Another orange wind warning for here tomorrow. The criteria is way too low. Idk now many we've had that are absolutely nothing. 

The S word mentioned for high ground tomorrow from both mets. 

Cold air indicating sleet shown on radar now Donegal 

[Weegaz]

This is surprising for tomorrow

[gary1365]

Was out cycling there and I saw distant lightening off towards donegal a few times. I'm driving from limavady to groomsport and back tomorrow. I might see some snow on the Glenshane.

Heavy sleet and hail falling here now. Wasn't expecting that. Maybe a bit of snow later today

Winds really getting up tonight again, hopefully settling by morning as catching a flight to london

[Flakey]

Some wild weather in Leitrim today. Huge hail squalls and enormous cloudscapes. Pictures don’t really do it justice.

[BIG LAD]

Yeah showers here now of snow. Temp 2.4c.

[Flakey]

Could someone with better knowledge than me confirm whether these are mammatus?

The silence almost gives you your answer na52.

GFS shows snow showers, Euro4 also but don’t see much away from high ground. 
 

Would be nice to get one decent dumping this year, had very little this winter

[ronan]

Both the Coleraine Mountain and the Glenshane have a bit of snow on them tonight. I'll get my snow fix later this week with another 8 nights in Iceland. Plenty of snow forecast to 

[SMU]

Next week looks a good angle for NI > Tues eve onwards !

Angle looks to be the most NW for sometime!

Has been raining here non stop for 20 hours. Everywhere is water logged. Snow chances throughout the week

Sick of the rain, looking forward to a bit of spring warmth which won't be coming anytime soon

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Wee snow shower outside of Omagh atm

I don’t think we need to question if we get the precipitation but will it be cold enough

[mountain shadow]

This weather is bloody miserable. Hasn't stopped raining here in about 36 hours.

I'm not confident of snow chances here in the East next week but I always hope for upgrades!

Yup I am there already as well, this weather has been grim 

[mountain shadow]

A wee bit of snow in the Duff there.

Next week looking interesting snow wise with a possible potent NW.

[Rocheydub]

Bucketing down small snow flakes and grapple here for the last few minutes, starting to stick on the grass.... 

 

edit: stopping and melting now!

[Juuyoku]

Had a decent snow shower earlier and it started to lie but melted away when it stopped.

Persistent heavy rain and gusty wind since 1am ish. Will be flooding here today, rainfall accumulation fc plus what's fallen lately doesn't look good for Donegal. 

Met Eireann mention the possibility of frontal snowfall Sunday night for ulster and parts of Connacht. Hopefully we all see some snow as next week progresses. 

No end in sight to the wind and rain. Low after low after low for the next 14 days at least. 

The only comfort is the odd days with Pm air giving the chance of snow for some.

[Sparky72]

Think snow opportunities are limited
