Not one bit  showing for Sunday on forecast which is possibly why the meto have no warning out yet. Could all change but very strange considering there is some snow showing on  the models.

Should be a warning tomorrow if not I'll start to worry a bit lol

[Weegaz]

You’s 2 should have a snow ball fight tomorrow and sort this out once and for all, winner gets to name the snow man i’m going to build Sunday with my son 

Anyway, good to see reports of snow coming from the west already, it’ll be another hour or to before I get a chance to nowcast from home here, hopefully it’s big heavy snow flakes.

I have 5 snow smybols now for Sunday into Monday, compared to 1 earlier, confidence in automated must be growing.

MetO have been fairly accurate this winter, so hopefully we get them on board tomorrow

Hopefully. Not sure i like the new BBC graphics

PPN moving in a NE direction?

could bring the heavy showers shown on radar a lot more east with more weight to them?

Bog all happening here, agree with Neiller about the BBC graphics think they are bit on the pish side

Fair coming down now!! Crazy how quick things changed!

Those new Meteogroup BBC forecasts bear zero resemblance to what is crossing Ireland at the moment.

Very poor graphics.

Noticed that earlier MS, very poor. Surface temps etc have dropped about 2.5 degrees in the past half hour and it's still snowing away. About 1cm on the cars and grass.

Which is why i will just discount what they are showing for Sunday. They should have stuck with the meto.

Ps.. the easterly is still no closer so Mod thread not full of joy tonight

If we do get disruptive snow tonight, people will be completely caught unawares after that forecast 

 

[BIG LAD]

heavy sleet here.

[norn iron]

Is this band of precipitation not meant to be the forecast rain before the snow showers set in?
