I'm delurking to warn that Falkirk town centre is totally at a standstill and has been for nearly an hour. Three inches of compacted snow / slush and a layer of water have made the roads - literally - like skating rinks. Several accidents, and no-one getting up towards the Braes at all, so far as I can tell. OK, so we've not had any snow to speak of the last two weeks, but the Bairns know how to make the most of a moderate snowfall - and not in a good way!
