No unfortunately not. Turning white here at sea level.

Parked up above carrickmore looking west to Donegal. That huge shower is movingly east. Great view watching the snow line moving across the country. Looks like the the white walkers on the march!

At the minute it’s open but it’s a struggle to keep it operational I’m told. I’m supposedly working tonight if I get in so will know more then but their warning has been updated from earlier and this evening does not look very good at all!! 

If it’s the international you’re flying into I’m literally sitting on an easyJet plane from Liverpool waiting on departure. Just boarded. Seems to be ok.

Heavy hail shower there now which is has given a good covering. Very fine dry powder snow now. 

[Nqp15h]

Same here, showers seem to start as hail and transition to snow.

Not sure why, as it is not marginal anymore.

This approaching squall looks almost apocalyptic.2

Ground white here after that good shower band next one coming in. 

[Sperrin]

Just came into carrickmore, at least 4-5 inches of snow. I live a bit higher up too so can't wait to see there!

[Neiller22]

Tomorrow’s low a tiny bit more south. I expect all of Northern Ireland to be included in warning area  by tomorrow I would guess

Great news! 

[Nqp15h]

We don't want the low going too far south.

Why? It'll make the event less marginal and 2m temperatures lower so more snow falls to low levels

[Nqp15h]

Because I want the heavy precipitation to reach my area. It could end up hitting Fermanagh only!

[mountain shadow]

SomeSome more pics. Carryduff really has its own Belfast micro climate.

[Sperrin]

Total white out here with showers lining up to come in. This is the best snow I've seen in years!

[Sperrin]

Drifting already building up against walls etc.

[mountain shadow]

Full on blizzard here now

 

 

[Juuyoku]

Car accident at Owenbeg before the GAA pitch on the Dernaflaw side. Saw a gritter nearly write off some cars at the Hass road in Dungiven as it slide down the brae and I'm late for work. It's been an eventful hour 

[carboncowboy75]

Whiteout here again

[Neiller22]

Full on blizzard here! This is just brilliant. 

[BIG LAD]

snow really building up here. showers seem to be getting heavier and  wind really blowing it about. could be some big totals in places by morning.

[Sparky72]

Looks like east is definitely best place to be. Anyone any ideas what's the chances for lying snow over here in the west or are the showers to die out? Currently very green looking!

[Sperrin]

The big question is, has @Rocheydub's snow shield been breached???
