Tazio Posted December 29, 2020 Share 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.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (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.

Greedy Jambo Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 (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 by Greedy Jambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Greedy Jambo Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I highly recommend Rockport boots with the slip resistant soles. You can near enough jog across the ice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

heartsfc_fan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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 Link to post Share on other sites
