Nice.

The snow in Derry better follow me out the road now . Approaching Claudy and snowing but not quite as heavy just yet.

[Rocheydub]

Lovely. Fair play people! Enjoy it... Post the pics up when you get a chance!

[Nqp15h]

Still sleety crap. Not sure why it's snowing in Derry, when it's closer to the sea.

WRF has got it right 4 times now this winter i am following it for now on.

[Nqp15h]

Think I'm going to throw the towel in on this one. 

Rain is starting to pull away.

You can see the localised snow in Derry.

0.0c Foyle Bridge.

1.6c Ballykelly.

Don't know what that's about. http://www.trafficweather.info/roadWeather/rwisMap.jsp

So the system is going to pivot in on itself and turn back around for another double pasting? Still snowing here ground all white even the pavements starting to accumulate well

[booferking]

Some images just now.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Intensity picking up again here now , everything white ?

 

[gary1365]

If that happens then we could do quite well!! Latest BBC forecast looks good for the rest of the night!
