Default Still snowed in in Dundee

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!


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.

I'm like Alan. I am supposed to have been in Edinburgh two days
ago. The main road is clear of snow, but although neighbours
with 4x4/fwd/snow tyres have been able to get out and in again,
I haven't a hope (rwd/ordinary tyres) of getting up the slight
slope. No hope of a plough; it's garden bins, not household
bins, tomorrow so they will almost certainly not bother.

No new snow overnight last night.
