vikingTON Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Plenty of snow falling on the normally sunlit upper slopes of the Clyde Riviera, by the looks of the radar and the covering already on the ground for most of the day then we could get a fair dump by the end of the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the salt air stops that happening on coastal towns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well I guess that's another conundrum for the forum's failed potamologist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I had to look up potamology. I was really hoping it would be the study of pots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Erm, no. The Clyde Riviera, by definition, would be the Clyde coastline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) The Clyde Riviera, by definition, would be the Clyde coastline. Given that the word 'Riviera' has no geographical definition in the English language, no it wouldn't. The fact that you decided to charge into that broiling tar-pit of fail without trying to comprehend how the Clyde, a river, could have its own coast-line suggests that Hedgecutter has a kindred spirit. Perhaps the two of you could work out your baffling inability to grasp Scottish geography in a wee subforum.

Perhaps the two of you could work out your baffling inability to grasp Scottish geography in a wee subforum. ^^^ Still can't grasp the simple idea that just because people of Greenock call it 'the river' doesn't make it a river, just as somebody between Inverness & Dingwall referring to their peninsula as 'The Black Isle' doesn't make it an island. It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if VT thought he was on a separate island when crossing the Kessock Bridge though, especially being a West Coaster. Eta: To keep it more on topic, it supposedly gets it's name 'Black Isle' because snow doesn't lie there much in comparison to the surrounding elevated areas, hence appearing darker.

D.A.F.C Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Was quite bad driving back from the fives earlier. Worst I've driven in for about ten years, stopped soon after though thankfully. Find snow quite hypnotic in the dark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) The fact that it flows from an inland source to a sea that is well beyond Greenock rather does though. Poor definition seeing as an estuary / firth will inevitably lie between the two. Tidal? Check (>2m swing at Greenock today) Salty? Check Hence coastal? Check Firth of Clyde? ... Check. But hey, what would the Ordnance Survey know about geography? (I'm sure they'd all love a VT lecture to re-educate them) Don't think I need to clog up this thread with basic school level stuff any further.

Find snow quite hypnotic in the dark. Find it impossible to drive in the dark when it's snowing! Like you said, with the headlights on I get completely hypnotised by the snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
