She was in the town by 3pm. Husband not long back from town, Woodbank corner is apparently VERY slippy. Don't think grit will help tonight :(

This is our road which a neighbour used his JCB to clear away some of the snow....we have gritted it ourselves further up the hill but there is no way I would chance taking the car I have been stuck 3 times already this winter...I walked down yesterday with a pram and it was horrendous so I will be quite happy if the schools are off tomorrow ..... :D :D

CGS will be open in the morning. I was up today and the access road is pretty much OK, so long as there are no further problems overnight, and the janitors have cleared access around the buildings and gritted the path down to the buses. There's no snow forecast on either Met Office or XC Weather, though they vary as to temperature, the one showing -6 at 0900 and the other +2. We should be OK for the morning as the main roads look to be OK. There may be issues with the roads round the back of the hills at Southend and maybe also Gobagrennan, but that would affect a very small minority of pupils and only one member of staff. Just for interest, the 'minority' of pupils, by which I assume ultraviolet means the country ones, amounts to over 40% of the roll. Roughly a third of the staff come from the country areas.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get round the next two bends I managed to get the car into a space in front of the Hutcheon Road houses and abandoned it there.


Try to pay attention, that boy!

As far as I am aware no buses were cancelled so the roads were passable, maybe not very nice to travel in but passable.


Incorrect. No marks.

I think that it is ridiculous that the schools are closed because of snow, i personally know that 87% of ctowns population have access to snow chained monster trucks and there is no excuse not to go in :D
