Was it not a mostly upland event across Ulster except for a few sheltered spots such as Newry?

Had a covering of snow in Letterkenny for each of the past three mornings, albeit some fairly pathetic amounts, think you definitely did better down that way for depth

Still a patchy covering this evening but just that horrible hardened stuff that's no good for anything

Just been up to 300m. There is still a decent covering of frozen snow up there.

No sign of any melting. In fact they should get up a top up tonight!



Hard packed snow on the road.







Anyone know what animal these paw prints fit to?

We normally do far better for snow. I don’t know what happened this time.

Maybe their eastern position removed the maritime influence?

I’m not sure why you’re so eager to find out where I live.

From my experience we rarely get more than 1-2cm of snow from the Atlantic, plenty heavy showers but usually of hail, we only tend to get snow once the vigorous convection has stopped and showers are starting to die out.

We definitely get more snow days on average than further south but for any meaningful depths I wouldn't say we do any better than most

Believe me nobody on this forum could care less as to where you live, but to post up photos of snow-clad hills and then give a glib `Ulster` as to their location is the height of bad manners,
Do you realise the size of Ulster? Northern Ireland plus Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal. Try and be a bit more informative about the location of where you post.
Don`t worry we won`t pass it on to the PSNI or the Guards!

He is like that, dont give him an inch he may call around for tea.
Anyway where is the photo from, not the exact location just say withing 100 meters.

I wish I hadn't given the names of the locations I was photographing, I am very worried now, someone might come along and start door-knocking 2,369 houses trying to find me.
