Antrim has snow

 

[ronan]

Absolutely hammering down here now. Unreal

[gman144]

Slight covering on grass is my lot, more needed

[mountain shadow]

Zilcho making it this far South East. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Coming down rightly here now 

[Rocheydub]

Clear blue skies here. Not a cloud in sight. Beautiful day, but I'm well jealous looking at those pics. Enjoy it folks!

[Sperrin]

Finally the decent stuff has made it here

[bobbarley]

How long before an amber warning? That’s a lot of precipitation on its way and a lot of snow already on the ground!

[ronan]

That's definitely alot of snow on the way in by 4 O'Clock

I don't think there will be am amber. The heavy stuff doesn't really look like getting to the populated South East, so any disruption will be minimal I think.

Heavy stuff confined to the North Coast. Fizzling out as it moves South East

Don't give up. We got a decent dunking this morning in Carrickfergus so it might get a little further

Same everything fizzling out very light flurries so far and we normally do well in this type of setup all i can put it down to is the lack of wind.

A good fre centimetres here this morning with showers on and off all day so far. Another one just starting, radar looking good for later too.

A good heavy shower earlier and another one happening now. Must be a good 2-2.5 inches out there now. 

I have to pick the wife up from work at 8 she works up untreated roads could be an interesting drive looking at the radar.

Amazing that this is only 40 or so miles away. A different world.

So, this is a screen grab from the Met Office webpage for Carryduff taken at 13.45. As you can see it shows a heavy snow symbol for between 2pm and 3pm. The reality is that nothing has fallen from the sky. Now, we know that these automated forecasts are useless but the majority of the population trust them and make decisions based on them. They are dire. I mean it shows an 80% chance of snow and not a flake!

Yup, just cloud by the time it reaches me.

A feature of the Arctic blast this year is how open the isobars have been and lack of wind to drive the showers inland.

[gary1365]

It seems like a there's a bit of a thaw happening out there now. The trees etc have a lot of water dripping off them.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Another decent shower here atm

[Watsy]

Nice to see some folks getting a good covering. Not much round where I am but was up in Ballymoney earlier and it was snowing rightly and it made for beautiful scenery on the way back to Glengormley. There wasn't too much once I hit Antrim on the way back though, bit of a covering once I got back to Glengormley but that's all it was, very little depth to it.
