Yes showers are rapidly disintegrating once they make land fall. 

[ronan]

Really need things to come in more from the North West/North. Just not happening at the minute. 

[Guest]

Unless the showers gang up together off the Donegal coast the prospects don't look too good. Most "snow" has melted already.

[Sparky72]

Well that was disappointing! ... (forgot to say in Derry today not Omagh.)

[Sparky72]

This seems to be a constant wait.

[snowmore]

Nice shower coming in from Mayo! Hopefully it reaches this far inland. I haven't seen anything yet.

I know a few are downbeat so far but it was always going to be this evening when things beef up a bit. Better waiting till after dark anyway. Will stick better then

[Weegaz]

Still a lot of precipitation to come
