    I've scanned the mountains for glimmers of white,
    I've noted all hailstone showers, heavy and light,
    Searched the sky for any sign,
    that snowfall could be claimed as mine.
    Heard reports of snow in places
    Is it optimism in some cases?
    All I know that in my wee location
    waiting for snow seems to be a patient occupation

    No snow in Sligo town yet just heavy hail showers.

    think the sea effect is preventing it on the coast but inland is getting more wintry precip

    Temperature has been hovering between 1.7c and 4.4c in Sligo.

    Goes up a tad when the shower hits and drops back down in the immediate aftermath.

    Icy roads tomorrow morning for certain

    Getting some sleety wet snow in Belfast at the minute. Too wet for it to lie.
    It doesn't even feel that cold although my big son had to defrost his car earlier.

    Update: just looked out and its falling heavier and starting to lie :)

    Hey all,

    Snowing nicely in Omagh here for anyone interested. Been going for around 10 minutes. Had a wee bit earlier on around 1pm too but it didn't stick. Chatting to a mate who lives about 10 minutes away (up the Sperrins) and he's saying they got a fair bit today already.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the invite but I'm ok. Not really a weather nut (heavy snow aside!) but just thought I'd drop a message here for those who are interested.

    Anyway, snow stopped and miserable rain again.

    Don't be fooled. Nacho promised me a few turf bags of snow a couple of years back and I still waiting for them. When it comes to snow, Nacho is a truly selfish boyo.

    Rain? A bit surprising given your location which I would have thought was one of the perfect locations tonight. A small mild sector passed over the South of the country this evening but is clearing away now for colder air to take it's place. Most of the showers from now on away from Atlantic coasts should really be of snow.

    Depends on your altitude and distance from the sea, iRooter. Parts of Leitrim should see snow showers tonight but there will not be much accumulation nor will it survive for long after daylight breaks.
