Carl Fredrickson Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Beats - main roads appear to be clear but it is getting on them that will prove difficult. If you can get out of your cul-de-sac then you may be ok. I noticed yesterday that the snowploughs were out in force in the afternoon - hopefully be out again today.

CavySlaveJambo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Wee point about severity My dad had to clear his path this morning, he is in the North East, but his proximity to the High Water Mark means it is normally clear.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Going to attempt it. Don't, WL council appear to have done their usual and sent out ploughs that ain't gritting. Roads around Blackburn are mostly untreated and we're only a few miles from their salt mountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasman Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 There's not a lot going to change over the next couple of days. The ploughs and gritters are fighting to keep the main routes open, but as it keeps snowing that's an uphill struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bit of a job getting up from Gala yesterday mate, but I'd have absolutely no chance today, it's a risky drive for you. Apparently the last time we had thunder and lightning with snow we were hit by over 2 feet of the stuff, and the forecast is for up to 2 feet this time, I can't remember seeing clouds as heavy as those (last winter apart) for a very long time.

Carl Fredrickson Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Midlothian Council have a tractor going round in front of the snowplough - why? It cant be to make tracks as surely the plough will ensure the truck has a clear bit of road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonlegions Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) It's the same deal, "chilly air forced southward" because of a distortion in the normal flow of the Jet stream. Thing is, that happened over North America in June, it's happening over Europe in winter. The Gulf Stream has weakened significantly over the past 10 years, and we are now seeing the consequences. Here's an article with a video explaining what happened in India, Russia and China this year as a result of a similar strange break down/up of the Jet Stream (ignore the 'global warming' nonsense). Russian Drought, Pakistan Floods, Chinese Landslides All Linked To Bizarre Jet Stream Change; http://www.sott.net/articles/show/213344-Russian-Drought-Pakistan-Floods-Chinese-Landslides-All-Linked-To-Bizarre-Jet-Stream-Change Freak Current Takes Gulf Stream to Greenland[ quote; "An unprecedented extreme in the northern hemisphere atmospheric circulation has driven a strong direct connecting current between the Gulf Stream and the West Greenland current. The unprecedented negativity of the "Arctic Oscillation" and the strong connection of the Gulf Stream with the Greenland current are exceptional events. More exceptional weather events are predicted with anthropogenic climate change, but this could be a natural variation of weather and currents". link; http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/1/6/822520/-Freak-Current-Takes-Gulf-Stream-to-Greenland Here is more on the dynamics and reality's of the osculations of this very important system; link; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream Edited November 28, 2010 by maroonlegions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Berwick Jambo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Its now centimetre wide hailstones in north berwick, everytime it looks like its going to clear for a short time another huge dark cloud comes in off the north sea & it starts all over again! I have been out in the cab since 10am & i dont finish till 11pm, the main roads seem fine but as soon as i have to use the back roads its almost impossible at times & i have been stuck twice, god knows what its going to be like when the sun sets, the temperature plummets & the surface water freezes again!

frankblack Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looks like tomorrow morning's journey into work will be "interesting" to put it mildly! I'm dreading the journey tomorrow. Getting the car out of the car park, never mind Craigmount, could be awkward. Seriously tempted to phone the work and ask if I can work from home, but may have to go in to see if I can do that on Tuesday. Leaving the car and taking the bus is something I've done a bit recently, but the 10 minute walk to the bus stop will be more like 25 mins with the underfoot conditions being awkward. It was about 10 inches deep when I got the bus to Tesco for messages - the bus home nearly crashed twice with the driver not taking it carefully!
