First Snow of Winter 2011





We awoke to the first snowfall in Scotland of the winter.
Not much...an inch or so, but enough to cause some disruption. The Scottish Government is determined that there will be no re run of last winter, when hundreds of folk were trapped overnight on one of the main routes between Glasgow and the East coast.

As I write, it is below freezing point outside and it is snowing again. Of course at the end of October I found myself in 10 inches of snow in Pennsylvania. There was no traffic disruption there, but there were power outages as trees brought down overhead power cables. Here in the UK most power lines to homes are underground, unlike North America.

We will see how we fare tomorrow if the snow keeps up.

Some more St. Andrews photos.
