I think a lot of the schools here have caught the same disease the people down south have... and they all want a day of work/school.
Roads weren't gritted (as usual) but it's not that bad. School bus still never made an appearance so my wife dropped our eldest at school to be told, you might as well take her home again, 'cos we're thinking of shutting anyway (still haven't heard if they have yet or not). Means either I need to go and work from home, or my wife needs to take a days holiday so she can stay at home with her this afternoon... a right royal PITA... wouldn't be so bad if there were a few feet of snow, etc but it's 3-5 inches at worst... most of the roads aren't even as bad as that, inch or two at most on them. Pffff... bunch of bl00dy pansies in charge these days... our school was always open on days far worse than this. |

Yup... still snowing here in Dyce. It's funny looking at the road cameras...
http://www.trafficscotland.org/lev/ If you look at the Ellon ones and then look at Huntly or the ones south of Aberdeen, you'd imagine they were a LOT further apart. Or you could always sit and watch the webcams here http://www.cairngormmountain.co.uk/ and pretend you are looking out your own window

Phil sent me an email saying that it was snowing quite heavily in Aberdeen and to ring and tell him if things got bad here so that he could get home.
I had to give him the sad news that he doesn't get a day off work because we have rain

Been snowing lightly and constanly in Aberdeen all morning. Had some snow at home whihc made getting to the main road fun (only a mile) and then basically passable roads, although you should drive with caution.
I'd never want to oblige anyone to drive in conditions they feel aren't safe though... We had the land rover with new tyres with tread patterns designed for snow/slush. |

Lovely  It's starting to snow harder here now - was more like snow drizzle for a while and so the levels dropped.
|

Crap photo but snow *is* pretty though  Its actually slowing a bit now though, probably be gone by teatime.

Looks more like a slight drizzle of rain here as and when it's doing anything. Would imagine most of it would be gone by night, then if the temps get down low enough it'll all freeze and tomorrow will be worse than today due to ice, not snow. | ||

Oh blast - so you really do have snow further south... I'm in Turriff just now - it's been rain all day and still is. I was hoping to get to Aboyne tonight, but not if it's snowing. What are my chances?!?!?!? | ||
| Cassiepod |
Ina, If you're heading to aboyne for the film, it's been cancelled according to vital veg 'cos of the snow..... | ||
