khitajrah Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Just a warning to motorists that the road through Aith is extremely icy this morning. The gritter doesn't normally come by until about 8am, so take extra care. My OH is out there now changing his tyre because he slid into the kerb.

DamnSaxon Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 From way doon sooth in Nottingham, a very sunny day here, and the picture I've just picked up from the weather satellite shows no clouds at all south of (roughly) the Isle of Man. A bit grotty looking over Shetland, though. JAS, light cloud cover over inland Scotland, but don't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ of Hildisvik Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Up here in N Mavine, up to a short while ago, it has been lovely, no wind, about 0.5 deg so icy as hell, especially after a few spots os sleet came down, hence the gritters have been out. Rain shwr now and 3 deg, but no wind. Here endeth the forecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Is it me or are the gritters gritting slightly less grit these days. Sometimes they go past and you can barely see any evidence of grit/salt - is this the credit crunch we are hearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ of Hildisvik Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 ^^^^^ Thats not the credit CRUNCH, thats the spreading of Rice-Crispies instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoni Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I think the weather reports are worse for tomorrow and monday which is a worry as I was planning to get the Christmas groceries then...fingers crossed the buses will be running or we will be eating maccaroni cheese for Christmas dinner lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 The bus has taken 35 minutes longer than usual to get as far as the Ness, and considering it usually only takes 45 minutes to do the trip, that kinda speaks for itself.

filskit_toogie Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 its stopped snowing in the toon for the mean time but the roads are horrendous!!! geen yun thick slushy way with hard ice underneath! very tricky driving conditions, just come back from the shop and saw 2 cars slide into kerbs, one at sound school roundabout and another at grantfield roundabout. i think the one at grantfield buckled his wheel as his tyre popped aff the rim.....i would say serves them right if he/she was driving far to fast but the poor driver was just creeping along and driving at an slow speed for the road conditions just hit ice and could do nothing!!
