Superb shower atm. Everything white.

Whattt?? I'm in North Belfast - Literally 10mins from East ... I live in East though - up Castlereagh Hills so yayyy here's hoping! 

[BornFromTheVoid]

The radar show another shower coming in the next 5 minutes. The temp is now 1.8C, so hopefully this one will be mainly snow.

Snow not sticking in Belfast City Centre but is up on the hill in Carryduff.

It is indeed MS. Has been snowing last 20 mins in Castlereagh hills and it is def starting to lie. Another shower incoming.

[mountain shadow]

To my untrained eye the showers appear to be packing in a bit more tightly and forming into bands rather than individual showers. Hopefully things will start to pick up soon and with the sun setting will start to lay at lower and lower levels.

You beat me to it MS. Things definitely pepping up.a bit on the radar.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Interesting warnings out for Saturday and Sunday too. We could be getting our fill (hope I haven't jinked it)

[Weegaz]

Another really heavy shower here now....showers seem to be merging giving good heavy falls.  Tomorrow again is starting to look interesting.

 

MetO have been pretty spot on so far in terms of timings. 

 

I think things will pick up rightly Mountain Shadow as sun sets.  Settling snow will decrease temps again.

I think I jinksed it by buying a sledge for the wains yesterday!!

[BornFromTheVoid]

Just sleet again, plenty more on the way though. Could be a long evening/night!

[Juuyoku]

A couple of moderate showers have passed through here in the past hour. A wee skiffle lying in the grass!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Remember folk's the fun starts from 5pm apparently

*Isn't envious at all*

Ok, so here I am on my day off, religiously watching the radar, hoping that some showers may blow over from Ireland, past Wales and into Oxford.

I know it's a long shot, but can everyone in this thread go outside and blow the showers South East so they make it here?

Pleeeaaaseeee.

The last shower left a little more snow but its turning into slush already. After dark should produce something better.

This is now!

 

Oh yeh I remember you from a few years ago - you live a few streets away from me ... Hoping for lots more when I get home at 7.30

Holy crap...don't think iv seen a blizzard this intense in my lifetime. Didn't expect the wind to be so strong. Within 15 mins it has drifted up the window sill to glass level.

The start of good things to come?

Good stuff! Hopefully that will be the case for us all in the next few hours! Just had the heaviest hail shower of the day, winds really gusty during the shower!

[The Weather Watcher]

Just after a very hefty sno shower here, went very dark then all of a sudden bright white outside due to it beginning to lye. Stopped now and melted again but heaviest snow shower since 2010.

Hold your phone long ways when taking pic and that will sort it.

And an hour later..

[ronan]

Snowing away here now. Trying to stick but very wet out.

[Sperrin]

Apocalyptic snow shower incoming! Great stuff.

[Sparky72]

Got home from work to find a good dusting of snow. Most I've seen all day
