Proper deep drifts over the tops past Rawtenstall and Crawshawbooth. And its still coming down really hard. Might have to do strategic dash for home, and work from there for the afternoon. That definitely won’t result in me just going out for a play on the bike, of course. 😉
@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.

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.
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…
