Snow has finally arrived in Scotland!

It already did, see Supernaut's post above. 

It's snowing in the lower parts of Falkirk but just horrible wet snow.

Little bit here, it won't last long though

Started off with a light dusting the other day.

It's come back again today, a bit more this time.

Rain coming in now so it won't lie long.

Came across snow on Thursday in Scotland, from the central belt upwards. The A86 from Spean Bridge to Newtonmore was a bit naughty, just near the Dalwhinnie turn, a guy in a Sprinter had come off the road and landed on the drivers side in a ditch. Emergency services were on their way, and the guy was okay, just couldnt get out of the cab.

This was Old Faithful (750,000 kms and counting) yesterday morning after an overnight stop just outside Huntly, Aberdeenshire.

A97 from Huntly to Aboyne was a bit squeaky bottom time!

Just under 10 hours driving time to get back to base. Mind, by the looks of it, I'm glad I'm not up there today...

5,7 or7? Lovely things and my ideal is a rear lounge 700 with a TB conversion.

The snow in Bonnybridge is treacherous. It just looked fluffy at my house but down the town it has turned to packed ice. I ventured out as I didn't want to dissapoint my son and not get him to his basketball training. There's a steep bend coming down from the canal bridge and the traffic had all stopped half way up.  Even with me gingerly going at less than 5mph the car just went out of control. Constance braking, steering , ABS, nothing made any difference. One of those situations where you just have to brace. I missed a BMW, a flatbed lorry, the kerb and a bus before coming to a halt at the bottom of the hill after 100m. Thankfully nobody was hurt and nothing was damaged.

Glad I chose the more shit car of my fleet, the red Audi, to venture out. I'd have been gutted to prang the nice grey one and going out in the E46 would just have been silly.

Car now abandoned and we all safely walked back, via Greggs of course.

Still, at least it wasn't a Clio 182 with "rapid" brand summer tyres.  That would have been quite irresponsible.

There's a bit more information about it here. It's your dream Hymer, but the aftermarket turbo isn't TB. I'm not sure who fitted it, but there's no intercooler.

Has now started raining and is melting off, seems like a lot of motorways locally are at a standstill.

All buses off in Edinburgh. Kids have been out in it but I’m happy watching from the window!

Back here in London we have - no snow. There was a flurry last week❄️ on Regents Street featured on the BBC but nothing now . In fact - it's warmed up - two guys on Beckenham High Street seen in shorts...🏖

But we are 'ard  as nails ere in Sarrf Londin' - or something like that 🤣

I've just come in in T shirt and shorts, but it's 5°C now and everything is melting rapidly
