Not seen so much snow down in this area from oh it's got to be back in the mid 90's. Allan had been out with his measure 9" lying in Larbert:eek: it never snows like this down here.

The guy collecting his wheels can't get through to Larbert:( (the main reason I came down) worse than that I can't get home to Inverness A9 closed @ Blair Atholl and then again @ Dalwhinne:( but worse than that no camera down here to go out and take some pics :(but even worse than that my X is home at Inverness.:(

Snowing like fury in the Borders too. Several cm of snow. We were going to do a final recce of the Kielder run today. No chance!

What's worserer still: Lenore and I are supposed to be going away in our caravan in a week and a half's time. EH?? We must be nuts!:(:(:(

I love this. Just checked out www.theaa.com traffic news. Apparently it is only snowing on one side of the road on the A7. See for yourself:

"A7 Snow on the road between Junction with B7007 and Gorebridge (junction with B6372) in Northbound direction"

WTF?

I drove back from Glasgow at 2am on Sunday morning, took me over an hour. Defo the worst conditions I've ever driven in. Apparently loads of ppl slept in The Garage cos there were no taxis.
