Snow, Snow and more Snow in Co Antrim

It had to come one day. Not usual that we get much snow (if at all) in December. we usually get it in March!

Anyway, a very cold pool of air is sitting over Northern Ireland and it has been snowing on and off for 4 days now.

Up in Ballymena, Broughshane and the Ballyclare area there has been over 10 inches of snow now. This is an astonishing amount considering our proximity to the Gulf Stream and general milder air.

Anyway, I took the opportunity to take some images today before the Collin Summit got snowed up again. Images taken at around 1000ft.

Below is Slemish where Legend has it, St. Patrick tended his sheep... And again...a more wide angled shot.

It is snowing again now (heavily) and that route is now impassable.

The Glens of Antrim in their snowy glory...

Looking towards Shillnavogy Pass...

Lastly Slemish again....
