Snow!

I was under the impression that the reason why a lot of the schools close is because of health and safety - in case a small child falls and their parents sue. Same reason why a lot of the football matches get postponed, despite having a perfectly playable pitch, certainly up here.

The heavy snow is back in G66!

Wasn't too bad yesterday, we had 9" as of last night.

I've just cleared all that off the car as we are waiting on a new battery being delivered for it (was meant to come yesterday but delayed due to snow!) and now it has come on really heavy again and this is the forecast for next 24 hours :O

We've prob got 3/4 inches here in Derby - thought i'd get called into work what with people not being able to get in/schools being off but apparently we shut at 11.30 as the road to work is a death trap (we're at the bottom of an industrial estate, down a steep hill with a sharp bend!)

Well I'm still in Edinburgh, good times. My flight has been cancelled and transferred 5 times now. I'm on the 15.20 tomorrow, but if the forecast is correct, it could be another day of closure at Edinburgh Airport. I'm not particularly bitter about it, I'm missing work and it will cost me annual leave/many long days too make up, but it's all pretty funny innit. And I do sympathise with the airport staff, it just doesn't stop snowing long enough for them to do anything about it!

Forecast looks a bit more optimistic Friday, so I should get a flight then. I actually have a feeling it won't snow that much tonight/tomorrow, so maybe I will be home in 24 hours... :unsure:

Forecast has improved over the last few hours, too.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
