............. as we say here in Darkest Scotland
The wind and rain have to be seen to be believed :o
Internet is down, have my phone tethered to my PC right now, good you can do that. 8)
It has been bad over here too Fred but beginning to clear now.
Let's hope there are no eejits on the hill today. Whiteout up in the glens apparently.
An inch of slush in the garden at the moment. Fair covering on the Ochils.
Semi tame cock pheasant was sheltering under a bush near the back door. Followed me out for a seeds sprinkling on the lawn. If I make a rumbling bbrrrrr sound it walks alongside two feet away. An earlier one even came up the back steps which was a bit demanding!
A chunk of harling come adrift on the chimney stack looks to be the only damage, pain in the @rse, only had that re done just before covid, you just can't find a decent tradesman these days.
Mayhem on the A9 at Dalwhinnie and Slochd some drivers trapped for 6 hours in heavy snow. Not a good day to be out!
Modern forecasting lets the LAs prepare with snowploughs and salters.
What could go wrong ??
Weather warnings and advice to not travel seem to be beyond the comprehension of many people.....who then moan about being caught out.
