Snow in Scotland

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I feel really remiss not to have noticed how bad things are becoming in Scotland. I must apologise to you all up there. i see that in some parts there have been exceptional amounts even for those of you who are more used to it. Will go and have a look at the situation.

Still snowing.

And guess what the forecast is for today?

Yup, more snow!

Its yucky really wet snow here in Stirling and is meant to snow more today.

And my dh needs to get South today, but I think the North of Scotland is pretty much cut off.

I think one of my text alerts yesterday from Stirling Council said the A9 was still closed Wallace. It could be open now mind you.

Still closed I think. He might be able to go round via aberdeen way. I think the road that way is now open and "passable with care"

Luckily he has a four wheel drive!

hope he has a safe journey Wallace.

updated warnings continuing to be a severe situation.

Snowing still/again - not entirely sure if it ever stopped really!

Power keeps cutting out too.

Hope you've got candles and stuff bum?

Nope gloriously unprepared

Hasn't pissed about since this morning so fingers crossed they fixed whatever it was, I heard a load of power lines came down across the A9 which is probably what it was.

How are you all doing up there now - do we need to send out St Bernards with barrels of brandy to rescue you?

Has stopped now and is getting colder.

A9 is open and dh has gone South

lol, I hoe he isn't hoping to find sun hope it doesnt freeze too hard for you. How are the trees and stuff holding up?

anybody know if i'm going to be able to drive to comrie/crieff from edinburgh (via perth) tomorrow lunchtime???

Fluffles, I think the Crieff road is ok now, double check the traffic reports tomorrow though as we're supposed to get snow through the night tonight.

Dh had a safe journey but the snow followed him South

fluffles - do you use the www.trafficscotland.org/ website?

Probably more branches and trees down - there wasstill a lot hanging off ready to fall after the last heavy snow. Our remaining gutter is ready to fall too.

Poor gutter. When we had our heavy snow earlier in the year I was overawed with how destructive snow can be. I've seen far more trees and branches down from that event than I have from any wind storm.

Weather looking much less fierce for you all today, good smattering of snow showers, some heavy but not that prolonged intense stuff.

we didn't go today - i do use traffic scotland but i find it only lists actual road closures or queues, and sometimes doens't mention some roads that are in my opinion barely passable.
