Wow impressive stuff here in Castlereagh Hills. Had to abandon car at bottom of my steep hill...no chance of a run up seeing as you have to turn into it. Also a number of cars have been abandoned so too dangerously anyways. Fun times. Is that us for the night then? Heavy snow?- 803 replies

Well - That was fun while it lasted ... never really got a good sense of the cold ... yeh it was cold enough to snow, but it thawed pretty quickly .. (albeit Friday it lay until Saturday midday) ... Different feeling to it - not the usual real cold I'd expect to experience with a cold spell as such .. Not sure if today will bring anymore but at the minute it's raining/sleeting - not a good sign .. Btw, I'm in North Belfast at the minute at work (Behind yorkgate), but I live up Castlereagh Hills - hoping the reported snow in Carryduff heads to my house, so I can get up home and enjoy it Today has a bit of a feel like Friday - miserable, slushy, wet, sleety morning - hoping for some heavy snow later, though I doubt it!- 803 replies

Roads out of Belfast are bad. I came up castlereagh and newtownards roads. Slippy with the slush on road. Castlereagh hills completely covered. Looking forward to waking up tomorrow. Have to take sis into town for a concert. Gonna be fun. Left my big winter jacket in cafe next to work. All in all, not a great start to the weekend. Just glad there's snow though.- 803 replies
