Not looking forward to tomorrow, can't get the car out of the street. I thought we were past the worst too.

Walked home from Haymarket to Corstorphine - at least by then the snow had stopped and because there were no buses I could walk along the bus lane rather than the pavement without getting run over so it only took just over the hour. Still hard work getting up the hill at the end of it.

What's the situation through Edinburgh centre?

What's the situation through Edinburgh centre?

Buses seem to be running normally; been on three this morning. Timetables, though, might be best ignored.

Freaking cold, though.... the coldest it's been.... so ice may become an issue later.
