Snowing heavily doon here in the capital

Agree wi Tom about the clowns driving without lights. The other night at about 5ish (dark!!) in town there was a big 4x4 hairing along the road in the snow wi nae lights on. Twat didn't even notice the countless cars furiously slashing their lights at him. 

 

If they had flashed their lights it may have been better

Damn auto correct!

What a nightmare. Trying to get back up to Aberdeen from Glasgow and it is proving very fucking annoying. Didn't really trust the roads so decided not to go with any buses and bought a anytime ticket for the train. Now either trains are delayed from Perth or just not running! Argh!

Still bugger all sna here really, and as long as I can get my flights on the 11th I don't care

Are you going somewhere??? 

Mastrick is deep in sna' the day.  Got a day off to wait in for the gas meter changed.  Think I'll be heading out after lunch to build a sna'man.  Nae done that for at least 20 years!!!  Happy Days

Are you going somewhere??? 

 

Yes 

Got back to Aberdeen from London yesterday - bitterly cold down there but no snow as yet.

 

Day of annual leave today and have just spent two hours clearing the driveway and path of snow.  Hate doing that - but there are loads of middle-aged/older mannies seemingly having the time of their lives doing it. What the fuck is that all about? How can you enjoy shifting snow out of the way?!

It's the war-time spirit

Its almost a competition near me in BOD, they are up and at it from 7 in the morning clearing it as fast as they can, building as high a mound as possible at the end of their driveway blocking both the road and pavement. 

Fucking whiteout in Campsie!!

Still nae snow in Troon

Im currently in Glasgow, snowing quite heavy fae here! Harcus is having a grand time, left Glasgow at 9 this morning and no reached Perth yet! 

 

Well that was epic. The M90 between Glasgow and Perth was wild, snowmen, snowball fights and some truly awful "driving" from others.

Left Banchory at twelve yesterday. Cleared Aberdeen by one. Held up for an hour or so at Forfar but thought we had missed the worst but the bbc radio didn't feel the need to tell us all roads south of Perth were closed and that the A90 between Dundee and Perth was nose to tail and barely passable. Took 6 (six) hours to get from Glendoick to Perth (11 miles). Some utter fuck wits on both side of the road and amazing we didn't see any accidents. Just delighted I was able to find a bed at my sisters in Perth. Left Perth at about two today, A90 south to Dunblane was single file but reasonable although I hear it is closed again now. Finally back to the flat just after four. Twenty eight hours after we originally left Banchory. 

The red army's newest recruit.  Short term support!!!!

 

Special mention to the Thundersnow we experienced at Forfar and Perth.  Proper mental.

Office getting shut at 3 today. Got to love snow. 

Minor snow in London, I fully expect the whole city to grind to a halt in sheer panic.

I'm quite surprised at the lack of panic this time in Edinburgh, but the utter stupidity of some people cannot be fathomed.

Still got none.... away to set off to Newcastle in an hour or so, so suspect won't be too long until I encounter it
