Absolutely desperate scenes on the local news in NI tonight. Thousands of sheep and lambs are likely buried beneath 15 foot snow drifts across rural parts of Antrim and Down.

Sadly, most people will only worrie that the price of lamb will rise

snowing small bit here

I propose a minor rearrangement of the British Isles for the next couple of weeks. We can put it back to normal in May. What do you think?

SNOWING IN DROGHEDA!

The wind chill is a killer out there. I could feel it burn off a layer or two of skin. Felt like i just had a face lift.

talk of us missing spring, that would be devastating too alot of businesses and home heating bills. Enda may have to raid our savings account after all.

Dublin 4 has been quite dry, with the breeze and low humidity i got 8 loads of washing dry (met should advise on clothes drying days. Wife thought I was mad putting them out. Who's mad now?)

Alot of people were 'calling' winter.... Well I'm calling spring. It's over, nothing to see here, see you all next year.

They do from time to time. They mentioned it in yesterday's (or maybe Sat?) online forecast.

Did the previous "snow story" not teach you anything about shovelling snow?;)

Bitterly cold over the past few days but there feels like a "difference" in the cold today. Gerry may very well be correct:)

Few flakes just started to fall in Dublin city centre (Tara street) very light at the moment but who knows might intensify

Light snow blowing around in the wind in trinity college

Not looking good at the moment. The atmosphere still looking well capped particularly to eastern England with a big large sheet of SC.

The Irish Sea looks slightly more cobbled with perhaps more chance of seeing some convection kick off but still very much restricted.

I do notice perhaps a light shower into Co. Down at the moment.

Still disappointing considering the flow and upper temperatures, the CAP is to be steadily eroded in the coming days however.

Hi WC,

May I ask what the CAP is ?

adamstown1

Tiny little white grains in the wind...lucan, dublin

Mech1

More tiny snow pellets in Monkstown Dublin

Not

There was a heavy burst of graupel on the M50 at Ballymount about 25 minutes ago. It was dancing over the surface like a ghostly white curtain floating along, but at 3.5 degrees, not really a chance of sticking.

No snow, sleet or graupel here

Beginning to be a bit more than snizzle now, photo is not the best but it's snow.

In layman's language,it means,the convection is going but,the level the cloud tops can rise from it is capped by the sc cloud layer above it.
They could go higher,then heavier showers but they can't,their climb is 'capped'.

The radar has pepped up quite a bit, pbly coinciding with the colder uppers moving in. Hope that things may get more interesting than many of us first thought. Am suprised the Southeast is so quiet

Agreed some nice convection building, here's hoping it intensifies and we see a nice bit of snow, even a light dusting.

Snowing lightly here in D11
