was it only yesterday I said Co Down .. get ready for Snow ???

[snowydog]

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?

[Neiller22]

Well bbc newsline had the snow stooped at 7pm !! So it will snow all night in that case! Maybe just another SHOWER!

[mountain shadow]

Who knows Snowydog. Still coming down plenty.

Tomorrow morning will be fun and games.

[Cavehill Snow]

sleet/wet snow all day tuned to snow in Dunmurry about 6:30pm - been on & off since and is about 3.5 inches now - so much better (less drippy) snow than last Friday. If it had been colder during day we would have had some fall. Still well pleased with tonight.

[be cause]

just been for a spin to see some snow .. an inch at the top of Rehaghy mountain..170m .. even made a snowball .. so be glad of what you have .!!

Disaster! The local pub has closed for the night because of the weather. We went out for a walk in the snow and a dram and it's shut. On the way down the hill met many disappointed people out on the same mission. Amazing sights outside, and its still snowing.

Now snowing in Derry and lying!! Lol! Can't take these ups and downs anymore!

I think I know the pub you're talking about .... Would be so cosy on a night like this. I used to go there quite a bit.

[BIG LAD]

snow stopped now and left a patchy covering. temp 0.5c. a touch colder and it could have been epic.

[mountain shadow]

Still snowing over 15 hours since it started, I tried posting some Pics but it wouldn't let me.

Had some fun in the snow tonight! It stopped snowing around an hour and a half ago or so ago but has just started to sprinkle down again.

Are yous resizing the pictures so that Netweather will support them. I resize my pics to around 800x400 then attach them. Should work fine.

[cue_killar]

Well I found out netweather had its own gallery. Was uploading them all to my own site previously and wondered why they never showed as thumbnails. /do'h I had no problem uploading mine but I took them on my blackberry so they were only small pics.

The snow right now is heavy again giant flakes falling!

[The watcher]

rain and sleet here all day. good to hear some exceptional falls not far away. Wonder if it'll change to snow here at all.

Awh that's about a mins drive from me. I'm just on up the Ballygowan Road on left after power station. I know a few steep hills aroun the carriageway area. Think I have an idea of where you mean.

There's quite a few of us in a miles radius. Very cool.

Snowing here still. I'm on a steep hill too so car is abandoned at the bottom and no cars have been venturing down my street.

Exciting. Loving this.

Ill stick a few pictures up once I'm on the laptop. Just on the mobile right now but about to watch a movie so will get some loaded up if I can figure it out.

Let's see if that worked ..

That was this evening at about 8.15 or so ... attempted to get up the hill, but got a new car and it's an automatic and I struggled - I'm normally a very competent and confident driver ... Edited January 22, 2013 by snowydog

-5.9C at Gurteen at 6 am this morning. Visibility 0 m in freezing fog.

[SnowJon]

Heavy sleet here this morning leaving a slushy mess on grass and cars - road just wet!

[skywatcher]

Well, I can't hear any traffic moving. Don't know what overnight temp was (sensor disappeared from garden) though now circa 1C according to xc's reading for Aldergrove . Cloud overhead and radar shows ppn on its way. More snow? Looks as if the main body of it is going to the north of Belfast this time.
