Sure. That was a given!

Ha ha

Not much has followed up since the heavy snow around 7 and 8am. So there's no winter wonderland to report just yet!

[booferking]

Optimism is fading greatly for tonight warm core galore need a big shift from 12z later looking very unlikely for any snow away from big hills near you.

 

[ronan]

Met Office warning update. 

[mountain shadow]

Pretty much zero chance of snow tonight now away from highest hills and that is that.

[Juuyoku]

Snow showers here but far too wet to lie unfortunately. 

[booferking]

Snowing away here trying to lie here to also slushy on surfaces.

I was up at Loughermore forest there with the wee fella and there was very little snow about and the temp was 1. If I'd have walked up to the trig which is about 400m asl off the top of my head I'm sure there would be more but the wee man is only nearly 2 and it would too much for him.
