Weegaz

I would say our windiest day for quite a while, nothing compared to across the pond.....it's been quite interesting following the thread on it plus videos on Facebook and twitter. i saw someone note that the current hurricane formation was last seen in 2010.....a sign of things to come for us come December?????

Shows the scale of what's occurring. Parents holiday in Sarasota twice a year, there really keen to keep updated on events there. Incredible videos on Facebook and twitter the past few days.....thoughts are with those affected.

Sounds good ltl, hopefully in a few hours it'll be reaching us as snow, one final wee fall would finish the season for me

MET OFFICE YELLOW WARNING FOR SNOW AND ICE Showers on Monday evening, overnight and into Tuesday morning will fall increasingly as snow and hail, with accumulations mainly on hills but locally to lower levels too. Ice is also likely to form on untreated surfaces, whilst lightning may be an additional hazard. This may lead to some transport disruption and difficult driving conditions. Air of Arctic origin will bring frequent wintry showers across the area. 1 to 3 cm snowfall is likely across many areas above 100-200 m away from west-facing coasts whilst 5 cm or more is likely to settle above around 300 m. Showers will continue through Tuesday, though lying snow is expected to melt below 300 m or so.

Indeed breifman, some could get a wee flurry

Ni weather on Facebook have amber warning for winds due to the occurrence of a weather bomb.....most interesting day of weather coming up in a long while.....and it's not even snow

Weather warnings in force from MetO for Wednesday night into Thursday. Was surprised to see actually. Wind, rain and snow, a change from the norm this winter The rain seems to be the main concern

Was up on the roof of our new house there and can confirm we have really really light snow. It'll be the same next year Neiller and the year after and so on

Things certainly looking interesting.....I'm kind of over winter now and looking forward to brighter mornings and nights and looking forward to summer and sunshine

Victims of the 2017 Snow Blizzard Speak Out Some harrowing tales are emerging across the country this morning as the victims of the 2017 snow storm share their stories. The whole of Northern Ireland was thrown into chaos this morning as a shocking half a centimetre of snow fell overnight. Some residents were moved to temporary accommodation after a thin layer of snow settled on top of their wheelie bins. There were also reports of a human crush occurring at the automatic doors of ASDA in Dundonald as thousands of people rushed to stock up on milk, bread and tinned peaches. Wee Betty, 78, from Enler Park, who fractured eight ribs in the crush, told us, ‘I can’t close my cupboard doors as it is but I thought I’d get another sixteen tins of Spaghetti Hoops cos you never know how long this weather will last, do ye?’. Rescue services were called when flight attendant Simon Thompson stepped into a slushy puddle in his Uggs. Speaking from the Intensive Flair Unit of the Ulster Hospital, Simon told us, ‘Only outta the bax and they’re mongoosein’ ruined. Some big ambulance man left them to dry on a radiator over there’. Asked if he thought the Uggs would dry out ok, Simon said, ‘It’s just a waiting game nigh’. The conditions have caused mass disruption for those commuting to work, with attendances in the Civil Service being particularly affected. Jeremy Sloth, an Executive Officer in the Department of Finance and Personnel told us, ‘Our Friday attendances are even lower than usual. Approximately 75% of employees phoned in this morning and took a Snow Day’. When asked how this was likely to impact upon the department Mr Sloth replied, ‘It will affect us enormously. There’s no one free to do the soda run. mongoosein’ nightmare’. Many people took to social media this morning to show their solidarity with the victims of the snow blizzard with #wewillrebuild and #jesuisballfroze trending on Twitter.

Don't know where that wind just came from....seriously strong gusts here now

If the precipitation on the radar north of Scotland made us it would give some enjoyment

That wee blips for us jello

Amber snow warning from NI weather Facebook, details haven't been updated

MetO forecast has updated to show snow overnight and right up to lunch time tomorrow. With precipitation from a nnw direction I'm hoping is down the eastern side have something to look forward to tomorrow am

Is there any site that gives a wider range radar that anyone knows of?

Apparently it's been snowing here for 10 minutes, my wife wanted dinner sorted before she told me as it would have left for her to do

The angle almost looks like it goes slightly west of this side of the Lough mountain, but hopefully not. Would tie in with meto heavy snow at 8pm

Still a lot of precipitation to come

MetO forecast, if it is to be believed, shows overnight heavy showers for a period of hours. So far for my locations it has been accurate. As Bob mentioned, if winds turn more northerly it would help us down the east coast, especially if wind speeds increase. Its not over yet and looking cold through to Saturday mid morning. Edit:- Its showing the wind direction to change at around 8pm this evening to NW / NNW direction with a slight increase in speed

She'll be close mountain but looks like its gradually snowing out on radar Nothing has reached us in Crumlin yet either

By the radar....you will be getting it good soon Bob.....keep us updated.

Radar starting to look good.

I've never seen for my location MetO showing heavy snow symbols for 14 hrs continuous, would be nice all the same if it verified. Not much reporting of snow occurring this morning
