yvonnejambo Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I can say from my return journey home today; penicuik wasnt snowing when I left but took a lot of digging car out to leave the place.

Only a Game Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Big band of snow sitting just out in the north sea heading for Edinburgh. Might never happen but one of the sites I looked at is forecasting up to 20 cms with the snow starting around 9pm and not stopping all night.

scottish_chicP Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Really starting to get ****ed off with this snow. It was nice for a few days, but this has been going on for 3 weeks! Me too. I think I usually like it because it only ever lasts a couple of days then melts. This is just a pain in the ass now. Especially having to get into Edinburgh for work every day from Broxburn. It isn't actually snowing here just now but I'm guessing it will start again at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Just been watching the 10 O'Clock news, they are predicting over a foot of snow will fall in the London/Home Counties area overnight, and some areas around Aberdeen now have over two foot of snow lying (and its still chucking it down), and they are predicting temperatures to fall to below -20 towards the weekend (looks like we'll have to put on about 16 layers of clothing for the trip to Pittodrie this weekend (assuming it goes ahead)). Where does this all fit in with global warming, or will they now switch tact and change to global freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitster Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm so fed up of it now like many others..it's ok when you dont have to dig your car out of 4 feet of snow to get out and do a constant snow/ice/temp watch..source grit from the only bucket (vaguelly) locally to have any, grit the drive (again) and pray it doesn't get worse..having get up early to get to work and to dig said car out of yet more snow/ice and get it out the drive again. That said many are facing worse conditions and longer more terrifying commutes than I do...completely and utterly sympathise with you.

yvonnejambo Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 The railway has been closed for the last couple of days has it not? Carrbridge station is closed because freight train derailed, which means all passengers going to or from Inverness need to get off at Aviemore and get a bus to Inverness from there. At the moment she is on a train thats broke down and there is heavy snow drifts. Same happened to her yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
