TheScarf Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Just the last thing you need when preparing to drive back down the a9. Means the hills have snow the idiots will go 40 on the clear roads It's same same in town as well. As soon as there is snow reported on high ground, Inverness gets gridlocked by dobbers driving at 20mph. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't confident enough to drive in the conditions then let a professional do it for you. No point being a risk to yourself and others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Just the last thing you need when preparing to drive back down the a9. Means the hills have snow the idiots will go 40 on the clear roads Part of the problem on the A9 is that HGV's are restricted to 40mph on the single carriegeway sections. That means you get convoys of cars nose to tail behind them forced to drive at that speed. It becomes very difficult - not to mention downright bloody dangerous to get past them - hence the high number of accidents on these sections of that road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenLoyal Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Well, thought I'd bump this thread since we are meant to get absolutely pummeled. Sky full of something in Cowdenbeath at the moment but nothing fell for the time being. Anyone got any yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It snowed a wee bit here this morning, or least Facebook said it did. Really must take the boards off the windows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Bit of a dusting in Central London this morning, not that I actually saw much of it except out the window and my five minute walk either side of being underground, but it was definitely there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That'll be London closed then? Sadly not, I was hoping so when I woke up and saw the slight dusting on the wall and the patio furniture. There are plenty of folk greeting about it being too cold though. More forecast, apparently, so hopefully a day off sitting in my pants, eating toasties and playing FIFA is in the offing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
