Only half a mile from here there's almost nothing to speak of, but we're higher up the hillside than most of our neighbours and only on the very edge of the snow showers affecting central Scotland today. It's supposed to get 'worse' tonight, apparently, so we shall see what the dawn brings.

The school bus was replaced with a Land Rover this morning, which didn't quite make up for the loss of a potential day off.
That's how it's been in Newcastle ,we should have about 3ft of snow on the ground not 3inch given the amount that fell but it has been thawing as it falls ,but the temp has dropped now so it is starting to build up ,up at Consett they have 3-4ft on the ground
