systemx Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Really bad up Gorebridge way this morning - blizzard again earlier on, the snow is so deep it's over the top of my wellies. Buses were running, but with difficulty. Had to go to Gorebridge (Mast behind telephone exchange)and it really is as bad as you describe.Couldnt get to a fault in Berwick as A1 was closed. Was in St.Andrews yesterday and found Fife not half as bad as Lothians.No snow at all in St Andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually doesn't feel quite so cold outside tonight, which could be a bad thing, as a rise in temperature tends to be the precursor to more snow.

Only a Game Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Anyone else think that the forecasts in the last couple of weeks have been way off on occasions. The six inches we got on Christmas Eve wasnt forecast and the minus 10 with clear skies we were supposed to get last night didnt happen, nothing like it in fact) Its snowing heavily now in sunny Drylaw and that wasnt forecast either (its supposed to be sunny but freezing cold right now), in fact there is no snow on the BBC weather satelite for just now.
