Default How bad do things have to be to Take Action

It is still snowing in the Sidlaws. All outdoors life has ceased. We're
under about a foot of snow, I think, and yet more is coming down.

Yet the Met Office page is still warning me to "Be prepared". How bad do
things have to be before the orange turns red and I have to take action?

Not, though, that there is now any action I could take.


Dunde city buses all off the road now according to Tay FM (Suprised they
struggled on that long). Main roads in Dundee itself only usable with
extreme care. Had to help a neighbour get a car just a few yards to the
main road.

I think they'll wait until the power fails and then tell us to take
action :-)
