Another one incoming @ronan?!

[Sussex Jules]

Blimey about an inch here and it's still coming down quite heavy. That's pretty good going as it had all melted yesterday.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Any reports from Omagh, know the schools are closed....

It could be alright! That streamer was really slow moving and kinda stalled for a bit. We got about 2 hours out of it!

With all your fabulous winters pictures, I thought I would post up the Dublin version of snowmageddon! Taken just 1 minute ago.... A vicious winter storm to say the least!!!

I think your snow shield has made its way up to the southeast now as well. Glorious sunshine generally last two days. Absolutely beautiful and so puts you in the mood for spring and summer. 

[ronan]

No tape measure handy but I would say 3/4 inches. Happy with that!

[Bottled Snow]

Nice to see all the snowy pictures this morning.

Heavy rain spreading east tonight  but with cold air digging in behind. This could give a spell of back edge snow in places. GFS has been consistently showing this so maybe on to something. Would not be surprised to see some places wake up to a covering again tomorrow.

Snow chances likely to recede after that away from higher ground for rest of the week and then drier by weekend. Where we go after that who knows, but hopefully a potent east or northeast spell setting up to see out winter

measured 3 1/2 inches snow on the car this morn. few schools closed round here. is it gonna get milder today?

[parrotingfantasist]

That shower really suffering a dearth

[Neiller22]

I imagine it won’t be long until meto put another warning for tonight and tomorrow be the usual 5-10 cms  high ground and a sleety 1-2 cm possible low ground. Just to cover their backs. The usual really.

Usually it shows wonderland charts like that for 4 5 days out. Then downgrades. It is in line with Met Eireann's warning with West Ulster and North Connacht worst hit. I don't think it will be that bad but you never know ha 

Where is this warning on met eireann for west ulster and north Connacht. I can’t see it anywhere?  Maybe it’s the hangover.

Ah right. Changed again then. Hard to forecast obviously.

Watch for upgrades in the models over the next few days i think northern blocking will be here a lot quicker than what the models are showing start of next week is a possibility.

I’m with you on that one. I’m basically taking all models with a pinch of salt at the mo. I don’t think they have a handle on this at all.

Aye. Marginal, could be great, could be wet. Bit of height will help you.

I disagree unfortunately. I think we'll be into the last week of February before we see anything decent.

I’m happy with either to be honest as long a it’s a shot 

[parrotingfantasist]

Crisp blue sunshine. A lot of the snow already burned off in unshaded areas, shaded areas still plenty of it to be had! Beautiful and scenic.

What do you think about tomorrow morning's rush hour?

Possible 3 or 4 hours of heavy snow from 5 to 9?

Probably be a slush fest.

[parrotingfantasist]

ICON EU, MeteoGroup, GFS, HIRLAM all bit onto this back edge snow for Monday night/Tuesday morn.

Yes I think there is a great chance tomorrow morning to maybe see a decent fall but not sure it will accumulate to much but here’s hoping. After that I think NW may return again before the NE/E arrives. Still wouldnt rule out s Greenland high either.  Not even soldvon next week either as I think anything after t72 is up in the air short term speaking. But time will tell
