Morning all, Well guess what, yeh you got it in one SNOW.
My son should be landing at our airport round about now
and will he be in for a shock, especially as he has just come
from Africa where it's about 40 there to -8. The only one happy
to see it back is Rory. Take care all and stay warm.

OMG!!! Snow - we got a shedload!! and still coming down - snowing when I looked out at 4:00am and still going - disastrous here because next door neighbour's funeral this morning and they brought her home during the week - old fashioned custom - the crematorium is on the side of the mountain and the post funeral refreshments are in a hotel on the top of the mountain!! have no idea what on earth will happen

son just rang to say the mountain road is closed from the crematorium exit right up over the top and down into Caerphilly - the hotel is in that patch!!!
just told neighbour to contact crem or funeral home, cos poor devil is out there clearing the snow ready for the hearse and everything

have a feeling this funeral won't be happening today

Hi All.

What a shame for the family and friends if it is put off.

Marion

Ann what a shame for your neighbour . sounds bad were you are with the snow . Take care

Morning Barbra, son made it home but had to
hire a car as the trains were cancelled, he lives
in Elgin and were a few accidents on his way home.
Was out to get bloods done this morning and OH his
yearly M.O.T. on our local news they were
saying that the gritters and snowploughs had been out since
4am, out where I don't know cause it wasn't on the bus route
we were on very scary.
Hi Marion hope you are coping in your neck of the woods.
Ann I'm sorry to hear your news, stressful enough without
other complications.
Take care all and stay warm.

Hi Barbra and Emma.

Aberdeen area is bad as far as I know.
Been trying to see what Aviemore is like.Grandkids are going by car with other grandparents this afternoon for the weekend.

Marion

Hi Marion don't know about the A9 but A96 has
just been opened. I'm in the Aberdeen area
and the roads are terrible.

Emmax

I heard on the radio this am advising not to travel A90??? as it was really bead, cars in ditches etc.

Haven't heard anything further on A90 since that announcement,
best to look into weather site for help there.

Emmax

I just worry I'm sure they will be fine lol

Know what you mean Marion and I'm sure
they will be OK.

Emmax

We were had them camping in the summer, I suppose they could have got eaten alive by 'beasties' lol.

Anyway I'm of out to get a few last minute xmas presents.

Marion

Hello Marion . let us know iff they arrive alright ..they should be fine . bet they have a great time . little ones love the snow . Barbra x

Just back from the funeral - thank goodness it went ahead - very hairy journey though - we have now had over a foot of snow and it's still coming down - although the mountain road was closed the hotel manager arranged to ferry people to the hotel but I'm proud to say that my little Micra made the journey - the only one that did!!!

I'll let you know Barbra.

I'm glad it went ahead Ann.
Well done your wee car lol

where are you Joan?

Morning .Emma ,Ann ,Marion
had some snow overnight ,not as much as the highlands & wales .the funeral . must have been traumatic . now the lady is at rest Bless her !!
not going out today probably be chaos on the roads & shops . Take care all, keep safe Barbra xx

Morning ladies that was good news Ann, what a car.
Joan I was thinking about you and had a feeling you
would be snowed in especially in that area. Don't
suppose the farmer has offered you any help!
Marion any news on the travellers? Same here snow wise
had another covering through the night. Take care all and
stay safe and warm. lolx

Emmax

incredible here in Cardiff - we now have twice as much as we had yesterday!! beautiful sunny morning though and a spectacular scene - my cat is just looking wistfully through the window and has not ventured out yet - it will be over his head I think!!!

As you say Barbara, dear Pam from next door is now at peace

keep safe all of you
