heartsfc_fan Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Drive into work was fine for me. Lasswade is a white-out but as soon as you hit the inner parts of the city (Cameron Toll etc) no snow at all. A kick in the baws, because just had a call from the missus, snow day for her Her boss (Livingston) is sending everyone home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 That you finished work for the day mate? Is now mate. Started at 5 and still have more scheduled but **** this. It can wait until the morn. The benefits of being self employed. Just going into Morrisons for some cream to top off the hot chocolate. And a slither of Brie.

Franklin Delano Bluth Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Aberdeen is holding up. It's just coming and going. Snow's like the arctic for 5 minutes then stops, melts and starts again 20 minutes later. Might go down the park and do some slide tackles, do some handbrake turns in the car park then home and get the hot chocolate on. Fantastic.

SirRudi Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Seen the daft wee 14 - 15 year olds who took the piss out of me last night and told them to get to school or get a job. Got followed half way down the road to the bus stop to a torrent of abuse. Gotta hand it to them, they are quite articulate in the ribbing proccess.

kingantti1874 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I was reading an article the other day which was explaining the reduction in sea ice is responsible for pushing the jet stream south which in turns allows the development of anti-cyclones, anti-cyclones are rare for the UK and now 3 out of the last 4 winters have been dominated by them... The jet stream is currently sitting around France which is a record latitude so the current weather will persist for the foreseeable... The thing is, we should all be keeping our fingers crossed that it stays that way, if it does stay that way this summer will be more akin to a Canadian or Scandinavian summer, clear skies and mid 20's as the easterly wind will drag in warm air from the continent as opposed to the cold stuff we are experiencing now... If the Gulf Stream moves north again that's when it will get wet and windy... I know what is prefer.. Snowy winters, Sunny summers , sounds like a plan.
