Yes I'm in Bangor and the snow is still coming down thick and fast - I'd guess about 2cm depth so far covering all surfaces- 803 replies

Persistent graupel and snow here at the moment with a covering on the grass, cars and rooves. These unexpected snowfalls are always the best!- 803 replies

Looks like a proper streamer developing now - it would be great if stays on that track - somewhere near here could get a lot of graupel/snow out of that!- 803 replies

Fascinating drive home to Bangor from Belfast there - the road down was like a Winter Wonderland with a blizzard thrown in - snow blowing about all over the place, but as I arrived in Bangor, the snow cover got less and less until I got home and there is none here at all! Hopefully there will be some settling now it's dark and it looks like a heavier burst is about to hit us on the coast- 803 replies

Having driven into work from Bangor to Belfast, it was mostly rain in Bangor but full on sleety snow around Cultra, then back to rainy sleet in Belfast, so it's getting closer!- 803 replies

Thanks Steve - likewise - great to have your input here! I live in Bangor - on the coast in County Down so hopefully we are in that sweet spot even though we are a coastal location!

Warning now upgraded to amber folks: Rain will turn increasingly to sleet and then snow at all levels across Northern Ireland during the course of Friday afternoon and evening, with some places receiving accumulations of 5-10 cm of snow overnight into Saturday and as much as 15-20 cm above 200 metres, with drifting in the strengthening east to northeasterly winds. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ni/ni_forecast_warnings.html
