    Freezing fog now after the snow stopped. Had a wee bit of fun out in the street as me and a few others done the road as everything was getting stuck. M8 looks mad on the TV.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Boy were we impressed with the mini today
    No snow tyres and it behaved impeccably, in fact was doing better than some of the 4x4's and SUV's.
    I agree..a feel as if I'm the only person who is actually mobile! had no problems in the snow at all

    Snowed in Alford yesterday for the 12th day in a row. Really pissed with it now.


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Got up to go to work this morning to find it was -10 and the wee Pug was a block of ice welded to the driveway! I waited till it was light and dug myself a path out of the driveway, it was so cold the metal bits of the shovel got stuck to my gloves! I think I managed with only a couple of heart attacks.

    Got down to the shops in Larkhall to post some stuff for my Dad and get provisions. Side roads pretty awful, and car parks hilarious - full of big fat-tyres cars with no grip whatsoever - the 106 just drove past them, bless it. Will try to get to work in Hamilton tomorrow... fingers crossed. It's not just the getting out that's the problem, it's the getting back later when everything freezes up again.

    Roll on Springtime, I like a bit of snow at Christmas, but this isn't fun at all. Take care everybody!
