Tazio Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 It’s not exactly the Russian steppes in terms of weather but it still amazes me the amount of people walking about in summer footwear or standing at bus stops in thin coats moaning about the cold. I’m sure most people (though sadly not all) can afford to have a decently set of footwear and a warm coat in their house just in case proper winter arrives. I remember being in New York a couple of years ago and the city got hit with a solid 24 hours of heavy snowfall. When I left the apartment to see if I could find any shops open everywhere was open, main roads were cleared and everyone seemed to suddenly have a good winter coat and boots. Quote

Chaps Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Plenty of snow out in East Lothian now. Got a light dusting of it a few weeks ago. Quote

Was forecast to be heavy snow yesterday evening then light snow all during the night on BBC weather app. Looks like we just got a light dusting. Makes you wonder how they still get forecast wrong on the day. Understand it’s hard a week in advance but to get things wrong a matter of hours in advance isn’t right Quote

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Fresh dusting of snow overnight, maybe a centimeter or so, although melting now. The hills around here have had a covering of snow on them for around the last 2 weeks, but that's often the normal here in winter. Edited January 7, 2021 by Jambo-Jimbo Quote
Greedy Jambo Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I'd rather it just melt than keep getting wee pissy amounts and a street full of ice. If it wants to hammer it down for 3 days straight though... that would be worth seeing. Car battery is deed anyway. Edited January 7, 2021 by Greedy Jambo Quote

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Amber warning for snow, for large parts of Scotland for tonight and tomorrow. Quote

I’ve just been for a wee walk and the pavements are lethal. Soft snow/sleet sitting in a thin layer on top of the wet. If it freezes overnight the pavements will be like an ice rink. Quote
Greedy Jambo Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 I highly recommend Rockport boots with the slip resistant soles. You can near enough jog across the ice. Quote

Mrs JJ has just drove back from the Borders General and she says the roads are atrocious (A72 & A6091) not been gritted, snow lying on them. Thankfully she isn't working tomorrow as she'd have to drive on that first thing, often she's one of the first cars on the road, usually meets the gritter around Galashiels or Clovenfords, which isn't that much of a help as she's already driven around 10 miles before she meets the gritters.

I had to waddle like a daft penguin with a pair of trainers on. 🐧 Would be better if it got covered with snow or just got gritted proper. Could be a new sport, the slush Olympics. Quote
heartsfc_fan Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 So far just sleet in Gorebridge. Roads are slush but safe to drive on. Have they told the forecast wrong or is this proper snow due later?* 😀 *(I might eat my words in 12 hours) Quote
