The forecast warned from 16:00 today that there would be heavy snowfall. Clear here in SCY, what about other area's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReawickLass Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 yep had a couple of heavy showers here on the wastsideI wish they would make the schools decision late evening the night before rather than having to get up an listen to the radio.... and it would mean you knew whether or not to bother with your homework for the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 looking at the skeld school access road this afternoon. unless the kids have got snow shoes they are not going to get there. looks very deep on the slope. there is a lot of slush and if it snows again the roads will be dangerous for the school buses. so im guessin the westside schools will be shut again. were the schools shut so much 20-30 years back. thou living in the soft south i can't remember getting even one snow day.

MJ Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 were the schools shut so much 20-30 years back. thou living in the soft south i can't remember getting even one snow day.not that I remember, snow days were pretty rare, but our school "bus" was a landrover. To be honest there's been more snow this winter than I remember as a bairn, we did also get plenty of power cut days, quite often they were caused by snow. But they weren't "snow days", we also got sent home more often, but with parents no longer being home it's easier to err on the side of caution than try and find someone willing to take the child half way through the day. Edit - we also had a janitor who would have dug out the drive to the school and safe paths to the front door. Makes me wonder now what time he started digging.

hellsbells Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 The road to Eid school today was ok (in Eid) but you have to look at the bigger picture in this weather. I was so glad I lived across the road fae the school when my son was younger as I would have been a wreck if he had to travel fae some of the places in the westside to Eid. It's been snowin here again not too heavy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tojo Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 A decision is being made in the morning depending on the weather overnight. Basically, its a case of listening to the radio, checking shetland news online or shetlink or waiting for a phone call early in the morning. How is the snow fall around the island?
