    I think there is 4cm up here, not much due to the diversion of the showers to the SE. It is subzero but not too cold.

    Just cloudy here and cold.

    I think you could well have some settling snow before tomorrow morning.

    The lake weirdly appears to be partly frozen

    That's an incredible scene. How high up is that spot?

    Yep plenty of snow to fairly low levels in west Donegal, nothing here closer to the sea but looking inland everything is white with a good covering on all the hills

    maps.ie says 265m

    From looking at the hills around here I'd guess lying snow level is around 200m though there's a patchy covering to maybe under 100m

    It clearly did snow but obviously not in your back garden

    Some accumulation at Ballypatrick Forest (156 m amsl) during this morning, 5 cm lying snow at midday. None of the other NI stations was reporting lying snow.

    Morning photos, taken near the place where Sligo, Mayo and Roscommon meet one another. ;)

    Yeah, I know, a bit blurry. But shot from quite a distance. As an example - Benbulben is 47 km away from me.

    I am back from my 6 mile hike. At midday the Freezing level appeared to be about 900-1000 feet as the snow above that was frozen solid. It might be a little higher now.

    What surprised me was the partially frozen lake. I don’t believe it fell below -2c last night. I assumed one would need several nights of -5c or less for a frozen lake no?

    Great pictures. Just had a light rain shower. The clouds look a bit snowy further to the north, so maybe i'll get lucky later.

    Birdies took a look at remaining snow on the Ox Mt's and decided to fill up. :)

    What do people think about this “event” tonight? The Met Office are bugging it up referencing snow lying at low levels but it appears to be coming with warmer air so how is that going to materialise?

    AFAIR forecast for Ulster says there will be -2 to +2 in terms of air temperature, more than likely colder on the ground level. So quite a good chance for snow sticking, IMO. :)

    The freezing level seems to rise to 700m though.

    Yeah back into the showery crap. Temp rising and becoming more marginal. I would prefer that we dropped below freezing first.

    Why can’t we just have a couple of days of nice crisp weather? I hate this showery nonsense

    Less than a mile from me. I'll see if I can stay awake long enough 🙈

    It’s not going to snow low down. We’re back to the same nonsense we had last night except with a rising freezing level.

    My humidity is 94%..., awful

    Lots of sleet showers here right on the coast, some nice big snowflakes in the mix so I'd imagine anywhere with a bit of height should still be seeing more snow tonight
