    All green here in Donegal Town. Wind still strong with severe gusts. Looking at the radar ( if it can be trusted more than yesterday ) it's about to get very wet again.

    Lots of disruption in the North already.
    I'm sure the Russians will be very amused if tonight's WC qualifier is called off by what they would consider to be a light snowfall.

    The Met services of both jurisdictions seem to have been bang on with the scale and spread of the snowfall

    Handy website for looking at belfast:

    Seems to be a decent plastering of snow. Sandyknowles cam would be the highest in terms of altitude.

    Walking home last night at about 1230 and the conditions were atrocious, sleet and snow coming down heavy and starting to stick, there was about a cm of slush, very messy. Power flickered quite a few times. Was expecting to see everywhere covered when I awoke this morning but it's gone, lots of excess water. Quite surprised as we live in an area of south armagh that usually gets snow if there's any around. Hoping it stays off tomorrow for my sisters wedding, as it'll make travelling difficult.

    Some nice big flakes falling. My electric went off after 4am. Hope the Russia v N Ireland match will be on later.

    Heaviest snow so far in blizzard like conditions on the coast.

    Derryveagh mountains were covered this morning and there was a good bit of snow on the road but disappeared to nothing by the time I reached Letterkenny

    hard to believe that Northern Ireland is covered in snow, just crappy cold rain in the republic. Once again the snow totally favours the UK as if it reachs the border and magically turns to rain as soon as it hits counties Cavan, Monaghan and Louth:)

    Dear God you really are never satisfied. I love how you've totally forgotten the almost 3 inches we had here in Meath just a few days ago.

    Very rare in late March. Who the hell wants a wet frigid blizzard when it's almost April? These are absolutely awful conditions for agriculture and wildlife in general.

    I was refering to the situation right now! not taking into account what we had during the week which unfortunately I missed out on the best part of it. And we could see some snow over the next week but really I dont mind if we get it or not because it's time to move on, Ive already switched on my summer mode.

    I would be confident about rain turning to snow in north Leinster and any parts of Ulster in that situation, shortly after dark, as the upper support for snow is moving south overnight. By morning it is likely to be snowing almost as far south as Drogheda to Longford and then with some variations due to daytime heating this trend will continue south all day Saturday. Look for some heavy overnight accumulations in Monaghan and Cavan, maybe not as heavy for Louth, Meath and Westmeath but generally in the 5-20 cm range.

    I almost given up hope for more snow in Donegal. Everything appears to miss us tonight

    Thanks again for your valued input MT. How far South do you think the precipitation will make or is it very difficult to say? Met Eireann have it for Ulster and East Leinster only tomorrow.

    Is this strictly in Northern Ireland or is there a chance of snow falling in Louth? I live in the Cooley Peninsula, not far from the border

    Proper snow now - Whiteout conditions. Electric keeps going off. Hope the Russia match will be on tomorrow but have my doubts.
