According to the BBC forecast i just watched the snow has stopped.

Nope.

[cue_killar]

The snow! Falling nice and strong and setting everywhere, Hope this keeps up for the rest of the night.

[markok]

mad the way the eastern NI is getting blasted with snow and dublin getting nothing.

[sponge bob]

Apart from a gentle flurry earlier today which lasted all of 10 mins I have seen no snow in Galway this winter and long may that last.

Metoffice where are u. so much snow in ni. Niw have had an amber warning out all day.

[mountain shadow]

Crazy snowfall now, massive flakes. 20cm plus.

[skywatcher]

Hugely impressive snowfall out there, much more so than Friday. Needless to say, there's traffic chaos. Where's this going to end, looking at the radar, as it keeps coming. For sure, the Skywatchers aren't going out tonight, though not from choice. The lying snow readings from Casement make painful reading in contrast. There does seem to be some activity heading towards Dublin. Perhaps something tonight if temps/dp fall?

Lol MS, those are some size of flakes! Glad you're getting some. We haven't had much in the way of fresh snow today by the looks of things although the streets are still a nightmare to get through with the snow still lying very thick. Work in Antrim and it's a completely different world, hardly a pick of snow to be seen.

FYI for people in Belfast - www.translink.co.uk - list of transport cancellations. Twitter feed providing additional information.

snowing most of the day here again but only starting to stick this last half hour. everything white now. was out in village of corcaghan [200m asl] earlier before the snow started and there was at least 6 inches. high ground round here has been plastered. very marginal though. temp now down to 0.4c.

[norn iron]

Finally got some snow in Moira!

[mountain shadow]

Just went out for a bracing walk. Lovely it was, will try and upload pics later.

Snow starting to ease

[Neiller22]

Chucking down in Saintfield again after 30 min respite. Still havnt left work! It's soo deep here!

[gingercat]

And oddly enough we have rain here!!

[Neiller22]

I love the headline on bbc Northern Ireland news "Roads affected by heavy snow showers" !!! Well if a snow shower lasts for ten hrs which it has in Saintfield I would love to know their definition of " PROLONGED SNOW"!! We would all be extinct by now!! Crazy statement from a very poor forecast by them! Havnt had snow like this in years. Beats Fridays hands down!

[mountain shadow]

Its quality Neiller.

Unforecast snow is always the best.

SKY signal has gone.

[Neiller22]

It is indeed mountain shadow. Quality snowfall. Another very shower heading down towards you now I think as well

[norn iron]

Is that a streamer forming?

[mountain shadow]

Getting mullered again. This is now becoming something special.

Streamers still coming.

[Neiller22]

Told u mountain shadow!!

[mountain shadow]

Incredible stuff. If what i can see out my window doesnt warrant an orange warning i dont know what does.

Im going to need a bigger spade.

[ronan]

So jealous!! Lol! Please send some this way! It's been raining ages now and temps sitting at 1 degree! Totally gutted! Lol

[Beaufort12]

Snowing since 4 here in eastern donegal albeit very very light for the majority of time. About an inch outside on the grass and the road is getting white now. Other parts of donegal have a decent lair I've just been unfortunate where I'm at. Didn't expect this,looking at the radar it's a narrow band moving directly East to West,long may it continue
