It needed a JCB. You can still see the tine marks from the JCB bucket at various places on the road into Broughton. I've a great video of that day somewhere.
Hi Shuggee, I'm 2 miles south of Broughton as well - we must be close neighbours (well, as close as rural areas can be). Bitterly cold right enough and snow not melting now,
Pete
Hasn't stopped snowing all day here (A701 between Broughton and Moffat). Temp dipping now and road slowly turning white. We've around 5in which does't seem much for the amount of snow coming down. Luckier than some on here I guess...
Just measured snow in back garden here just south of Broughton on A701 and we've got a smidge under 9in of snow lying. Didn't expect that today! Folks at work in Livingston think I'm making it up.......
