Temperatures to 3.8c here now. The current dew-point profile over the north would indicate that it should fall as snow up there when the intense echoes reach there.

The wind and rain has been wicked here for the last hour or so. Rain coming in sheets and it is sleety/icy too - can see the icy bits running down the window.

26.2mm so far today. 3.7c atm.

Higher parts of the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains must be pasted at this stage.

Do we have any posters up north?

Latest METAR has light snow at Belfast Aldergrove. That could be a hot-spot for snow tomorrow too.

Horrible night here in Cork City. It has been bucketing down all day here and has only eased off a little in the past half hour or so. Blackpool is flooded again...

Wouldn't be the first time this year they got it wrong!

Yeah but how many times has January snowstorm got it wrong
Seriously though,I think,the met office are factoring in surface level cold advection here in determining NI snow this time.It's a particularly unusual set up.

Love how people around Dublin get a bit of snow and are now dying for more, can't beat a nice Atlantic storm in the west, gust of 104/kph in Castlebar and its bucketing it down

He lives in Omagh according to his profile, must be somewhere else the town as there's still no snow here, just sleet.

Edit: It is snowing here now, or at least its a mixture of sleet & snow as I can see some white patches forming in the grass below where I live. Wind is making it difficult to tell without venturing outside.

7.2c in Sligo now ... shyte!

It could be 15c by tomorrow morning at this rate.

Think it will make interesting reading when we see temperatures of 2 or 3c in the North and 12c possible in the warmer areas. Boundary would appear to be Ulster
