Beast from the East

[Thecat23]

Gilmerton Primary for me, just up the road from you lads - I cant remember wearing shorts apart from at PE - was that just a weird Moredun thing :greengrin:greengrin

p.s. Blizzard now in EH9

Haha I never wore grey short maybe before my time. In fact that’s a lie I had them on in the pic of my first day but can’t mind wearing them again. Remember doing P.E. In my pants when I forgot my stuff.

[snooky]

First ever red alert for snow. Getting home is going to be a mare

Say nae mare. :greengrin

The beast from the east is worse than the pest from the west.

Just the swinging 60's fashion (1965). Soon got a pair of long trousers with duffel coat wooden buttons and various colours of balaclavas knitted by my aunties (even a red one). No fashion police then.

[Since90+2]

Snow absolutely hammering it down just now in South East Edinburgh.

Heavy snow now in East Edinburgh.

Just shows how localised the snow is. Still no new snow coverings “doon by the watter” here in Leith.
Maybe it’s on its way.:confused:

[greenlex]

It’s a bit wintery up here. Not that unusual but Lots of drifting.:snowman

[hibby6270]

Slightly off topic but who remembers when it snowed mid June? Around 74/75? Got let away early from school that day. Magic!!

My first year at Uni. Think it would therefore be summer 1975.After a heavy sesssion came out of our flat near the Rag Doll in Stockbridge at about 10am (getting up time for students) and opened the door to a snowstorm . I looked behind me to see if I wasn’t still in bed and dreaming. A very bizarre feeling.

[matty_f]

blizzards again in Dunfermline. Tesco delivery van just got stuck in the street for a wee while there. Son's gone out the back garden with a football and his Hibs top on. Ball is now in neighbour's snow-covered garden.

I've not been much of a hat wearer in the past, but I have just been given my first proper "bunnet" like my grandad used to wear.

I was quite looking forward to it getting its first outing.

[Mr Grieves]

Edinburgh council staff have been told to go home now and not come back until the red warning has been lifted, whichis 10AM tomorrow. I reckon the schools will be closed tomorrow too.

All schools in Edinburgh closed tomorrow also.....

Edinburgh council staff have been told to go home now and not come back until the red warning has been lifted, whichis 10AM tomorrow. I reckon the schools will be closed tomorrow too.

These are Tweets from Scotrail:
🔴 In areas where the RED weather warning applies, customers should head for home NOW. There will be NO train services in the RED weather warning area tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning.


🔴 As a result of the Met Office warning, services in the RED area will begin to wind down this afternoon in the best interests of our customers and staff. Safety is central to this decision.

I am officially an idiot. My boss, looking out the window goes, "you better just head home now, in case your bus is stopped."

I go, "nah they never cancel the buses, they even ran in 2010 in the bad snow" :brickwall:brickwall:brickwall

I am going to have to go with the red alert angle and see if I can get away early. I wish I could engage my brain before my mouth starts :rolleyes:

Pretty much constant snowfall + drifting down here in the Borders. Been at it since yesterday evening. A brief lull around 1145 then back to full-on radge dumping from 1215. Another lull due around 2000hrs and then continuous snowfall from 0200 in the morning until 1900 Thursday night.

Jan 2011 was the last time we had this much of the white *****. Storm-bound for 3 days.

The pitch at Easter Road will be perfectly playable tonight. I agree the game should be cancelled due to the warnings from the met office, but this isn’t even a quarter as bad as it was in 2010. Services are being cancelled due to the warnings, not for what we already have.

Theres some but its hardly worth mentioning. The bins were put out this morning and have a light dusting on them.

My daughter was born at the end of October 2010. We were practically house bound for about a month. The heating broke as well, and it took them 4 days to come out and fix it. We were huddled together in one room with a couple of electric heaters I had went and bought. I’m sure we got compensation from Scottish Gas for it.

:agree: Drove in to Edinburgh from Dalkeith around 2.30 and coming the other way was a slowly crawling queue from Minto Street to Gilmerton. The drivers all had that "I'm so glad the boss sent us all home at 2" look on their faces. A few cyclists gently wheeching past the line.

To be fair I don't ACTUALLY stay in Falkirk so I'm ok. :greengrin

[ekhibee]

We have to remember, though it maybe OK in Edinburgh. For Hamilton coming over it's a different story. Took me an hour to go from Renfrew to Parkhead at 6:30 this morning when it normally takes 20 minutes at that time of day. The M74 was closed and the M8 through the city was scary going. From reports, the East Kilbride and Hamilton areas are virtually no go zones.
I for one was dreading the trip through tonight as the weather's only going to get worse. If the game was still on I probably would have not travelled as there really is no point in risking crashing or being stranded for a game of football.
Just hope it's not played on 14th March as that's the one Wednesday I can't do.
Yep, I stay in EK and it's been horrendous, it's definitely not safe here and nobody should be driving in it at all. Hamilton's the same, I was meant to be going for a job interview at 2pm but the interviewer's from Hamilton and she said not to bother, it'll be rearranged.

Bypass is now closed according to radio forth.

For all those folk that say its nothing:

Folk that live out of town are having to walk home

A woman my wife knows left work at 1pm in Frederick Street and has just reached Gilmerton Morrison's and still has to walk home to the top end of Bonnyrigg.

A bit of compassion for your fellow man (woman) wouldn't go amiss instead of bleating about how your plans have been altered and the weather is fine your way.

No-one is saying theres no compassion. I suspect most of us have been at the sharp end of public transport cancellations. I know I'd rather be inside than out.
They are allowed to state facts when the weather they have is far from the impending doom that it was forecast to be.

Still cars and trucks on the bypass now, but that might be the remaining ones that were on it before it was blocked off.

[johnbc70]

Why did she walk fom Frederick street to Gilmerton when there are buses running?

I am guessing it's because the bus would be moving at a snails pace. I ended up getting off my bus and walking as it was moving 100 feet every 20 minutes.

[Pretty Boy]

Seems to be the south and west of Edinburgh getting it worst. I left work in Leith at 3, was in Newcraighall by 3.40. Roads were quiet and with a bit care driving was fine. Currently looking out at a big patch of blue sky and no snow for about an hour. Kids out playing and people walking dogs and so on.

A few miles away they are closing the Bypass and a few folk I know have said it's taken them hours to travel around the Gyle, Colinton, Fairmilehead and so on. I suppose being that bit closer to the sea must make all the difference.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Anyone of our meteorologists able to compare versus the disruption we faced in Embra in 2010?

Things seem more organised this time. In 2010 it seemed liked they just reacted to the situation when it was too late. This time the warnings have been put out early and everyone has been sent home. It remains to be seen if it was completely necessary or effective.

[hibsbollah]

I drove from Fort Kinnaird to Bollah Towers, Blackford, earlier this afternoon. It took me fourteen hours, I was accosted by three caribou, a pack of wild hunting dogs and a group of ned emperor penguins. There was a water spout, a volcano and a tsunami as well as all the snow. I'm now relaxing with a 1985 Cheval Blanc and a beef bourguignon. I blame the council, it's a disgrace.

Police closed the road this afternoon. My son was trying to get home from work. Took an hour to get to asda from the alba centre and had to abandon his car at the civic centre and walk an hour and a half in the blizzards. Normally takes 15 mins to get home.

Collateral damage.
But Stadium being used as a holding pen for folks unable to get home to East Lothian and the Borders (joke*).

* although I did see someone on social media through in the West opening up his gym for folks that are homeless.

I did wonder about the guy in the park at Regents Road presume he got picked up and sheltered (think he was ill recently and kind folks were trying to persuade him to go indoors / get treatment ) I couldn’t quite make out his usual bench that would have been impossible to bear overnight.

Hope he’s safe and sound.

Remember to call in or phone elderly folks to make sure they’re ok and stocked up with supplies...

I'm so glad I made the decision to stay at home this morning. Reading some of the stories on here and watching it all on the news really sounds horrendous.

I was thinking about starting to walk and see how it was. If it was ridiculous I'd turn back.

The more I think about it though the more I think I might be being a bit daft doing that. Not that I see myself in any real danger, I've walked and climbed in worse, but more because I can't see many others being in and the thanks will probably be a bit limited.

Absolutement. I aced it, slow cooker job. No school tomorrow so I get piled into the rich food and booze. I used the trauma of walking through 'The Beast' as justification to Mrs Bollah.

[lord bunberry]

I had to walk from my house to Asda earlier to buy vodka. It was a harrowing experience. I had to wear a jacket I hadn’t worn for years and the spirit isle in Asda is near the end of the store and I was wearing a woolly Peruvian hat. I was sweating like a hearts fan in a nursery. Super Leigh was in there as well. He wasn’t sweating though as he didn’t have a woolly Peruvian hat on.

Likewise. I usually walk and it takes me about 30 mins. There’s people who live closer than me who would never dream of walking in any conditions. They’ll not be in tomorrow until at least after the alert has been downgraded because they’ll just say they always get the bus and can’t possibly walk to work. So I’ll be doing the same.

That free kick at the end to win the game was a peach from Deeks, Lennon just speaking to the press and saying that he met Deek up Arthur seat when they were out for a jog, they are both up for a snowball fight, just don't hit Neil.

That goal celebration was brilliant but I'm worried Deeks might get a ban for running up to Neil Lennon and impersonating a referee sending Lennie to the stand. Neil defo should not have done the swearing back at Deeks and sarcastic clapping thing either.

We need at least one of them in the dugout. Lennon just isn't a stand manager and Deeks needs game time, especially if they're going to keep him in that central defensive pairing with Lewis.

The undersoil heating will be on, the areas around the stadium are gritted and clear with the main snow fall forecast from 9pm onward on Wednesday with coastal areas of the Forth on the very southern fringe of anticipated snow fall area after 9pm. Edinburgh not due to get the really heavy snow until Thursday.

Game will be on but if you judge the underfoot conditions too risky listen to game on radio.

I still think we won’t get much snow in Edinburgh. The amount of amber warnings we have had and nothing happens. If it does happen tonight I’ll be shocked and if the games off I’ll take my son sledging.first time I've heard of a shocked sledger.:rolleyes:

[monktonharp]

I've never understood why this happens. I've seen games cancelled by the police because of difficult driving conditions on several occasions in Scotland. I've never seen it happen in England. So a game with an expected crowd of say 5k gets cancelled for safety reasons. Meanwhile tens of thousands are going shopping, theatre, pubs etc. The police don't shut M & S down
( nor for rugby ), why is football treated differently?M &S Was shut very early yesterday in the biggest retail park in Scotland . my missus works there, at Kinnaird Park Edin.

I posted much earlier on this thread, about the beast from the east, I said that the forecasters were usually good these days and therefor I would not even think about going to the game, which I predicted was not happening anyway. not trying to be a smartass in any way but I did find it rather silly that many on here were unable to heed the warnings of the weather forecasters. I look out my window now , and see about 5 inches of snow over the vehicles. we new it was coming.a bit hard on those who have lost out in monetary terms and arrangements for travel, hotels etc

About 6 for me. Half way there now. Left Newcraighall at 6.50, taken in a bit of Niddrie, Bingham, Mountcastle, Northfield and now coming up for Lochend and there's been no snow bar a 2 minute flurry. Few layers, a hat and some gloves and walking in urban areas is a doddle.

My work sent a text saying make your own decision.

Based on the conditions and the fact I likr walking in the snow I decided to go in. I've not walked anywhere so far where the snow is much more than about 12-15cm, maybe slightly higher where it's drifted. I walk to work at least twice a week anyway so it's no big deal really. It's the people outside the city who I feel sorry for.
