After three hours the car is free and down by Lundie church hall, so IF

still open ... I never thought I'd look so much forward to shopping!)
As far as I know Kingsway Tesco is open - not that I can get near it.
I'm only about 100 yards from a main road but that might as well be 10
miles. Supposedly there is a snow plough scheduled for tomorrow morning
before the binmen try an get up the street. I suspect neither turn up
and we'll try and dig out ourselves again later. It's really horrible
thick wet snow which is now freezing. Even just getting about 8 inches
off the car roof took major effort!
Still very few cars on the roads and even they slide to a halt every
time a big snow shower comes through.

I think, paradoxically, it CAN be easier to get out in the country.
Clean snow, much more space to manoeuvre, and if I skid I don't have to
worry about smashing into my neighbour.

My plan for later tomorrow morning is either to go to Kingsway or
Riverside via Kingsway, both via Birkhill and the A923. I'm optimistic.
I hope so because I'm almost out of organic sultanas for my blackies.
