Pretty strong signal days 7&8 leading to GH spread not bad either time will tell.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Definitely colder tonight an early frost has set in, hopefully if we get any showers they will be of the white variety 

[bobbarley]

Charts are looking fantastic tonight, 18z loads of snow potential 

[Juuyoku]

Snowing lightly here and lying. 

[Sparky72]

Not too much in the way of showers about.

[mountain shadow]

18z GFS even better than the 12z for a brutal Northerly, but again all FI.

Need it to get into T+192.

[Sperrin]

Any sign of shower intensity increasing during the night? Not much happening so far!

That shows a North Easterly of not major cold though, Its the purple we want to tap into.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

[ronan]

Just now in Derry. 2nd snowfall of the season. Lovely 

[mountain shadow]

Well, the proper Northerly has moved further away, now at day 15.

A cold but not proper Easterly looks like setting up, with marginal uppers, so only higher ground might benefit.

Nice one Ronan. 

[ronan]

This is what the snowfall radar was showing at the time. Only a wee dusting but nice to see. 

[bobbarley]

Roads awful on North Coast this morning, nice covering, close to sea level

[ronan]

Took the Drone up for a wee shot of Derry this morning. Great to see some snow on the ground.

[BIG LAD]

Nice frost this morning, down to -0.8c and a lovely change from the rain. Good to see some of you got snow!

If only.....

[Sperrin]

I see the met office have extended their snow and ice warning out to tomorrow morning at 11am. Seems a bit odd considering the lack of precipitation around. Although there appears to be more happening around the west coast of Scotland heading our way.

Amazing moon halo last night (in south Tipp atm)

[Sparky72]

Not much in the way of showers heading this way? Or am I missing something?

[gary1365]

Wee dusting round Limavady this morning. I left the house on the bike this morning before daylight to head up to loughermore trig for sunrise. There was a few cm once you gained a bit of elevation.

Metoffice forecast:

Tonight:

Wintry showers becoming heavier and more prolonged in evening and spreading south, with some lying snow at low levels. Drier later in night with a few clear spells and frosty. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Thursday:

Rather cold and frosty, but mainly dry and bright with some sunshine. Wintry showers near coasts and perhaps more prolonged wintry weather in evening. Fresher northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 3 °C.

 

 

 

Maybe in for a surprise for some.  Hopefully
