Still snowing hard at 11.55 with 4-5 cm so far, have had snow for last 5
days now. Each morning 1-2 cm of powder snow melting on sunfacing surfaces
in the pm, today has been the heaviest.

By the by, is it me or are the MO now providing an increasing "service"
for motorists?


No, I think you are correct. All other road users are neglected or barely
mentioned. Pedestrians... cyclists... they don't count.


It seems that more and more of each forecast is taken up with witterings
about roads, generally exceptionally over-inflated warnings - the word
trecherous is the favourite. I wonder if anyone on the ng has driven on a
treacherous road recently - I havent in the 3 years I have been in
Aberfeldy?


I've seen some treacherous drivers on roads that, with due care and
attention, are perfectly fine even though they have snow & ice on them. I
was driving on such roads on Monday and the number of brainless morons
(often in BMWs, Audis, and various rep-mobiles) who think that it's safe to
do 60 on a winding country lane covered in snow, slush & ice constantly
amazes me. It shouldn't, but it does.
