Sorry John, I should have added the disclaimer that my comments only apply to Edinburgh and the Lothians - Where its bright, sunny and FREEZING this morning, snow is forecast to start around lunchtime and continue to fall till tomorrow night here... we wait with baited breath! According to facebook ...

We had 2-3inches on Sunday night, and another inch today. Everyone is at work as normal- if you can get to a main road it'll be fine. I walked my bike to the top of our hill and rode in quite happily. Apart from frozen hands despite 2 pairs of gloves! and the fact that my gear cables appear to have ...

BBC predicted heavy rain here over night... its -5C so guess what fell instead of rain. Yup, more snow. Its just started, so we'll wait till morning and see what its like out there. I need to go to the lab again for my last couple of hours of 2009, so it could be another interesting drive (Bex has b...

MORE snow fell in Edinburgh this morning only a couple of inches... the roads up here are AWFUL!! We nearly didn't make it to the supermarket (5mins in the car), because it landed so fast that the whole city turned white! We're off to go for a wander in the winter wonderland this afternoon. Which wi...

et me know what the game is like, although I won't hold my breath on that one as we are still waiting on an F1 2009 review. Al. I can report from the games geeks at the lab- CoD: Modern Warfare on Xbox is possibly the best game EVER! Certain members of staff (naming no names) "worked from home...

I got SuperMario 3 from the wii console shop thing.
Its Super Mario 3. and cost £5. Nuff said.

World of Goo (From wii console thingy).- it lost a star for being too short, but at £10 its a small grumble.
Structural engineering with Goo. Unstable.

I've just got Call of Duty: Modern Warfare... review to follow, it looks AWESOME. I just need more free time to play it!

Now the snow looks like it is over Not here its not!! 4inches of fresh snow fell in the night... another has fallen since 10am. The ride to work was GREAT!! All the car drivers are terrified of crashing, whereas I'm LESS worried about falling off- there's a soft layer of snow to land in! So I was p...

Not meaning to be smug at all... but here goes anyway... Why Scotland doesn't stop for snow.

you'll all be pleased to hear that we're safely back on the proper side of the border now... NOT the most enjoyable drive I've ever done, the M6 had a lane closed from just south of tebay all the way up to gretna- it was being used as somewhere to pile all the snow plowed off the other lanes. We cou...

Edinburgh: It started snowing around 2200 on wednesday night- I was walking back from the pub. ;-) Snowed more or less constantly yesterday, but didn't REALLY start to stick till 2100, when the temperature dropped noticeably. Woke up this morning to a 1inch layer everywhere, the roads (especially th...
