    Just travelling through the east of the city on the way in to work - the shower started as sleet then turned to snow for about 5 minutes, then back to sleet again - great to see - bodes well for later on!
  2. SnowJon
    Yes - now snowing in Belfast!
  3. SnowJon
    just had a snow shower in Bangor !

    Snowing moderately here at sea level! Great to see sticking lightly to most surfaces as well
  5. SnowJon
    Some stunning cloudscapes out there right now - looks like doomsday!

    Getting very dark in Belfast - there are thunderstorms about this afternoon - will one of them hit here?

    I can't believe I missed today's storm in Bangor! Damn working in Belfast!! The Mrs tells me the rain was unbelievable with a few rumbles of thunder - the heaviness of the rain was the main feature she said. My weather station recorded a rainfall rate of 144mm/hr !
  8. SnowJon
    Yes starting to get dark here again - I can't hear any thunder though
  9. SnowJon
    Yep just the 2 here - not good enough!!

    Flash of lightning and rumble of thunder in Belfast - just the one so far!
  11. SnowJon
    The rainfall radar looks interesting for something in the next hour or so - might break up before it gets here but fingers crossed!

    I believe Bangor has just got a direct hit from a thunderstorm - so the Mrs tells me and my Dad rang as well to let me know! Nothing here in Belfast City centre

    Almost constant thunder for the last 5 minutes - incredible!
  14. SnowJon
    Thunder in Bangor and torrential rain!
  15. SnowJon
    Heavy rain here in Bangor and now it has cleared there are booms and rolls of thunder in the distance - about 1 clap every 20 seconds or so!
  16. SnowJon
    Next time watcher!

    It didn't seem that dangerous - the Bloody Bridge walk is pretty straightforward and there was no real ice on the path. We didn't think we'd get to the summit actually - we have tried before in the snow but usually your feet just sink right through the snow and it takes way too much effort, but the snow was really hard packed this time and relatively easy to walk on. Going down was absolutely brilliant - the easiest way down was sliding on your bum - it was really fun and surprisingly fast The avalanche warnings were for another area of the Mournes, so I didn't feel too nervous - really weird to see avalanche warnings in Northern Ireland!

    Some pics from a hike up the Bloody Bridge River to the summit of Slieve Donard in the Mournes on Saturday: Frozen waterfall: This is the Mourne Wall which is about 5ft high just before the final climb to the top of Donard - I have never seen the snow this deep here before - the wall is just about visible -normally you have to climb up 5 or 6 steps on the style to get over the other side of the wall, but the snow was so deep you could just walk over the top! : A pic of my brother taking a pic - shows the blue sky nicely : The summit of Donard - the Mourne Wall should be visible here but the snow has completely buried it - incredible scenes - I reckon a depth of about 1.5m here !! : The intrepid explorers : Barney surveys the Kingdom of Mourne:

    Su - I was in the mournes yesterday - hiked to the top of the highest mountain Slieve Donard. The snow up there is the deepest I've seen in the mournes - the Mourne Wall is actually completely buried at the top so there must be around 1.5m of level snow! Will post some pics here later

    Light snow here in Bangor - proper snow this time and not the wet stuff from yesterday!!
  21. SnowJon
    This is the snow up in Craigantlet and one pic of the snow in my front garden to show the patheticness of it!
  22. SnowJon
    Thats just mental - there's next to nothing here - I'm over the other side of town near Ballyholme. I took a wee drive up to Craigantlet - the snow depths are amazing up there - I got a pic of the church up there with the snow level up to the bottom of the windows and covering the bottom half of the door!
  23. SnowJon
    That's not Bangor is it? Very little here at all - just a dusting on the grass!
  24. SnowJon
    Not much to report in Bangor - still blowing a gale with moderate sleety snow but no real accumulations here - just some slushy deposits
  25. SnowJon
    If we are getting snow in Bangor from this second pulse - you will definitely see snow in Antrim in the next hour or so!
