I'll definitely need to stay safe tonight if it is still lying. Have deliveries for the local indian restaurant.

Looking at the radar I will be literally the last person in Ireland to see flakes  

[Rocheydub]

Sleet here, not sticking, we’re away to higher peaks for fun!!!

[Juuyoku]

Picking up a bit here too, whiteout really but still small powdery flakes. Pics don't really do the drifting justice.

Went outside there and its like a scene from siberia. This might sound silly but its very different snow to our usual north westerlies. Anyway latest observations show over 6 inches in sheltered spots, more in deepest drifts.

Great photos and videos.....you guys are getting hammered up there......I went to bed at 1am here and roads, grass, cars everything was white with a blizzard raging .....temp had dropped from 3 degrees to 0 in biting wind....as expected woke up to green grass and sleety rain with temp back up to 3 degrees ....got about 4 hours of snow though when models were just giving sleet for my area so can't complain......on to the next chase ha

I wonder if there is something wrong with the Castlederg station. It recorded heavy snow for 5 6 7 8 9am reports yet it didn't register snow accumulations until 8am. I'm to the West of there but had a couple of cm when I woke at 5.30am. 

8am had 3cm

9am 6cm.

I’m not far from castlederg and can confirm nothing really started settling until about 7am with me.

Claudy getting a good hammering now, traffic has slowed way down.

Amazing conditions here this morning. Snow isn't overly heavy but this is as close to Iceland as I'll get this year. Proper Blizzard conditions

Still snowing light and it has left the ground wet. Hoping it doesn't turn into a slush fest.

Traffic has pulled over where the roadworks are as they can't get up the winding parts. The bus has powered on though

Typical bus drivers,  you would be safer turning around and going home!

Tiny skiff here, you can still see the black tar of the drive it’s that light, has snowed a good hour now to but tiny flakes

[hamba]

Very powdery snow which gets blown all over the place here, its like white dust being blown around 

[The Weather Watcher]

Just to show how bad meto can be, they are showing light rain for my area now until 11am, yet it is moderate snow. 

[Ever Hopeful]

Coming down here now - Carrickfergus - Radar showing lots more coming in. Just starting to lie. Threw some bread out for the blackbirds - the resident spaniel is disgusted
