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?

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?

Seeing as a large number of motorists find roads treacherous on dry bright
and warm days, I'd probably say they are catering for the potential Darwin
award nominees amongst us!

If anyone should have came across "treacherous roads" I would have imagined
that you would have in your neck of the woods so point taken.

Heavier showers are reaching us now the wind's got up - visibility was
very poor during the last one. Radar suggests it's heading your way.
