Northern Ireland is warmer than scotland all year around , is less cloudy and less rainy. There isn't much variations amongst temperatures and is comfortable all year around.
Scotland on the hand tends to have much more snow(average of 52 days of falling snow) with highlands and aberdeenshire getting feets of snow , is much more colder -15 is common and more windy with frequent gales.
Do you like the settled comfortable weather of northern ireland or the extreme nature/unpredictable nature of scotland?
From an outsider's perspective, these are really similar. Scotland's lower numbers are probably skewed by having higher elevation, as well as its northernmost parts.

I tend to like the snowy nature of scotland...I think many people in UK are obsessed with Scottish weather is because its the only place in the british isles where there is guaranteed snow or colds of -15 and above.
Of course Scotland!!! Beautiful country with beautiful climate. I love fogs, cold, snow and thunderstorms. How many thunderstorms they have in Scotland on average? I don 't like only the low sunshine of Scotland. And what about the snow lying days per year?

Scotland can be pretty snowy . Statistically its the snowiest country in UK With 52 days of snow falling , Highland towns of 200 m and above tend to have 50-90 days of snow and the mountains usually hold snow all throughout summer.
Ski resorts aint that bad Glencoe and Cairngorms this season at one point were the snowiest in europe with 5-10 meters of snow.

Hmm thanks for the information! These snow falling days include sleet or include only snow? Because here in Greece when we talk about snow falling days we mean only snow not sleet and I know that in UK you mean snow and sleet.

I think its both. Average days of lying snow is 27.7 in Scotland and 16.5 for rest of UK.
"The snow cover was described as "wall-to-wall". Average snow depths are thought to be 1.6 metres on the lower slopes, 4.5 metres on the upper slopes, with some deep gully areas estimated as being over 18m deep."

This is why I love Scotland.
