Few years ago BBC repeated a feature called 'The Big Freeze' from 1963. I see it's on Youtube. Seriously doubt people would cope with 2+ months of cold and snow nowadays: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I probably saw it on the 50th anniversary - they had the chap from Springwatch bookending it. Spoke to someone last week who spent 2 weeks cut-off in the Lammermuirs in 1963. There was also a Saturday without any first-class football in Scotland due to the weather (Feb 9th), which must have been very rare throughout history... although I think another was in 1940. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just catching the end of the documentary and Ridley Scott is credited as 'designer' in what was probably his first job with the BBC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ironic that Oriam - the national indoor facility which cost £30M - is to remain closed the rest of the week and weekend due to the weather , except possibly for a Heriots-Currie rugby game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 No even that bad now :'( Been on all night though G Man. Been some real heavy stuff at times but steady on the whole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Managed to get to the shops no problem and get back without any issues.Main roads are fairly clear and right now it's not snowing so same again for tomoro would be fine. Also less idiots on the road please :-) Really? It’s bad at mine just now, I’m DD2 off City Road. Roads up here are all fucked too I can’t get my car out, main ones are just slush but managed to walk all the way into work this morning on the road. Nobody about at all. I’m sort of hoping it stays steady, sent home today so if it’s similar tomorrow I should get another day off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly; also surrounding car parks / pavements treacherous, staff not getting in, and outer pitches snowbound... Whole facility shut yesterday, today, tomorrow, plus it looks like all the indoor sports are off this weekend except the provisional rugby tie at 2pm. Not questioning it, btw, no doubt sensible: but it highlights nothing is truly "all weather" when even an indoor pitch closes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Honda jazz seems to have no issues with the snow. Sadly this means I will be going to work tomoro as we won't close :-( I had a shot of my folks Honda H-RV a few years ago during a snowy spell. It was excellent in the snow too. Got up steep hills no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Does anyone in the Falkirk area know if there's snow ploughs kicking about today? Need to go for a prescription but doubting my ability to walk to my GP. Could probably dig the car out and drive if the roads were to be cleared a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Well I'm at work, I'm the only daft c**t it seems. Not allowed to work on my own due to health and safety, that's a bummer. Will sit about till the pub across the road opens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
