I take it back. Nearly an inch and snowing hard. Roads near house shut - I'm being kicked out of worked.

Passed MOT with a list of advisories. So quick play in snow,then off to open fire, glass of ready wine and some quality reading. Haynes manual of all parts to replace

Well, we havent got a flake of snow down here!!!!..

In one way, quite relieved, as tintent, 5 dogs and 3ft snow dont really go together, and my house wouldnt be getting built either!!

I've potentailly got a job to do down in the Coalburn/Douglas area - I've to get a vehicle and trailer up a hill tomorrow or Weds. Anyone got an idea of off-road ( forestry track) conditions around the junction of the A70/M74 ( 5-10 miles west of Cairn Services ) ?

I was down there last week, no problem, snow was only an inch or two - but whats it like now ?

The emergency services in Fife have given out the following advice if you intend to travel during the adverse weather. Make sure you take a shovel, a bag of salt or grit, wellingtons, a torch, a blanket or sleeping bag, a flask of hot tea or coffee and a mobile phone, fully charged. Honestly I felt a right dick getting on the bus this morning to go to work!
