Fingers crossed it reaches us over here - sun splitting the trees here in Belfast 

Everything dying off East of Lough Neagh unfortunately.

Latest Euro 4 seems to back this up. This "cold" not delivering in the East.....

[Juuyoku]

Melting away now, stop that!

[Sussex Jules]

Cheeky little 20 minute snow shower just now. Not heavy or long enough to settle but a good start.

[StormyWeather28]

Met Éireann used the S word twice in the same sentence, significant and snow for this evening and overnight. 

Expect increased warning level later 

[Sparky72]

Sun spliting inLimavady too if that’s any consolation!

[bobbarley]

Better for the snow showers to stop until later when they’ll lie better! Hope the MetO symbols are right for later

[bobbarley]

Lol that’s what I get, despite repeated warnings over many years to ignore them, they’ve changed already!

[ronan]

Hammering it down here in Park village. Lookong forward to seeing what tonight brings. 

[Juuyoku]

Moderate snow here, lying

Just be glad you actually have snow symbols. These Met Office automated have me been down for <5% of precipitation for the next 6 days.

 

[bobbarley]

Nothing more depressing than dry and cold when others are getting snow, and if anything fell from the sky it would lie. I feel your pain

Ring of fire in force today even snow on the Giants Causeway haha not much to low elevations so far but shower activity prepping up.

It's always amazed me when the showers are of rain they have little difficulty reaching the east coast no matter what direction they come from. But when the weather turns colder and showers are of snow they die out before reaching east coast. 

[mountain shadow]

GFS certainly consistent in looking to bring Thursdays frontal snow further North

That's your laws of thermodynamics right there. It can get very complicated to explain but as the source of the air cold, it's potential energy is lower there by it runs out of puff before it gets over here.

At approx 5.30 Euro4 should be in range to maybe give a clue

[Sparky72]

Not much in the way of showers.

[StormyWeather28]

Showers been mostly to the south of me, just had a flurry an hour ago. Already freezing and judging by radar should get a shower within 1 hour. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

See now that's the best kind of winter weather for me, snow on the mountains and fields around the central Sperrins on the drive home and none on the roads

[sabriel]

Showers are giving Dungannon a wide berth 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

[Downburst]

ICON isn't overly snowy for the Thursday system. Post this time it's expected to sink a bit. 

 

[O'Maille80]

Much ado about nothing all this. I'm sure some places will get some snow, possibly a lot, but the vast majority of people are not going to see much lying snow. Times running out on this winter, next weeks models watching will be vital if we are to salvage something out of it.

[Summer Sun]

Not familar with Ireland but just south of Dublin 25cm of snow on 12z Icon
