Proper heavy snow here now and starting to settle but I can safely say that won't be the case!

This evening looks fairly OK for Donegal, particularly high ground, but you never know.

Decent covering from shower in Wexford and Waterford.

Temperatures have been dropping here as the morning has went on. The showers were keeping the humidity up.

Now 1.5c

Not a manned report so. I know a guy works there, must ask him if theres any human input anymore.

They issued a Special metar at 10:11 reporting moderate snow (SN). Before it was rain, though.

We had snow in Wexford this morning

Again, this site is extremely accurate for snow predicting in marginal situations. I find that the precipitation usually turns to snow around the 60-70% mark (if there is no warm layer).

I'd say pretty much auto but in a rain snow situation they edit it or send out a SPECIAL

Would love to go a hike but it is a very wet cold, bitter.

Yeah looks like there was no human input before they made the 10:11 entry.

Automated reports have the AUTO marker on them. The airport is right on the coast so maybe it was rain there for a while, unless there people here who were actually at the airport. In any case, it matters not.

Good vis here today as have a good view of that shower from here in Galway, and can even see another behind it!

Nqp15hhu

This is a perfect day above 300 metres. Just constant snow showers and <0c. I am sure it is piling up there quickly.

And elsewhere around the island it's snowing at 0 metres. :pac:

I would imagine we will see a Status Yellow Snow/ice warning for the the northwest and north Connacht issued shortly for tonight and Saturday morning. Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo and Roscommon. Warnings already issued for Northern Ireland. Small possible chance Cavan and Monaghan may see a warning for tonight also.

No can't see a orange warning been issued to be honest. Not for tonight and Saturday morning anyways.

Yellow- Snow and Ice Warning for Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry

UK Met Office Weather Warning (www.metoffice.gov.uk)

Snow and ice may cause travel disruption tonight and early Saturday.

Showers will continue at times across many areas. These will bring a cover of snow in places. 1-3 cm could accumulate at low levels, mostly across Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England but as much as 5-10 cm of additional snow may accumulate at higher levels of these areas. Clear skies between showers will also bring the threat of ice.

Valid: 16:00 Friday 22/01/2021 to 10:30 Saturday 23/01/2021
