The usual blame game was played out in the Scottish parliament
yesterday re the "snow chaos" in the Central Belt on Monday. The interesting part of it was the quoted snowfall from that morning event. 10cm at Edinburgh 12cm Livingston 20 cm widely in south Lanarkshire 30cm East Kilbride all quoted by the First Minister. having spent the first 10 years of my life in EK I was very pleased that it won! On a serious note it is rather ridiculous that we have no obs from large swathes of the central belt (Stirling etc). is it too hard to have hourly obs from all areas with over say 30k population - is that too much to ask in 2010? brian aberfeldy |

And with over 8,000 hits in the last 2 weeks, the website is more popular than ever. There's also Salsburgh, but it's data never seems to be available online until the end of the month. And I note the First minister didn't even mention the county that was hardest hit by the chaos - right up until today. Namely North Lanarkshire! Clearly the forgotten land. All main roads are finally back to normal and minor roads are drivable with care. All thanks to the weather and no thanks to the council. From 42cm on Monday evening, it's dwindled down to 14cm this evening. A pretty rapid thaw today in Wishaw. North Lanarkshire. Alex |

Alex Indeed, us sole traders on the meteorological front plough a lone furrow! 14,000 hits so far in December up here ;o) I was listening to the First Minister half expecting him to "big up" the wishaw massive, but alas no! brian aberfeldy river roaring with snow melt |

Clearly the forgotten land. No, surely that accolade goes to Clackmannshire. Although I'm not altogether sure where either of them are. From 42cm on Monday evening, it's dwindled down to 14cm this evening. We still have 25. I wonder if there will be a snow-cover free day before the next lot? -- Trevor Lost in Lundie, near Dundee www.trevorharley.com |
