There was a report on the local lunch-time news about snow causing
problems north and east of Aviemore and a few road accidents with
jack-knifed trucks etc.

They mentioned on BBC Five Live that the A96 (?) was closed due to 4" of
snow! They also mentioned problems on the A9 around Slochd - I would
have thought that they'd be used to snowy weather up there!

Indeed we are, but the new, privatised snow clearing contractors are
from the South!!!
Need I say more?

1cm. of lying snow here at 0700z.
