Know what you mean about the ploughs, if there's been more than one down my road then it's been gritting with bloody snow.  98.76mm Iain are they Irish / European mm or regular Scottish ones 

Baz,

Is that your flybox under that pile of snowballs?  Looks shit out there mate!!

Ben

Is not too bad here Ben, plenty peace and quiet and the fly box is bulging!
Your true it does look shit there, the office looks better and it has a heater 

[Iain Goolager]

Kintore to Blackie crud again this morning!
Had another 98.76mm of Italian flakes again last night 

BRRRRRRRR

Yes, B977 is a bit crap.  Had to go out to get fags, milk and an evening express to light the stove with earlier on.  Road up past the golf club looks like it could be fun in my truck.  Better not go out playing as was ordered to stay home today by work.

Yep, I am also stuck at home.

My car refuses to climb anything over a 1 in 10000000 slope if there is any sign of snow, the way it is reacting to the snow, it almost looks like it must be alergic to the stuff.

Almost cost me a new drivers door today,  I very nearly altered its appearance with my walking boot this morning after an hour trying to get up the hill to the village then on to Aberdeen. 

I was very tempted to give it a good kicking.

Need to get better tyres sorted or narrower rims and narrower profile tyres.

Kev.

[Irvine Ross]

No not stuck, the joys of working from home . Just fed up shovelling tonnes of the stuff every morning so we have room to park and turn two cars. 

Herself made the journey to and from Aberdeen yesterday in her Golf with winter tyres no bother. Mind you she didn't have to go during the busy traffic period.

Be of good cheer, the snow is easing off today, but the cold looks like sticking with us for another week.

Currently minus 12 in Inverurie according to my car and the roads are "tricky"

Just went down to give Bri a lift, but the train is stuck at Dyce ..... frozen points or something near Inverurie?

Cheers

Currently minus 12 in Inverurie

That would explain why I have ice on the inside of my double glazing here then 

Not sure how cold it is here on the hill, will go check in a bit.

Just went from Oldmeldrum to Pitmedden and it showed -17. Cleared the drive when I got home and it was really nice weather to be working in.  There is something nice about a really dry cold night, kinda reminds me of Canada.

Winter tyres are the way forward!

[Matt Henderson]

You're right John. It's ace when it's cold and dry like this. Much better than cool and damp. Looking forward to Canada at Christmas time.

[Noel Kelly]

Been shovelling as well and agreed John its a nice night for a bit of manual labour. Few large mugs of mulled wine has helped as well
Granted I am not travelling far on back roads but so far the allroad has been a trooper. 4 wheel drive and adjustable ride height has been proving excellent. Dont have winter tyres but no problems so far. Its gonna be sliiiiiiddddyyyy in the morning.

[Noel Kelly]

Just checked outside. -17

[Iain Goolager]

Looking forward to a skiddy trip to Altens tomorrow 
AND one of the neighbours complained to the council and I have to knock down my igloo 

 Inuit would come to this .....................boom boom 

Iain

[Ben Dixon]

Same here Noel what temp does diesel go tits up at?

Ice on inside of letterbox in kitchen, front door handle frozen on inside, frost on walls in bathroom but all that is normal in my house in winter time.  What's not normal is the temperature in the main body of my cottage, had a new stove fitted in September, sat in shorts looking at the icicles outside my living room window.  Serious improvement over last year

Looking forward to a skiddy trip to Altens tomorrow  

Iain

At least the cream cakes in the passenger footwell will stay fresh, think of the positives Iain  

Ben

[Mike Barrio]

Pleased to hear you are warm Ben .... serious improvement on last winter!

Cheers

No snow fresh snow over night in town.  But it is brass monkeys, my nostrils froze when I was walking between the carpark and the office.
