    Wind has started to pick up here in the last 20 minutes or so. Was very quiet prior to that.

    What are the chances of the East Coast seeing some snow tonight? Do these showers make it that far across the country or do they usually fizzle out before they get here?? :confused:

    check out metchecks warnings, severe weather warning for northern ireland however only in the 6 counties showing up red and no risk outside of the NI border.:) very political rain/sleet/snow/wind if that came off!!

    Indeed it's well overdue but although I haven't dismissed it I don't think it's too likely here. There's probably a fairly good chance of seeing snow but we need the showers to hit here and we would need it to be very heavy for it to start to stick. Temp is still dropping, now 3.9C dp 0.6C

    http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp looks like the south is getting a hammering of showers of rain, hail, sleet, and snow over higher ground!
