I heard Dollar had snow lying this am
It was snowing heavily in Loanhead as I rummaged aroung in mum's shed.
Lots of footprints in the snow as I went back and forwards

Oh the fun of the heavy traffic past Ikea!
Everything that goes on the A702 is having to go via the A701, and there's roadworks on Burdiehouse Rd and Lang Loan

There were police doing points duty at the Straiton park and ride junction, the roundabout at the bypasss junction was almost gridlocked
All in the snow!

come to think of it I could have been mistaken
They wouldn't disrupt our fair city by digging it up willy nilly

would they?

must have been an alien landing site, well where else would they get M&S Sainsbury and Ikea together?

Well, here in snowy Penicuik I feel like I'm in the eye of a storm. Even although the A702 has been closed due to a burst water main, I've been arriving at my work earlier than usual. Others have taken 2-3 hours to make a journey that usually takes an hour. However, having had a few drinks I'm not optimistic that I'll wake up early enough tomorrow to continue my run of good fortune

Anyway, if the weather turns out to be as bad as the forecast predicts I might have the perfect excuse for a duvet day

Still no snow in Porty yet, well atleast not in the street in which I live. It wasnt even that cold this morning I didnt think compared to the weekend/end of last week. Small print - But thats only my opinion.

No snow in Linlithgow either!

Not even a frost!

Was so sure we were going to wake up to a few feet of snow this morning!!!!

This was today in West Lothian - not far from ol' Spidey's web!

Mr. Arachnid and I were visiting his brother and his wife up at Slamannan, near Falkirk today. It was snowing when we left, but when we got home to Linlithgow, not a flake to be seen!!!

Must've missed us!!!!

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 18 Jan 2009, 21:53

It seemed only to fall as snow on high ground - and we were at the Korean War Memorial and the Refuge Stone from where we were unable to see the panoramic views promised by the information boards!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 19 Jan 2009, 12:28

Well, the forecasted snow is starting to fall , but the ground is so wet it's not lying

Great pic Wangi.

You should try and sell it to Terry at the Dalriada - it would be a great one for their wall.

He could buy both and then have a picture and a lovely piece of sculpture.

Linlithgow had snow too! Mr. Arachnid and I went for a walk round the loch this morning and here are some of the wintry pics I took.

Frozen Fish?

It's amazing the things you have time to do when you're off work.....

Feeling cold just looking at your pics, Spidey! I love the fact there's so many of my top ducks there ("Tufties"). There's a few who hang about The Shore* at Leith but I've not seen so many together for a while.

*I saw a Goldeneye there last week!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 10 Feb 2009, 21:35

I love the wee robin, with his feathers all puffed up.

Shame the snow disappeared so quickly. I'm pinning all my hopes on the BBC forecast, which is promises a light dusting tonight.

Think there's the odd Goldeneye in amongst that lot somewhere!!!
For long enough it was just Mallards, Coots and Swans but now there's quite a variety of birds on the loch. ( including cormorants!)

There were actually two of them! They followed us for a wee while,( Probably hoping for something to eat!!) So I was lucky enough to get a few pics! Got that little one as my " wallpaper" now as he/ she's so pretty!
No snow today Marya!!!

Just sun! At least it's drying my washing!!!

A bit more coming down now. My street is white.

Well , we've had a few wee flakes fall. Wonder if we'll get the snow that's forecast for later? According to one of the butchers in 'Findlay's' it is white in Aberdeen, so maybe it's heading our way?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 03 Mar 2009, 13:09

You go to the butchers for weather reports? -

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 03 Mar 2009, 13:31

I thought everybody did. I got some good gardening tips as well. Oh and some smoked ribs to make a big pot of lentil soup .

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 03 Mar 2009, 14:24

I normally go to Woodwares for my weather reports. They come in quite handy for other things too.
