I went to look outside there and my bedroom window is plastered in snow lol! Looked out from the back of the house instead. No mad accumulations here yet but the snow is going sideways. Wind still howling!

[The Eagle]

Belfast appears to be getting a good covering on the traffic cameras.

Attrocious conditions here, sideways heavy snow.

[mountain shadow]

Had about 5cm overnight however that appears to be it for now as the front has cleared NI.

So Met Office wrong as per.

[somofagun]

Bearly q xovering here. Rubbish

[booferking]

Round 2 will commence in about 1hr chill out and will last into Saturday afternoon this is when we get the real snow..

Still very heavy snow here on north coast, only 3-4 cm lying on higher ground must be really deep

[mountain shadow]

I suppose Boofer, was hoping for a day off work.

Still heavy snow at the end of March.

[Sparky72]

Kept awake all night by crazy strong wind. Would have liked some snow, but hey ho it was never forecast to make it this far. A bit of heavy rain today me thinks. Just hope the roof stays on!

[johnny1972]

Nothing here in donaghadee. Just 70mph winds, rain and hail. It's been the same all winter like I said. A complete non event. Good luck to ones with snow

[mountain shadow]

Intermittent power cuts, very stormy.

[cue_killar]

Just about got up the hill home. Very slushy and cold and my feets are wet

[Neiller22]

Fair play to Roger! he called rain during the day.. It was raining going throgh carryduff and glengormley this morning! and they have elevation. Complete damp sqid by met office! this was my fear yest as i didnt think there would be that much! 30cms! get real

[mountain shadow]

Snow back on in Carryduff now Neiller.

[Matty M]

Snow back on in Carryduff now Neiller.

If that is falling as snow then you could get some fair totals in next few hours, radar looks good for ye, thought the temp might be getting marginal but see you have a nice 130metres.

[Neiller22]

Think it may just be hills that get affected from now till tomorrow. No idea were they got 10-15 cms on low ground. However there was bout two-3 inches going through saintfield and carryduff. A bit of elevation must help. Though saintfield is only bout 80 metres ASL.?

[snowydog]

Quite a bit of snow here in Castlereagh but it's kinda raining at the minute. Really hope it turns to snow soon, don't want the rain to wash away all the snow we have :-/

[mountain shadow]

Im stuck in traffic at four winds Snowy, its all snow.

[skywatcher]

Reading through some of the posts I thought I was in the wrong thread! It's snowing heavily here in Four Winds, wind gusting it sideways at times. It seems to have been snowing all night and it's going strong. Atrocious conditions. inches and inches of snow. Anyone know if the trains are running? Bad luck, MS. I can see the side roads and they're all but impassable. I can only imagine what the crossroads at Four Winds itself is like - even more elevation than here and more traffic attempting the journey.

[skywatcher]

On the BBC website - 28,000 people in NI without electricity because of the storm last night.

[SnowJon]

Very slushy deposits on the ground here in Bangor with a bit of light rain falling - wind still blowing a gale!

[Harsh Climate]

Judging by the latest radar some of you guys in northern ireland are about to get hammered :0 enjoy

[Baltic Regions]

Just saw the radar..... Dear God! f that continues as snow better get back to your homes folks.

My in laws are without power and cant light the fire without the pump on. Might be going up to get them down to ours for heat and food. Fire lit and heating on as power has been fluctuating (Was all soaped up in the shower and it cut out! Came back on though in a few minutes. Maybe too much info but there you go!).

Good luck guys!

[SnowJon]

Sleety snow starting to fall here again just now!!

[mountain shadow]

Incredible scenes in Four Winds, white out conditions.
