I'm thinking tomorrows your day as winds swing more easterly. Though admitadly situation does look dire

[Hegzyy]

watching the bbc forcast our snow chances do look like just taking scotlands leftovers

[Darren Bradley]

Light flurries in Coleraine 

 

[Darren Bradley]

And it's stopped again

Big blob incoming to my north, will miss me by about 3 or 4 miles. Hopefully get a wee top up soon, there's a nice covering on the grass and cars. Roads and path are generally clear. I'd imagine anything that falls will stick from now on. The snow earlier was real powdery fluffy snow. Reminiscent of when we used to ski many moons ago!!!

Was a cold day in Dublin today rochey, was snowing just before airport on my way down about 9am. The wind chill up on the roof of tallest building in Ireland was serious. Looks good for you guys end of this week. The guys on site where advised by metE that they expect 10+ cm on Friday morning and for us to advise our site team, apparently if it snows at all contractor shuts site

[Darren Bradley]

Guys I wish you well for the big event

If dublin gets 60cm of snow then it will be historical

The veey best of luck - also elsewhere

@Sperrin 7 inches here / 20cm - closing in on your 12 inches

parts of North kent will be 40cm by end of tonight

Excellent Steve. I’m sure you’re all loving it! We’ve had more than enough snow in NW Ireland this winter so delighted to see other areas take a pummelling. 

Do you think this low pressure system will swing far enough north for us in NI?

[BlastFromThePastbuzz]

Kent only has a yellow warning. Big boo boo if 40cm comes. 

[Weegaz]

18z taking it west?

[Darren Bradley]

Weegaz-still gonna be poor night overall

 

 

[Darren Bradley]

Sperrin speak for yourself we had poo up on North coast - I want buried lol lol. Or even a decent covering lol

What an impossible low to forecast. Looks absolutely crap for most bar the South East! This is turning in to a right crapfest. Lol. Just cold/dry air. The one reason why I hate Easterlies! Hopefully a surprise or 2 before the end if the week or has the 18z just staggered hime from the pub.

Hopefully it’s lit to the tits as it gives us up here nought

[mountain shadow]

The BBC weather forecast st 9.55pm looked brilliant for the Friday snow then out comes the 18z GFS and it's garbage. 

 

[gary1365]

I've been really enjoying the cold dry weather it makes a change from all the wet we've been getting recently.

[Rocheydub]

Best snow since 2010, by a long shot! Time for the long walk with the dog and the hip flask!!!

[BlastFromThePastbuzz]

No really difference in shower activity current radar for those in orange warnings and for some  not under any warnings. Small sporadic specs of sh...te lol. Some small reds appearing in the Irish sea

Guys you’re a fussy lot, no snow was predicted before now, warnings don’t start til midnight, subzero for the next 3 days at least, showers are already piling in!

My point was there already was snow showers across areas with no warning and looked similar to areas under one. This spell seems just a bit mad to predict. Anything could happen over the coming days snow wise.
