inspector Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Came down the A9 today. Roads are ok although the verges are covered in snow. The outside lanes at Slochd and Drumochter have a bit of snow but I've seen them worse. Few snow showers but the biggest problem are the erseholes who have no idea of the dangers they pose to other road users. Up against a wall🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 A few inches of snow fell here in the Borders overnight, proper winter scene outside now, 9am and no sign of any gritters, main roads are utterly atrocious seemingly, side roads even worse.

Barely anything closed down and every person seemed to at least own decent footwear for it and a suitable coat and hat. I got home a short while ago and saw so many people dressed the exact same as they usually do stood shivering at bus stops. If people can’t afford it I genuinely feel sorry for them but nearly every one of them was labelled up to the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least two layers on the bottom half. Proper waterproof footwear and obviously keep the head covered by a good bunnet. I think the coldest I experienced was minus 25 ish.

I enjoyed my winters in the Oslo area apart from lack of daylight. The houses were built for the weather in the winter and you basically lived outside in the summer. I always remember my first winter. I was due to meet some friends for drinks but it was a blizzard all afternoon and the snow was knee deep by daytime. I phoned one of them saying I can't make it as I had to get a train a couple of stops and obviously it wouldn't be running. I can still here him laughing down the phone at me.

JimmyCant Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I have a vague recollection of the winter of 62/63. I was just a nipper and we lived in the higher part of Gorebridge. The snow drifts were so bad that folk had to dig tunnels or trenches out of their front doors to get out the house. ground floor windows had a 8-10 foot wall of snow in front of them. When you eventually got out the snow was so rock solid and hard packed that you could touch the tops of telegraph poles in the field opposite our house. All the kids in our street built igloos which lasted for about 6 weeks. The coal board my dad worked for hired a tracked vehicle and delivered tins of beans and bread and other essentials. We just couldn’t get out the street but the kids thought it was great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
