Latest GFS is progging 850Ts of -7 on Friday evening and night for Canty, which is cold enough for snow to sea level (assuming there are any showers about still at that time). The coldest part of the main event is on Thursday morning when the precip is stopping, around -5.5 to -6, which would put snow to about 300m.

Well who knows Snow lover only time will tell.
I think Potentials are Thursday morning maybe but Friday with the blast of even colder air could see some snow to sea level.
However Could completly take us by surprise in any way .
Will someone please do a snow dance .
Cheers
