One at the top is latest. North third of the county has a lot less snow. Still great below that but always was. 

Thankyou. Unfortunately not so good for me. Hey ho.

Steady showers here all evening. Fairly light, but the lying snow is building up a bit and some back roads are in bad shape.

The showers are building as they cross over the north coast heading across Lough Foyle and Inishowen, giving us a nice dusting here on the north west coast. Hope to see a bit of lying white stuff in the morning.

They've not updated since 12pm though and will update again at 12am.

These streamers are so dependent on wind direction it's unreal.

10 miles South of me is gettin mullered.

Hopefully better for us in the morn MS as wind supposed to be direct easterly. As for for fri  low it will be nowcasting I think. It will either be great or a bust but I’m not hopeful at all. As for the streamer it sure is a bummer. Just missing me by a couple of miles. ??

Mournes will be getting a serious pasting ms, streamers seem to have followed that line nearly all day. 

Can’t believe we have had nothing so far, like literally nothing at all, nout, zilch, nada, zero, diddly squat, stained glass window all......I could go on

Well we're 80% chance of heavy snow showers between 1am and 7am so here's hoping.

Took the dog for a walk around 7PM, good snow showers then, it seems to snow every half an hour here tonight, another shower now. Plus the wind is causing the snow to blow around and drift, i've never felt snow so soft. Very quiet here, haunting to be out.

Interesting. They seemed convinced so we will see what meto say for north. They didn’t seem so sure earlier. Hopefully new info has brought on this warning.

Heard Eileen Cusack mention earlier today that there was one particular model they were waiting for output from tonight and that forecasts would be updated based on that. Sorry, I can't remember what model she mentioned.

 

Edit: It wasn't any of the models I've seen mentioned on a regular basis this site.

Well they are seeing a front meeting polar air so of course it will turn to snow. 

We know it’s going to turn to snow the issue is if it will reach Northern Ireland though.

Well if it going to hit Donegal it will hit NI. Their threshold for red warning is only 8cm

Warning just covers Donegal, cavan and Monaghan, they don't issue warning for Northern Ireland but they give a weather forecast for NI. I don't understand the red tbh for Ulster counties but maybe they see something we don't.
