Suzanna Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Went over the Alps this morning, the snow was deep in some places, but passable with care, anyone driving a low slung car might have got stuck. Main road to Brae not as good as yesterday, but the gritty men out and making improvements all the time, kept to a steady 30-35 to Sullom, it took me just over an hour to get to work.

breeksy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've kept my daughter home, based on police advice. Apparantly some schools (including at least one in the Brae High School catchment area) were told they had to shut by the education department, while Brae was told to make the decision themselves - after phoning education for advice.

PJ of Hildisvik Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The education dept seems to be passing the buck a bit.(we will not be responsible for any problems) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an appointment for physio in lerwick this mornin and have cancelled as I am too scared to drive to toon.

michael_balmain Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Aloha. Sober in town certainly pretty good now . We were on the hil for at least 2.5 hours. In white out navigating was bloody slow. Ten paces a time. Could hardly see each other. Once the hole was dug it wasn't too bad up there. . Then you stick your head above ground and wham! cars had home off north o the junction towards town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
