The sky was clear at 06.00 and by 07.30 Edinburgh had an unusually large snowfall (4 to 5 inches). Early morning road chaos ensued but those of us with time could walk in gorgeously crisp snow.
My son drove into Edinburgh today and has just returned reporting many fairly major roads are ungritted and treacherous. Fortunately he managed to avoid hitting anything. I myself had a close call in steep Infirmary Street yesterday, taking what I thought was a nifty shortcut but nearly coming a cropper on what was basically an ice rink. They used to grit such streets when I lived in Edinburgh (18 years ago).

Beautiful, beautiful snow.

THe snow looks beautiful and I am sure great to walk in... until it is trodden in and becomes an ice rink! Happy Christmas!
