More on the snow

This is how much snow fell in 4 hours, about an inch an hour. Pretty impressive and apparently totally un-noticed by the South Lanarkshire roads department which did not manage to field a snow plough or a gritter until some considerable time after they were needed. Maybe all the appliances were involved in freeing up the M74 at Abington which was brought to a complete halt by the weather conditions. Who knows. Much more likely it was just an almighty administrative mess.
