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 to the Atlantic onslaught in sight. Low after low after low.

Some Pm air on occasion gives some snow chances but generally just wet and windy.

Gfs 4am 7am. Icon total accumulated snow for Sunday/Monday. Looks like a dumping. Last frontal snow here was March last year. Sunday night will be a late one

Is it not cruel though that it’s going to dump snow in the middle of the night then wash it away by morning?!

Tis better to have dumped and washed than to never have dumped at all

Haven't been looking too much at charts recently and have only caught up with this snow risk for Sunday into Monday. Looks good for me! 

Had a boat at the GFS ens for 12z and its not often you see snow risk for every single time frame from beginning to end!!

Does anyone think there’ll be any snow lying away from high ground by morning tomorrow or is it all to have washed away by then?

Just seen a chart for 4am which showed snow starting to turn back to rain at my location.

Just checked most of high resolution models and I'm surprised the warning from both mets is so understated. Met office pretty much going for above 100m, big accumulations above 200m. Met Eireann have snow mention in the fine print of their rain warning. 

Met Eireann do mention rain clearing in the morning but have rain sleet snow clearing ulster. I think they're under playing it because its happening during the night. 

I think some inland areas of Ulster areas will see 5 to 10cm and on higher ground 15cm +. Various models show a high for me tomorrow of 2 to 3c so the melt shouldn't be too extreme if that happens. Anyway just my opinion they obviously know much more than me, I just think they're playing it down as it's happening during the night. 

Hope your right Donegal , managed to convince the brother to come out early hours and try some of camera night time and hopefully snowy flash photography, so if nothing happens you can all have a good chortle in the morning

I personally love rain to snow>
Watching the transition & the temp drop bit by bit is mesmerising !

Good luck guys

Remember New Years Eve being transfixed in 2009-2010 on the weather station, the temperature dropping like a stone, the very light rain turning to sleet at about 9pm, the sleet turning to proper snow, giving a light covering, then stopping. The temp had gone from +11C to -2 in about 3 hours. It started to sleet and rain again slightly.  I was so disappointed, that I just went to bed. Woke up to a belt of thunder at 2 am. Got out of bed, and the snow was belting down, all was white and New year had rung in beautifully for me!!! What followed was the stuff of legends.

 

I've never lost that feeling. I'll be staying up tonight to keep an eye out anyway!
