@Graham, indeed people don't understand you have to clear the bonnet and roof as well. People leave snow on the roof then it flies off in a big icy lump to smash into the car behind.

A wee ride in the foothills of the Gorms today. I had the Sony Action Camera with me so might have some video to upload later.

The worrying thing is that (according to the story and video) the driver continued to drive like that, in the outside lane over the motorway at 50mph+, making no attempt to pull over and sort it out.

drizzle in Hove, we've had no snow this year.

It's because I got a fat bike last Summer, I'm sure.

Squally heavy rain in derby - supposed to be going out on my bike, but I may sit on the sofa and eat chocolate hobnobs instead (plain obviously)

Anybody in the Tweed Valley able to give a snow report ? I am in Edinburgh, staring out my office window, wondering if I should make a break for it. Hate getting stuck in traffic in the snow.

Snawin in Edinburgh west but not lying. This totally offends me, it's a waste of a precious resource, it's like throwing coal in a fireplace, never lighting it, then throwing it in the bin. But maybe it's lying higher (the snow line is often just at the bottom of my road)

Beautiful day so far in the east (Melrose way) but I've just been instructed to cancell a meeting in Peebles as we are moving to Amber weather alert which means that we won't absolutely, definately die to death, but it is possible that we will suffer icey snow filled terror to the point of near death.

yeah, it was a tad windy earlier. snow is still falling and starting to settle on the grass but not yet on the roads, but is now swirling rather than sideways.
tonight's trip to Queensbury should be interesting...

Good to see so many Glasgow drivers being massively full of fail this morning; Clio driver discovering lift-off oversteer for the first time, C3 with portholes in the snow, a lady in an S2000 looking like she was about to give up, 5-series with rear lights and number plate completely covered, car on it's side on the M8, and so on.

Aye it was carnage! Although not as bad as I thought it would be (fortunately).

Still amazes me how breathtakingly stupid some people are. Someone sat behind me on the M8 this morning, about 3ft off my bumper, with a letterbox scraped into the snow on their windscreen so that they could see. Every time I lifted off and slowed right down to try and give them the hint to get off my arse, they just ended up even closer!

Taking pictures whilst driving is also frowned upon

Especially when you only have a letter box sized view from your windscreen.... 😀

The useful Caddon Bank webcam is now stuck behind a minutes worth of advertising and you can't link to the image anymore 🙁

That's 9am this morning for you anyway, looks lovely. The live link is [url= http://farsondigitalwatercams.com/locations/traquair ]here[/url], if slightly less useful than it was.

Nice and white in Lochaber, as it was last night. Went up to a big car park to practice handbrake turns, but the local Fast & Furious crowd had beaten me there. Didn't want to set a bad example, so I told them in a fatherly manner not kill themselves, then went somewhere else to do mine.

Snow snow snowing in Sheffield. Volunteered to drive the wife to work today so I could test the winter tires out. Defo worth it just for the pleasure of driving past BMW drivers and been able to go up the quiet back roads....

Was it expensive importing them from the US?

600 feet up in Fife, time to get the stove fired up.

Beautiful blue sky in Perthshire. I briefly considered a trip up to Cairngorm to try out my new planks and then read the report

Caution. Windchill is around -28.0C at the top.
😯

Might need a double ration in the hip flask.

All the roads out of home are presently closed, blocked with stuck trucks and buses! We've only had about half an inch!

Oh well.....

😀
