Suppose to start as rain then snow

[mountain shadow]

12z GFS just out and the area of snow is even more confined to the North West. I wouldn't be holding out much hope folks.

I thought it upgraded slightly @mountain shadow when you compare to last run.

[Neiller22]

Me neither

Mizzle here now just a matter of time before it may turn

[somofagun]

Sleet at home

One thing about the weather is expect the unexpected. Iv sat here when rain was forecast and got snow and Vice Versa so anything could happen this eve as it’s so marginal. One thing for sure I don’t think it’s the last of the snow this year. Met update continually mentions possible snow in north and also wintery showers right through their outlook.

True.

It has been a decent enough Winter so far, with plenty frosts and snowfall in December  and January.

No sign of the precipitation crossing Ireland turning to snow anywhere at the moment.

Well, we'll know which snow radar is more accurate shortly.

[Sperrin]

Latest reports from Omagh = RAIN RAIN RAIN

No sign of any hint of sleet at all!

Heading home now shortly so will be interesting to see if the 100m increase in altitude will make any difference.

I don't think the proper heavy precipitation has reached us yet looking at the radar.

[Guest]

Currently 1.56 Dew point 

[Nqp15h]

It's 3c so it needs to drop 2 degrees, Briefman.

[sabriel]

Cookstown showing a temp of 1.9 & dewpoint of zero so here's hoping..

 

[booferking]
