A good dollop of snow outside Omagh. Traffic at a standstill in Omagh town apparently 

[BlastFromThePastbuzz]

Encouraging for those across the Northern third of ireland. Met Éireann just added Donegal to the orange warning. They had no warning for Emma earlier.

Yea I've been watching that blob it' been sitting north of me for ages. I got caught in that real heavy shower earlier out on the bike. It was almost blizzard conditions. I could barely see where I was going between the snow falling and it sticking to my glasses. My eyebrows were frozen when I got home.

 Friday looks a no go going by bbc weather now. Roll on spring. ?

Yet the GFS just gone has 12 hours if moderate snow.

Models are crap.

[gingercat]

Clear skies and not a single snowflake in Co Antrim.....

Euro4 hasn’t covered itself in glory either, they were predicting no accumulations for the entire northern 7 counties

Yeh pretty crap here - nada. Well jealous of everyone lol. I feel like this is the last chance for the winter to see some good snow - looks like I’ll miss out and have to wait till next winter ?. Everyone else enjoy. 

Here’s a pic from cavehill - notice the snow on other side of Belfast towards Lisburn ?

It’s the same view from craigantlet to comber - southwards and westwards. Looks like a lot of snow down that neck of the woods. Yet just 20-30 miles from me ??

Long time lurker first time poster just had a fiere shower here quite spectacular watching the snow blowing off roofs and gardens etc up until now this wintery spell had been very underwhelming this part of the country

[Neiller22]

Met eireann still going for snow in the north thurs night and fri in their latest update. Could just be radar watching tomorrow 

[ronan]

Just missing out on the heavier snow again! Again it's just north of me! Parts of Donegal getting hammered now. 

[booferking]

Heavy snow wit me now. 

[booferking]

Just look at the charts below never in my Day would i have thought that charts like this below would not produce countrywide snow on the ground from East to West coast shocking to say the least.

[Hegzyy]

right to the end of the ecm we are between -6 and -8 uppers?! under variable low pressure, output looks broke after tomorrow lol

BBC NI weather just highlighting the uncertainty there. Looked snowy in the South East from the graphics.

[Neiller22]

Nearly hitting us ms 

[snowydog]

Am I the only one here that hasn’t got snow today? Lol. And by no snow - I mean not even a thin layer on the ground ?

So near and yet  so far.

Dublin getting hammered though by the looks of it.

Showers should pick up for later tonight and into tomorrow morning.

No lying snow for me either, just a few flurries. These weather models are just all talk and no show!  Still time though....

[John Cox]

We've had blizzard conditions here in Dublin for the last 30 minutes.

The wind has got so strong the snow is beginning to swirl and drift. Lovely jubly 

[Rocheydub]

Loving the good vibes here lads and ladies! Glad you’re all wishing me well with it!!! :-)

 

Best snow I’ve seen in over 25 years, better than 2010! Tomorrow is supposed to be on a par with 1982. I’ll be snowed in if that’s the case. I have to go to work at 9am on Friday morning, looks like I’ll have to walk to work as it will most likely be un-driveable! Great snowfall again this evening and the bits that melted are all frozen over as it’s currently -3.2.
