This story was total horses**t as i thought. Confirmed by plod on the news tonight. Facebook rumour mill gone nuts as usual.

I wondered about this too when i got loads of texts about it yesterday so i googled it and couldnt find anything online about it. Its common sense to clear the car of snow tho and I wouldnt be surprised if the police are stopping cars!

Snow Pics then from the North Face of the Everest (Not really, It's Lochgelly. But you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference.)

Guess the Cars

And Again

The fresh snow on the right here is about 18" deep

Despite the clear drive this hasn't moved since Sunday

Snowman awaiting completion.....or burial, whichever comes first

Day 5 in the Snow Brother House

Only a little more snow overnight, but now at silly levels.
The snow plough came around again and piled more snow at the end of my drive - cars definitely aren't going anywhere now

I want it to go away now. I spent 1 hour 15 mins this morning just getting out of my driveway in the van (which normally goes everywhere)

2 or 3 inches of solid ice then some more inches of hard packed snow then some more flippin inches of powder snow. If it wasn't for 2 neighbours pushing me to block the road and get in the way of a 4x4, I wouldn't have gotten out at all.

The 4x4 really wanted in and so had to tow (drag) me to roads that had seen some salt and out of his way. to the 4x4 driver.

Have I mentioned that I want it to go away now !!!

Couldn't agree more. I am emigrating for a week to warm back up.
Could the committee please arrange for all snow to be away for my
return on Friday 10th.

Unfortunately I have not boarded my 17.30 flight at EDI yet however
even if I miss my connection in Paris at least I will be out of EDI.

Blackie has been valeted today all ready for the sun that you arrange
for upon my return. I promise to distribute club fliers to the 3 other
E92 M3s in my area once Blackie is back on the road as a thankyou.

Smile!

Apparently this is a hot topic on Radio 2, Chris Evans reported this morning that the AA confirm via a police source that it is actually true but they have been advised to use discretion as to the severity of the risk of the snow displacing and causing a hazzard to other motorists.

I personally dont have to worry as my van is clear.

In the words of Rolf Harris....."Can you tell what it is yet??"

New style spoiler......

Not even attempted to move any of the cars, will clear them both out on Saturday no doubt.
