As I'm sure you have all seen it is pretty wild out there. My normal route, Craigantlet Hills, is closed on both sides to Dundonald and East Belfast. Also a number of traffic lights not working, which is adding to traffic problems.

Also a number of small bump accidents due to the weather being witnessed, so my advice is unless your journey is VITAL, please stay at home.

    Mixture of snow/sleet/rain/hail in Coleraine. Can't decide what it wants to do. But yeah, the wind is rather on the strong side :eek:

    Trust me to take my eye off the ball with regards to the heating oil - flipping ran out last night resulting in a 9pm dash to a filling station to get an emergency can.

    Fortunately our suppliers were able to deliver this morning.

    I honestly feel this is the worst weather since last winter. We've even lit our fire today for the first time ever in daylight hours.
