No its just out the road 5 mins from my house. Look for Ardmore on the map. Still coming down here. Sticking a little here but its wet! 

[Juuyoku]

Finally snowing and lying here . I was about to head to bed as I have a job interview tomorrow and want to be well rested but sure another wee hour up won't hurt...

[cheshire snow]

C.S

The showers appear to be more NW than W now so hopefully one or two will make it East by morning.

At its highest that hill is roughly 300m asl. I was only able to make it half way.

 

Modest height then. Get altitude is a good app I use for that

The ppn moving through at the minute is by far the heaviest of the night. It's bound to reach you guys. Gave us a pretty good top up and still falling.

Snowing again here this morning but not much lying will be interesting to see where all got a covering on my commute to work 

[mountain shadow]

Snowwwwwwwww!!!!

[Sperrin]

We've 2/3 inches here this morning, really heavy shower there an hour ago.

OFCOURSE, The magic line and Derry microclimate has prevailed! We had no snow not even a dusting and I even woke up to rain! 3rd time in a row, not happy

[gary1365]

Rain here too not a lot higher got snow. Not to worry it's still early and I'm about to drive over to coleraine now so I'll see some snow.

[Juuyoku]

Snow on the hills here and what little that was on the ground has melted away, as expected. I'm heading over the glenshane pass in a bit though, will see what it's like up there.

Last video from me, got new phone recently and addicted to the slow mo camera!

If this had of been December or January I think we could have done much better. The ice warning didn't materialise for me in the West here as pretty thick cloud cover remained between the showers so prevented a big drop off in temps. Thaw is kicking in rightly now.

What pleases me so much is the difference between this November and the last 2/3, I get a feeling that we could all do well over this winter.

Nothing really here in the east at all. But that is expected from a NW airflow. Been a really snowless last 3 years or so here but I have faith our luck will change soon enough.

The medium range models (end of month), really starting to pick up a strong -NAO signal with a segment of the PV dropping into Scandi and height rises to the West.

I think we will start to see some pretty special output soon.

Let's hope so mate hasn't been much of note here at all

Wasn't aware there was a risk of snow tonight??

 

NI Weather & Flood Advisory Service

5 mins · 

A Yellow warning of Snow has been issued for parts of Northern Ireland. (See Map)

A Yellow warning of Ice has been issued for Northern Ireland

During this evening & overnight wintry showers of Hail, sleet & snow will affect parts of NI, frequent and heavy at times giving accumulations in places, higher ground in Northern & Western areas most at risk.

Accumulations of 1 - 3 cm possibly 5 cm possible of higher ground, any at low levels will tend to be more slushy. Any accumulations are likely to melt quickly during the Saturday.

With temperatures dropping tonight ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces.

Although the stated accumulations are not excessive amounts, given the fact that ice will develop across most areas and combined with lying snow, this is likely to lead to hazardous driving conditions in many parts.

The public are advised to take extra care if travelling and to be prepared for wintry conditions and possible disruption to travel, especially on high level routes.

[Sperrin]

It doesn't feel like it's going to freeze to me, any ppn we've had this evening has been rain, not even a hint of sleet. Is there anywhere you can get an idea of current temperatures around Ireland? BBC only gives Temps from weather stations and those are usually two hours delayed.

[mountain shadow]

Heavy rain here.

[booferking]

Its all been a bit of a damp squib this cold spell snow potential but lets look on the bright side its not even winter yet.

[Sperrin]

Sky has completely cleared now between showers and surfaces look to be freezing over, any showers now likely to be snow. However, looking at the radar and they seem to be dying off a bit!

[January Snowstorm]

Colder uppers moving across the country after midnight. More like for showers to turn to snow then in the very West and North. Dry elsewhere....

[booferking]

Very wet snow falling now but the showers seem to have died away out west roads could be very icy in the morning take care.

[cue_killar]

Everything is nice and white with frost this morning.  Good to see again
