    very frosty this morning - having an electric car is decent as i can defrost it via my phone - turn it on 15 mins before i leave the house and the screen is clear and warm in the car.

    Windscreen covers on the cars last night for the first time this winter.
    Getting snow tyres on the front wheels today, they make a big difference.

    Looking at the latest BBC weather satellite, it looks like snow is gonna miss NE. Midlands look like they are getting worse of it.

    Where are you at mate? We are up in Ballater this week and it's fresh but plenty of blue sky.

    We are at North Third, about 5 miles outside Stirling. Beautiful blue skies and no wind, but the frost has never lifted.

    Some lovely sites around Sterling. If you into walking you should pay a visit to Dumyat. Loch Katrine is another worthwhile visit. You can take a boat out to the far end of the Loch then cycle round it, if you into your cycling.

    Thanks for that Jarca, might have a ride up to Loch Katrine later in the week, we went there many years ago when my son was a nipper. Cycling and long walks are out for me at the moment. We are just happy to be in the fresh air, hopefully up to Dunkeld tomorrow.

    I remember watching the tv at Christmas in the 70's as a kid. Freezing cold. Ice on the inside of the single glazed wooden sash windows.
    Coal fire.

    Fooking santa jet skiing onto a beach in the sun in Australia and thinking wtf. :eek:

    That's proper north east frozen water <laugh>
    I left work off 12 hour nights 11pm tonight.
    Bit of snar but the option was there.
    Snarflake modern society can have it's bonuses mate. <laugh>
    We used to have to walk through three foot of snar to go to school. Nowadays a light dusting of snar is an elf and safety risk :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>
