Big Chae Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's started tonight in harthill and in wick. There was a report today indicating we could expect up to 100 days of snow this winter. Slide tackles, hot chocolate etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Seen pictures just south of Paisley with snow. The heavy snow a couple of winters has put me off it, causes more trouble then fun when its more than a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chae Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 My 1 litre lupo is surprisingly decent in the snow, so getting around isn't too bad. I remember most of livingston was under about 3 feet of snow a few years back, couldn't even make it to the end of the front garden! Gies your snow reports/stories/opinions/rants.

Jambos_1874 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hopefully this results in most of Ross County's (home) winter fixtures being postponed, them losing confidence and fitness as a result and then knackering themselves out in January by having to take part in all the rearranged fixtures, while we gradually erode their advantage to a few points by February.

Big Chae Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 My flat is at the bottom of an alley with about a 70 degree incline. The predicted gash weather and the bursd being pregnant is scaring me a bit. Gritters tanning the motors last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's like someone flicked a switch and the weather instantly changed. Sunday was so mild I was walking around in a t-shirt, today I can't feel my toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just had the coldest November day in about 10 years. It was only 18c. Not to worry, though, it has still been about 26c on average this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Ewing Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Wee bit brisk down here, but nothing to get too excited about. Talking to a car dealer in Edinburgh about a rear wheel drive motor I had a wee test drive of after the Hibs game. Couple of weeks snow just as he's trying to hit his year-end target should serve me very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Was meant to be heading back to Edinburgh for a training course for a couple of weeks in February. Discovered today is been pushed back to Q2. Can't say I was disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody loves Baz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Only disadvantage I have with work is even if it battered down continuously for days, I'd still be expected into work.

Ray Gin Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Rather nippy this morning. Thick, heavy winter jaiket on, gloves on, hat on, still baltic. 1 degree outside and a young chap walked past me this morning wearing a wee flimsy summer jaiket that looked like it was made out of shell suit material. No gloves or hat. Not even a collar on his jaiket. He was blue and had an expression like this: Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticJambo Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Finally got some decent snowfall with winds yesterday and overnight. Downside was that the snowmobile almost took off on me with a frozen throttle cable. Still, at least the skis won't wear out as fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
