I reckon most of us will see some snow.  I know they said mainly for the hills but I think definitely we will be in for a few surprises

I'd be very surprised if there isn't this is the coldest air of winter so far and its here for 3 days snow to low ground big possibility for sure.

Noticable temperature drop from this morning for sure

I walked round to the wife's work with the buggy earlier before and it was a pleasant temperature. When I came out again after 20 minutes or so it was cold to the point I was walking fast to stay warm.

My weather station base station batteries ran out a couple of days ago and I haven't got around to replacing them yet. Talk about bad timing lol.

[booferking]

Lol talk about going for snow Euro4 lying snow totals if only.

[ronan]

A little red starting to show on that snow radar now. Temps have definitely dropped quite a bit. 

[SMU]

Another 3 hours & you should be looking good !

Based on Euro 4 yes Steve, looking good overnight through to Wednesday for snow potential.

Staying in Belfast tonight, home tomorrow .. hopefully the glenshane looks s bit different on the way home 

[Sparky72]

Still think temps too high over next few days unless you’ve a bit of altitude ( I don’t! ) and surprisingly further east looks good. ( I see Newry with 2 snow symbols for Tue whereas here shows rain throughout)

[BIG LAD]

Temp down to 3.4c now so showers should be sleety from now on.

[gary1365]

Heavier parts of that last shower were a touch wintry.

Looks like hail showers only here so far

[BFS/BHD]

Sleet in Belfast. 

[mountain shadow]

Naff all in Castlereagh hills.

[Juuyoku]

A taste of snow on Benbradagh mountain here but thats it.

[mountain shadow]

I think I saw three or for flakes blowing in the wind. Temperatures to lower throughout the day so maybe a better chance later on.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Some tricky patches on the drive up through the Sperrins this morning, mostly ice, started to snow in a couple of areas, not major yet though

[mountain shadow]

Heavy sleet shower in Belfast, 70% snow.

[BIG LAD]

Shower just now left a slight covering.wet though. Temp 1.6c.

[jello]

Proper snow.  North Belfast.  Huge big flakes and starting to lie.  Blizzards when the wind blows

[ronan]

A little snow and hail falling here now. Hopefully as the day goes on the showers get heavier. It's a start anyway.

A small flurry of snow in Larne this morning just before I left. Snowing on and off on they way into Belfast.

Here's hoping there's a bit more later...

[gary1365]

Heavy hail shower left the place when then turned to sleet. It is trying to turn to snow.

[ronan]

This looks a bit better
