I see from that UKMO video, where he mentions heavy snow for Wales, if you look a few frames before, you can see the same symbols/hatch pattern for the east coast of Ireland (Dublin and Wicklow anyway).
A dump of snow would be satisfactory compensation for not having a storm!

So does this mean the south east can forget about it as will miss out again?

I could almost burst with excitement at the prospect of snow
Give it until the next GEFS run at 9.30pm before getting too excited, Karen. The positioning of the low pressure system heading from our south toward the english channel is key. If it shifts any further south then the snow potential will also shift south. If it tracks further north then better again. Ultimately, the intensity and longevity of any precipitation also remains uncertain. Either way, parts of the country deprived of snowfall for 12 long months are in their best position to see snowfall yet this winter.
Just hang on to your hats for another GEFS run or two I say.0 -

I don't understand any of that stuff you just wrote except about being in a position to see snow and that is enough to me This is way more interesting than studying for my finals! 0 -

Donegal gets good coverage but not so much here in Buncrana .. Even Derry seems to do better than us weather wise and thats only 14 miles away. Snow dance continuing 0 -

I really hope so but we now have to wait til 9.30 what happens then? Will we know or will we need to wait for another update tommorrow?
We'll have a better chance of knowing. You can never really say you know what the weather will do, even in the next few hours, but the 18z run should, in theory, give more accurate information than the 12z, because it has more data available to it, and is making predictions less far into the future.
So we won't know for sure, but we'll know more.

East coasts are going to struggle due to onshore winds to get snow at sea level but there may be snow for a time as the precipiation clears and winds go offshore - however a light wind may mitigate against this somewhat and allow snow to sea level on coasts at times.

So as it stands inland south east may be better off
