Unreal amounts of snow in Newtownabbey. Reminds me very much of the winter storm ten years ago that brought so much snow with it.

Rochey’s Snow Shield has been by own up by the winds and is currently in full force in mid Co. Antrim ?
The only consolation we have is that we wont have to endure the pain of seeing it melt in a few days time lol

It’s gone again!! It’s almost like it’s too cold to snow properly!

Today it said. Weather warning was updated

Now heavy snow forecast for Belfast as per Met Office! Very nowcasting

I think they are trying to say that although it will be cold, we aren’t going to see any snow.

I’m prob not far from you Gingercat. I’m working in North Belfast - just down from Cavehill but I live up over the back of cavehill in Mallusk.
The roads in my area were bad this morning and the hightown Road was dodgy also - normally with a lift dusting overnight that road isn’t too bad with the grit and other cars - but I suspect gritting wasn’t done until early hours of this morning after it snowed as it’s on top of the snow and as it was so cold this morning the back road just froze solid - wasn’t even slushy with the cars. Probably ok now.
Took my car a while to defrost enough to let the windscreen wipers move - snow that fell turned to solid ice.
Hi Snowydog yes you’re very near me! I work in N Belfast too but live near Carnmoney Village. It’s always treacherous up round there and on the Hightown Rd. I wouldn’t fancy the Horseshoe Bend in this weather! Stay safe xo

I personally just scroll past the usual suspects or there's the ignore button.
Thanks for the tip! I will make use of the ignore button.
N Belfast / SE Antrim here, a light dusting this morning. Nothing too exciting!

Hopefully past that now gingercat, would be great to have you contributing with photos of snow and updates from your location and your views on weather going forward.
Thanks Weegaz

Well I think I’m going to stop stopping by this thread. I know I don’t contribute a lot but the tone has turned very sour by certain people. Sad really.
