The bbc radar shows nothing for Donegal tomorrow , It has the west of Ireland covered tomorrow evening though I think.
What should Harps and I expect tomorrow Nacho? not to forget Irish67, where is he?:)

The BBC NI news at 10.30 showed Mayo and Connemarra well covered, very liitle for Ulster, except coastal areas, Belfast and Down looks like they'll get more.

Been wondering where the fires of hell are located since last years freeze.
So where are you? Nacho? Too much chilli in the mix!

Yes also MT mentioned heavy sea effect streamers for tomorrow so hopefully I might get some more snow out of that.

Harps

The showers have largely died out here in the past few hours, a few light ones but nothing significant, still roughly 25cm on the ground. The wind seems to be turning more northerly now looking at raintoday and theres a really decent looking shower just north of here, not sure if it'll hit here but looks nice

Sheba891

Radar suggests it might!!! Fingers crossed;)

Harps

Raintoday has stopped working but it seems to have hit, snowing again!

Sheba891

so it is...joy

Very little snow here in Shercock County Cavan. Maybe 1 or 2cm.
I have been watching the radar with disgust these past days as the snowfall has petered out just before it got this far.
So much for all the hype about a massive snow event for the whole country.

A very snowy day with a total of 7cm now with up to 12 -14cm in the worst areas of Sligo (Tubbercurry, Riverstown, Manorhamilton Road)

There is currently a dangerous looking clump of clound 500 miles to the North of Ireland and if this hits we could be up on a foot

Frosty now -2c

Good thing post 845 came in before post 846.

Harps

Had a look at that cloud but it seems to be being pushed west by that cloud north of Scotland, might clip Mayo and Galway

the wind has picked up here and it's snowing again. close to a foot of snow on the grass- the ruler was just about above the snow line.

the really excellent thing about all this is it won't be disappearing after a day or two. so we should all see fairly low nightime values in a couple of days

Harps

Same here, finally got around to measuring the grass, 28cm. 5cm short of a foot.

Not a hope I would have even dreamt of that this time last night

snaps

Never seen so much snow here in the west, never. like you guys say over 20cm here.

Sheba891

In Letterkenny, Donegal,,, 11 inches in garden nearest house,, drifting much deeper nearer trees MT was so right....never seen so much snow in Donegal in my life..... excellent :)

mountainy man

Had a low of -5.3 earlier is up to -3.6 now and snowing lightly after an hour of clear skies , have 9 inches in the front garden now, its so bright and beautiful out there:)

nkay1985

Not a centimetre of snow in Waterford which I'm grateful of. It can snow all it likes from now on!

Mc Love

I think the snow isnt bad at all - its just morons that should have stayed at home. Some people cant drive in this weather!

spideog7

Managed to get home for Christmas yesterday (hence the jet lag and 4am post!) so it can snow all it wants to now!! Although I thought I was leaving the snow behind for a while. We had about 9cm from Thursday night and Friday and some heavy snow showers fell tonight (North Galway), everything we had shoveled is well covered with at least another 5cm now though. Seems to have eased off in the past few hours, some nice glimpses of the stars when the showers clear.
