I thought you northern types just dealt with those conditions.
That's what you're always telling us soft southerners anyway.

An extra coat? Pansies!
I found a picture of me at a shoot in the '70s, I was too young to shoot, but old enough to pick up. I never bothered with coats until I was well into my teens!
Most of us do, local authority have been put under pressure here today, to be fair, the speed and amount of snow was/is fairly hefty. No point trying to get daughter home, she would have to be back in Glasgow tomorrow, made more sense just to send her to an hotel. It would help massively on the roads if there were no "hero's, look at me I can shift on in this" only to find they can't stop " in this" !
My kids have always embarrassed me in that they would/will not wear a coat ( it's not THAT cold ). I am sure that the other parents at the school gates thought they didn't have one, I used to make a big deal out of making them take their jumper and coat out of their bags at the gates to prove they did actually have them

Used to be the stretch of the M74 above the Star Inn that beat the lorries in wind or snow!Most of us do, local authority have been put under pressure here today, to be fair, the speed and amount of snow was/is fairly hefty.

There was about 3inches over night here and another 3 during the day. Sunny spells inbetween wild wind blown snow. Maybe 8 inches in my highest fields
Dad was at a meeting in Edinburgh today. Left at 730 and roads were ok (white but passable)
Having said that. Friend over the hill has 10 inches level and metre deep drifts at his house.

there was a farmers wife went on girly holiday with her mates to the Barbados in the Caribbean,
she met this tall colored chap that worked behind the bar,she took him back to her room, and after hours of passion,
she asked him his name, he replied "my name is Snow "
she burst out laughing and could not control herself, he asked what was she laughing at,
she replied " my husband will never believe that while on holiday in the Caribbean, I had 9 inches of snow"

I would dearly have loved the opportunity to have the new secretary of state for Northern Ireland and Michael Gove along side me for just shy of seven hours with a length of alkathene a-piece, so they could experience it first hand.

Looked after the ground between the old and new roads once upon a time

Wimp, you've got long trousers on
Agree but he would probably just note it as another highly inefficient operation and that wilding the place for environmental gain would be better for everyone all round

reckon 3-4" here in Dunscore village itself, spent about an hour clearing snow into berms in front of our house to stop anyone ending up going into the house or my van, then grtitted from the junction to the school to the 'coonsillors folly' (mini roundabout).
Still falling and drifting so I pity the hirds up on the hills. Cat just went out and straight into spaz mode
