    Yep showers still piling in here, mostly hail though with a bit of snow mixed in. Quite a bit of accumulation on grass, against walls etc but for the most part nothing is sticking for long. Should be a decent covering higher up by now though

    A good days worth of weather here anyway, easily the most interesting day all month. It went pretty much as I expected, mostly hail with snow during heavier showers but with little accumulation. Wasn't too bothered with anything lying anyway, I love these sort of days watching ominous looking showers on the horizon and the sudden change from bright and sunny to dark and stormy with heavy hail. Hopefully similar scenes ahead during the spring :)

    How high up are you? I'm sure the hills will be alive with snow in the morn

    About 90m according to earthtools, I can see the Derryveagh mountains in the distance from down the road, the lying snow level was around 250m back in the December events so assuming its even lower this time there should be a good covering tomorrow

    Yeah I say snowline could be around the 150m-200m mark.

    Jeez I,d have to go up if I was there, lovely flakes.:D

    Just realised your at sea level on east coast of Antrim.

    It does, your probably sheltered from the north westerly flow on the other side, so warmer sea effect does not influence you so much.
    Unlike Harps he would have a stronger low level warmer air coming off the sea affecting his chances and so as it cross land the air cools down.

    Just taking a look now at the whole of Ireland, I'm sure those showers making it in towards the Midlands are fairly wintry and higher ground in the south west.

    Yeah temperatures rarely drop below zero in a NW flow around here, its been hovering between 1.5C and 2C since 6pm here, dew point around 0C throughout. I'd say a lot of the showers here would fall as snow if we were 50 miles further from the coast to lessen the affect of the Atlantic mixing, they'd be much weaker by that stake obviously so its a no win situation really. Even during the extreme northerly last December we only had hail & graupel showers on the first night with the strong wind, once it slackened we got over 25cm of proper snow in 15 hours!

    Great to see the showers still piling up, there's gonna be alot of white hills up there in the morn.
    And to be fair, as good as our own radar is, Let's call a spade a spade, it's utter rubbish for your location. Really could do with that Belfast one on board for the website, not going to happen but sure we'll struggle on.

    Total non event here apart from the odd snow shower. Hills dont even have a speck of snow on them while they had 5 inches of snow on them during December.
    Got more of a covering from the snow showers two weeks ago than yesterday.

    There was brief coverings, and some lower level accumulations like the poster in Antrim stated.

    Anyway I think were done here, roll on the Heatwave Summer.
