    Dusting of snow here this morning as I wake. Enough to make everything grey, not quite white if you know what I mean.

    It's nice to be on high ground where wintry showers are concerned.
    I see the Met are forecasting an initial spurt of snow on high ground with the coming storm.

    I'm not so sure whether it will be cold enough in the south west by that stage for ye to be affected as the wind will be in off the Sea directly but it is possible especially for ch750536 up at a 1000ft asl.
    However on the high ground if and where it does occur for a short time, it will be a true blizzard without a doubt.I emphasise the word "if" there.

    (somepeople by the way think heavy snow falling is always a blizzard it is not,it's only such when theres a gale blowing/strong wind)

    Will load a pic.

    My temp has dropped 1.3c in the last 15 mins. Maybe the cold is reaching here at this stage? Anyone able to confirm this temp drop also?

    Not here anyway, the temp is rising, now 9.6C. dp is low at 0.7C though. My vantage pro has its snow forecast symbol up but that usually means nothing. Seems to be a big showers out West of me now approacing.

    Yeah trogdor, I should have looked outside first. I think there was a shower passing except that nothing much fell from it. Temp is up to 7.9 now again. It was just a blip really.

    My wife was in Killarney last night, 30 miles away. Was amazed when I told her about rain, hail snow etc as she had nothing but sunshine.

    One of those days I think.

    Yes, I'm serious. We're about 5 miles apart- the showers aren't that big so it's certainly plausible that it simply missed you. The snow only lasted 3 mins anyway.

    Just having a flick through the models there, It seems its going to stay cool all through this week and it looks just about cold enough for any percip on proper high ground to fall as snow. So what does anyone think, by Sat/Sun could we have a few feet of lying snow on the Sally Gap or similar? There's a lot of percip forecast this week!
