was up for an walk in sliabh beagh hills today. no snow but very cold, the higher lakes over 300mts were still partly frozen at 1.pm. could hazily see the mournes, antrim hillls and sperrins but didnt seem to be any snow on them. chance of some transitional snow tomorrow though.
Left Coleraine at 7.00am this morning, temp was +5. Was in Cookstown by 8.00am and it was -1!! 6 degrees difference over 42 miles!
It is below 0 here now though.

some snow last nite and further showers this morning and all day. some snow loss also today but all remaining snow froze solid. was out now and back roads have solid snow on them. few flakes still blowing about in biting wind.
was up in the sliabh beagh hills today and very little thaw above above 250mts over 4 inches of frozen snow at 350mts. lakes stilll froze solid. could see the southern sperrins and slieve gallion brilliant white. very wintry up there still.
Just flew back from Andorra. Covering on the high Mournes, but the Antrim Hills and Spreeins are still brilliant white, really beautiful. A bit less snow at sea level, but very icy. All the water troughs are frozen solid. Maybe 9 inches of ice!!!

Lowest my car thermometer read this morning was -11 @ Ballymoney
Today's high was -2 (35m above sea level, 3 miles from the coast)
Currently -8
There is snow lying on the beach in Portrush, I have heard reports of ice in the River Foyle, in L/ Derry
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Low of -12 in Coleraine last night!!!!
Tidal part of river Bann was partly frozen. Fresh water part of the river was completley frozen. (This is the first time I have ever seen this!!!!!!!!!)
Been skiing on the hills above coleraine today. Easily 2 ft of powder at 300m.
Nice one Johnboy,nothing like that down this neck of the woods
Is it worth the trip up?

coolhandluke,
Great conditions, but alot of hiking. I have a mate who works in the Forestry Service, so we could get better than usual access up the forestry tracks. He is also a Landrover enthusiast, so we drove a fair bit of the way until even the Landrover lost grip in the deep snow.
I would reckon the Antrim Plateau has as much, if not more.

johnboy, 2 foot, that's decent, I don't think the Liffey has frozen yet but I did see a picture in the paper today of someone ice fishing in the Midlands near my home parish!

Peter Ross,
Lough Fea is frozen solid. I know someone who got an old Corsa, put in 1st gear and set a block on the accelerator and it made it to the other side!!!!!!!!!!! Other folk have been riding quads across it. Was over at Derry City Airport today. Lough Foyle has ice around the shore and I'm told there is ice on the River Foyle. Didn't get flying as the General Aviation taxiways were frozen.
