Restonbabe Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Well am awake now. Might as well get up and turn the heating on. It's bloody freezing. Now the question now is do I wake up the kids 2 hours before they are ment to get up for school so i can have an early night or will it backfire as its a half day and they will have a siesta at 3pm?

frankblack Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I also got woken up at 4am on the dot by thunder in NW Edinburgh. Looked outside and it was covered in snow. Went back to bed until my alarm and looks like rain has started to turn the snow into slush, thankfully. Wasn't sure what the forecast was going to be for the snow today, and expected the worst.

You must be a professional driver superjack😁 As for the snow last night. I drove on to the bypass in the early hours this morning and it’s the worst I’ve seen it, didn’t look like a gritter had been anywhere near it.

Not long back from the airport and there is a lot of standing water. Bypass was more spray than anything else, but Bilston has a lot of standing water, as does Penicuik, Leadburn & through past Peebles, we seen a huge difference from the time we went through to the airport to coming back and that was only an hour or so later. If the rain keeps like this, the roads are going to be horrendous by late afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had a 1 series for the last 5 years and have no issues driving in the snow. One day dropping someone off after work there was a slight covering of snow on the ground, the amount that a weak fart would clear. A land rover in front of me was struggling to get up the hill so pulled into the side of the road, I drive round it and up the hill without any issues.

Must be a hell of a lot of hopeless drivers behind the wheel of BMWs then, because I see them more than any brand struggling in snowy conditions.

Restonbabe Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I've got a lightening cavalcade happening right now in front of me down the borders on the east coast. It's over the sea and it's light strobe lights you see at a concert. Not heard. No thunder just flash, flash then after a few more seconds flash. And heavy heavy rain. The entrance to my village is flooded by the eye stream. Dunno how the A1 is. I can't see any lights coming up it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Yeah, just got a load of extreme hale battering off my windows. Really loud thunder and the lightning is brighter than normal.

Roads were clear, but wet. By the time I got to the meadows, it was completely white. The hailstones felt like they were going to come through the windscreen, never seen them come down with that force before. Loads of flooding and icing over badly. Just had a wee spin in the Sick Kids car park. Top of Argyle Place looks like an ice rink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
