I knew the minute I wrote yesterdays post that I was tempting fate & sure enough the weather came in and bite my bum.
It started at 7 am this morning , carried on until about 9.30 am & has dumped 2 inches of the dreaded stuff on us. Yes it has snowed, with some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen. Went out at half eight to clear the drive & no sooner had I shovelled one strip down the drive & looked back to see it had nearly covered that clearance. I think the shot below will show you what I mean, first plough down showed tarmac but see how that had filled in.
The main problem is at weekends we are low on the rota for the road to be cleared by the council snow plough, week days it is cleared as the school bus has toi pick the pupils from up the glen up. So of course we always get a good dump of snow at weekends, so it is left to us “old un’s” to clear the road. It has now stopped & the sun is trying to come out , so better get at it.
