Guest Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It's still around about -8 here - the frost is thick, as is the freezing fog. The pavement and roads are thick with black ice, and the lot of us skidded and skited down to the school this morning. Must go take a photo of the frost for you all...

Louise Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I didn't really see the ice this morning Shona as I left the house at 6.15 but I was sooooooo careful up to the main road I didn't want to end up in the tweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Too right Louise - that bit of road is dicey at the best of times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 We've been gritted now, but it's still like an ice-rink. I'ce just had a phone call from the garage to say that the car is ready to be collected, but it's in Hawick, and chookiehubbie is going to have to drive me there in the morning, over the sliding, icy roads.

Egluntyne Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It is really cold here. I'm sitting at the computer with a scarf round my neck. The weatherman earlier forecast snow for parts of Scotland and some high areas in the North of England. That'll be us then. As long as it doesn't prevent my daughter getting home for Christmas.

feemcg Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 We've got a severe weather warning for the morning - rain falling on frozen ground, turning to ice, preceded by snow - bet I don't get any , then it's back to milder, wet and windy for Christmas.
