Driving towards Dungannon and the snow is falling. Could this be a record year for snowfall after all the rain.
Fair bit in the Down area.
snowin in jokerstown
It's not the first snow of the year... sure it snowed in January. :P
Supposed to be snowing in Glenshane, Lurgan, Newry and Armagh! It's not even November!!
Was a bit of snow in Belfast earlier
Nothing worth talking about

Hit 28c here today with a clear sky...
Not usual to see snow back home this early in the season though. Sign of a cold winter ahead?
You aren't in Australia by any chance? Heading out for first time next month for a holiday
snowing in preston earlier on
Its a cold bastard of a day, as an aul man beside ours once said, " You wouldnt put a fox out of Hen house a day like that"
Snowing hard in the Brum but not sticking. The Brummies worrying if the buzzes will be running. ::)
I was just about to say its snowing here in Rugby too. Not sticking though. All trains cancelled I would imagine though :D

They are cancelling trains all over the shop, the friday before last there was a bit of a shower at 5 and they had the cheek to blame the "inclement weather" for the network chaos. London Midland are a joke.
Its snowing in Middletown, NJ today
I've no snow :(

Morton Island is very good.
I did the day trip when there.
Yeah, I've heard of Morton Island, mate I'm staying with in Brisbane mentioned it, I'll have a go at that
Well what is the story around the country todays regards the snow. In dungannon it is causing trouble with some roads blocked with stranded cars.
Heavy snow in Carricknacross, Co Monaghan. Roads pretty bad, no word on news bulletins or AA road watch. The car slid across the road on me as I turned into office after lunch. As bad as I've seen in few years, if it freezes on that the roads will be death traps. Looks like the council have been caught off guard ::)
Rough round south Armagh.

Good to see good honest snow :D
Can anyone tell me what the snow's like around Monaghan? Need to travel from Belfast to Monaghan on my own later on and won't bother if it's dangerous (car isn't much use in wintry weather).

As i said, its bad round Carrick. My car slid at lunch and one of girls cars turned 360 on a hill. Its parked there now, no sign of road gritters out. As usual the side roads will prob be in bad nick, i would imagine the Keady/Armagh roads to Blayney/Monaghan would be bad. Snow has stopped now for first time since 10am this morning. It was giving a 0 degrees temp in car about half hour ago.
The wife down in Monaghan town at minute and said its snowing but waiting on her ring back to see if she got back to Blayney ok.
Thebandit should be able to give an update on the Blayney weather.

Thanks - heading to the Hillgrove for a meeting tonight and sounds like it might be best avoided. Let me know what your wife thinks of Monaghan town.

She thinks its great but I keep telling her its a dump ;)
Spoke to the brother there who is next down to the hillgrove. Its thawning out a bit (same here) but I don't think it is going to beat the night freeze. He said the roads where just ok but would only get worse as evening kicks in. It is supposed to rain to clear the snow/slush on roads but no sign of it yet. I'd avoid the trip if you could - the Armagh-Monaghan road isn't the best on a summers night.
4 feet of snow in NYC last year and everything goes on as normal
4 cms of snow in armagh and the county comes to a standstill lol
God I miss Ireland
Blayney was a terra earlier on, I couldn't get my car up a hill and we had our lorries off the road for a couple of hours earlier, slushy as hell now - which is nearly worse.
