 Klippie reminds me of this when I caught the Northern Lights and Ursa Major back in December.

Next one incoming. 

EDIT. Jeezo.

Haha funny but not funny. Imagine phoning the boss this morning to say you wouldn’t be in and why

Horrible drive to work. Had a brush with a tree thanks to the oncoming driver blinding me with his lights. Thankfully it wasn’t more on the road and has just scraped the side of the car!

Looks like it attempted the N/S runway but had to go around!

 

Just been watching that. They’ve tried to land twice now.

Back indoors after a bit of shopping, the rain is getting heavier with the roads awash with water, there's a bit of a breeze picking up too.

The wind charts are looking wild, not a pleasant night coming up.

 

Is that the bottom road coming back from Kinross?

-8 in Kelty when I left this morning at 7am. I’m now in Burntisland and it’s a tropical -2! 

A picture of the morning sky just because I love the colours.

Ok which one of you turned my snow shield off?

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

lol 

I think this is caused by me begging the snow gods to avoid Fife, simply because I’m working I’m so sorry. 
 

 

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

I’m working on Tuesday 7am - 9pm(carer) with lots of dark hill roads. I am praying I do not get stuck but will prepare for worst case scenario

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Street suddenly became busy once the snow started

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Obviously we escaped the weather warning so it is laying thick and fast. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Nice surprise to wake up to since we had no warning. Daughter got stuck as the car in front stopped so hubby now driving her to work. Picture to show the prettiness.

What is this it better no snow. Ive a big hill to drive up to get back to Kelty

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Met office must be updating the warnings. They’ve disappeared from my app. 
my bad, they’ve reappeared

Aberdeenshire council used to have a policy that said that if your school was closed due to adverse weather you had to contact your local school(s) and offer your services. Before she moved authorities my wife did that at least once, but If they still have that policy they certainly don't promote it amongst their teaching staff these days. It may even have applied to their employees in other services too. Much easier just to close now, it's the uncertainty, can't have a school full of kids (who live closer) and virtually no staff (who tend  to have to commute).

I have already contacted my boss (I am local authority) about plans for Friday IF we have a lot of snow and she has told me that I will work in my home area instead of driving outwith. It means I can walk from house to house instead. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Thought I’d pop on and show my photos from Kelty 

 

 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Every app on my phone says it’s rain today but it is chucking it down with snow

 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Just on to report it is currently snowing in Kelty. Merry Christmas  

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Current accumulation. Have given the youngest a snow day as my house on a hill and already emergency services out to an accident here. Have convinced middle child to start work later - she is the manager but has to drive up to Perth. M90 not great at Glenfarg etc 

Heavy snow on atm 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Working all day tomorrow in Burntisland.  Need to get home to Kelty at 9:30pm so have packed a bag with extra jumpers, socks, boots and high viz. hopefully won’t need them

[Scotland Weather discussion]

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Heavy snow on with nice big flakes and laying quickly. Thankfully I am off today and watching from the comfort of a warm home.

Really nervous about any snow that might be coming this month. As a carer who needs to drive I hope any snow falls on my days off
