williemillersmoustache Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I live next to the M80, I've never seen so much snow here. Easily a foot and half in front of the door.Shout out to anyone (non emergency workers) trapped in their cars, I assume you'll need it being that much of a fuckwit you ignored all the warnings.Tempted to wander over, stand at the top of the embankment with a thermos of sloe gin, a six pack and some twiglets and just shout abuse / some unhelpful advice. Before retiring to my woodburning stove and some netflix. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond8 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Not attempting to work today. Eventually hoofed it down yesterday taken me about an hour and a half/two hours and got a mouthful of shite off the gaffer when I got in. Just about had enough of the place if I’m honest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Nice and clear in Edinburgh at the mo....bit of a battering overnight judging by the garden but hearing about Fife and the West it does look like it was a lucky escape from it being wore. Every website I read for an idea of today contradicts each other. Beeb is ok till later and 'maybe' heavy snow, others are constant but light snow...I've seen folk say metcheck is the most accurate, any others folk would recommend? I'm not planning on going to work or anything daft like that, just want to have a wander at some point :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down near Porty, there's a few inches of snow. I meant the sky was nice and clear as others had said there was bad weather ongoing. Thinking of buying the boys a sledge but not sure where to head that's nearby - bit too far away from Arthurs Seat for the wee men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say about a solid foot in the Tollcross area. Felt like more. Our office never closed either. Made it into work, driving through the 12 inches of white shite like the masochist that I am. I think my work is at 3% capacity! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cement Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Got stuck in Edinburgh last night. Took refuge in pub and got hammered before crashing at mates. No spare keks, contact lenses and I have a hangover and no trains.[emoji102] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Awful lot of people dingying their work these days but still expecting bar staff to battle through.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 No busses in Glasgow till 10am. I could walk to work but it would take an hour or so. Message from the boss last night, they’re not expecting people to attempt to travel. F*ck it, more sleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Got into work OK but stuck on the road just outside the estate. Not the best place to be parked tbh. The roads are very quiet, can see lots of places being closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Some amount of Yer Da patter on and offline about how hysterical/bad we are at coping with snow. “How come we coped with a Nazi invasion but not this” was a particular highlight. Quite sunny in Glasgow this morning so I’m gonna assume it’s exactly the same everywhere else and will stay exactly the same throughout the morning. I will do my usual 20min walk to work and then chide anyone who didn’t make it in via a gridlocked motorway or a non-running rail service. Edit - blizzard just started 2mins after posting that.

EdinburghPar1975 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Below is what the Met Office reckons is for Edinburgh between noon and midnight, why would this be an amber warning and not the red waning we had yesterday? Looks like the same forecast they had? It's also completely different from the Beeb radar thingy I seen that showed no snow for Edinburgh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Daft burd interviewed on the radio from Glasgow airport,, which is closed so she can't fly out as planned. "The situation is a complete shambles" Yeah, Scotland's entire infrastructure should be altered during this unprecedented weather, just to make sure your life doesn't have to change, ya daft boot. Locally, I'm working from home, though my work is closed until at least 10am. Snow is deep enough that I can't see the 2 basketballs that are lying somewhere on my back green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
