I'm back to England next week, you'll not have me to entertain you.

Met E still have showers on the east coast, including Dublin tonight. Anything that does fall will be snow, no doubt. I don't see it myself, maybe if the wind changed direction a bit it would help. We have the longest overland drag with the wind coming in over Galway before finishing in a cloudless sky in Dublin!!! That said, there are a few clouds now starting to creep through.

[norn iron]

Met Office weather warning has wind picking up later so hopefully pushing the showers further inland

[Nqp15h]

Ok that shower was a fail. Lets see what this next one does.

Please snow!

We still have lying snow in places on footpaths, grass etc but the roads are pure black ice. Dangerous. Was difficult walking the dog tonight. 

Anyway - I’m in the East. Doubtful of much action this evening. Possibly something in early hours of this morning - although that’s going by automated forecasts for my area. 

Some fresh snow would be welcome so I can get some movement in the car in morning to get up my wee hill. No chance in that ice. Automatics are a nightmare to drive in snow - luckily I can switch to manual but don’t have clutch to operate it as needed in ice.

Glenshane pass will be closed from 3 to 5am for a structural integrity assessment to be carried out due to freeze thaw action. 

[Nqp15h]

Right fingers crossed this doesn't fade! Crossing the Foyle!

[booferking]

Don't worry my friends it's not to happen to early morning thats when the fun really starts don't fancy an all nighter myself my online business suffers productivity .

Main Donegal town to Ballybofey road at around 8.50pm this evening. Roads highest point is 180. That pic is around 120 to 130m. Snow been lying there since early Tuesday

Good to have old FrostyJoe back. Never the same without knowing what's hsppening up Colerine mountain!

Anyone remember the name of the fella from Bangor who was a Mod on here? Wonder where he went to?

[bobbarley]

The Watcher, he appears very occasionally under a slightly different name

[Nqp15h]

Enough digs about a dormont member.

This shower appears to be holding...

[Sneachtastorm]

Latest shower is a tad sleety I'm sad to say
