Well Paul did you predict this?
Main roads seem to be ok so will still go to Arbroath to Dads today..should have more pics later..this is 8am :)

View of front garden just before we set off, aftering having cleared the car and path.

Leaving Dunfermline

Still snowy but leading into fog

Bad fog

Very low over the hills

Then a few miles up the road the fog disappeared aswell as the snow! SUn came out too :)

I love the snow. Just that it is so cold slippery with the ice and frozen sludgie stuff, and causes chaos. Apart from that I enjoy loooking at the white all around and watching it fall. To be honest though, as it lasts so long I do get fed up wth it. Until next year that is. LOL.

I did lol..added more pics :)
Yeah Sticki I looked at traffic Scotland this mornig but half the cameras were off!
Better tell you lot what happened to me tho.silly lucky me.
On the road from Dundee to Arbroath there is quite a long stretch of road which is 40mph which most people dont understand as there are no houses direclty besdie or anything.....anyway...most people drive 50-60mph usually, and because we were late (Sarah's fault) ok so I was speeding..was just thinking to myslef I should slow down when oh no...too late ..I saw two cops with their speed guns waving me down...pulled over..oh dear my heart was racing. I ggot out the car and said 'I know..I know..I'm sorry its just am trying to get to my Dads as he is ill' He looked at me for a second ( i jsut knew I was gonna get off with it)
He asked if he was in hospital I said no but he was and is out now and I have to look after him ( prolly bent the truth or made it sound like he had only jsut got oout!)
He said sorry but look..and he showed me the gun reading 57mph! I said ok I'm sorry but will it take long I really need to get to him as quick as I can..he looked at me ( I think I fluttered my eyelashes a tad lol) then said Ok I will let you off with a warning fro now..dont do it again now go to your Dad and drive safe!
I was never so relieved and will not be speeding again...ever! but I still think its silly having 40mph there as do lots of folk..oh well..I am so lucky and if that cop should happen to come oin here I jsut want to say thank you and Merry Christmas! :)
