die hard doonhamer Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It's just come on mental again in Scone. Also it's not like folk can just go the back road when the A9 is shut there. Same out in Luncarty. Very heavy again. Don't think I'll be going out tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Same out in Luncarty. Very heavy again. Don't think I'll be going out tomorrow. Was in Luncarty last night delivering pizzas with a mate and anything off the main road was all untreated. Can't really see what putting a load of salt/grit down will do as more fresh snow is just going to lie on top of what's already there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hasn't snowed for a few hours. However there was no library staff in today (I assume because of the weather) so I could not take out any short loan books for my Geography essay I hit an old jakey with a snowball today, right in the back of the head. He was drinking wine out of a thermos flask at the time. Probably mulled wine then. Lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the hill at the shop is horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poang Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The M90 is at a standstill at Bridge Of Earn apparently, people wandering about outside their cars. Southbound and Northbound blocked by lorries. I went through it this morning coming back from kinross and it was just absolutely mental. Ive been driving for 10 years this year and ive never experienced anything like it. It took me 2 hours to do a 15 odd mile trip, had to get folk to help push me 3 or 4 times since ive got a rear wheel drive, which is just a nightmare in the snow. Looking back, Im still shocked I managed to make it all the way back to my flat! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenrothes Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The M90 is at a standstill at Bridge Of Earn apparently, people wandering about outside their cars. Southbound and Northbound blocked by lorries. Aye, I was one of them! Coming from Carnoustie to Glenrothes. The Tay bridge was closed so had to dirvert via Perth. Got too within half a mile of the Bridge of Earn turnoff. Sat there for 3 and a half hours before being able to get off the motorway at bridge of earn. Chaos! Only took 30mins to get home once we got off the motorway. Bet they are all still sitting there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 How'd you get on? I need to go from Kirkcaldy to Stirling tonight, but I'm probably just going to leave earlier. As far as I can tell online there's no issues other than five minute delays here and there. I realise this is far too late to be of any use, but there were some problems with the trains around the time I was supposed to be leaving for work, so I never went. Seemed they actually cleared up after that, so I doubt there's much problem, it hasn't snowed here since about 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magoo82 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thunder is really loud here. I stayed up to watch the cricket last night and near shat myself at the thunder. That's as loud as anything i've ever heard (the stuff at 5am). Never experienced thundersnow before. It's raining here now but the forecast overnight is way below zero. Glad i took Monday/Tuesday off work now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 For those talking about the A9/M90 my folks were visiting family in Aberdeen this weekend (We stay in Motherwell) they left Aberdeen about 12ish and are now checked into the Gourdie Croft Premier Inn Dundee for the night because they just can't get out. Believe the police are now on the scene stopping traffic going any further as the road is now closed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just passed an idiot cycling along Seabegs road For those who know Bonnybridge it isn't very safe cycling along it in good weather never mind in snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
