That would be snow Jello lol.

It's more rain than snow.  I mean proper white fluffy snow that leaves proper covering.

[Nqp15h]

Just looked at the radar and it is very far north, looking to go past us soon.

Not sure it's going to snow.

 Is the front due to pivot at all?

[Sperrin]

Ironically the radar showed me under pink earlier with heavy rain, now showing rain/sleet and it's been flat out snowing!

[Sparky72]

has this event blown through quicker than expected? The forecasts show precipitation till midnight?

@booferking what's the story in Cookstown?

Snowing but it seems to be to warm to lay, we still have snow from last night but any snow falling is to wet temp still to high here at 1.2c.

Whats it like there?

The temperature has risen here. I think this is a bust AGAIN! 

Same members getting treated tonight again.

Back edge looks good!

[Weegaz]

If the MetO automated forecast is to be taken as gospel then the last of the precipitation on the radar is it for us.

I had some big flakes mixed with rain, nothing settled. Just back in from getting bin down lane and just mizzling now

Why would it be snowing to the south? It's actually warming up here, risen 0.5c.

Colder air tucking in again from North West maybe

[Guest]

SNOW!

[Nqp15h]

I don't know what it is, but you'd think it would be cooling here with the heavy rain and calm conditions. 

[ronan]

Not heavy but big 50p sized flakes here now!!

Light snow in Coleraine 

[ronan]

Getting going a bit now. Big massive flakes!!

[Nqp15h]

Still raining! 

[jello]

Huge flakes mixing with the rain here.  Come onnnn!! Lol

[Nqp15h]

We really need the temp to drop a degree for snow here.

Obviously the wet bulb is close.
