Deep Snow/Drifts of March 2013 v Feb/Mar 2018

Up until the end of February/beginning of March 2018, the benchmark for deep snow and drifting probably goes to March 2013.

SCOTLAND: Today’s ‘low level’ snow forecast was a bust! What about tomorrow & Thursday?

I can’t deny that yesterday’s snow forecast for overnight and this morning was a complete bust at low levels. There was nothing when I had thought there would be a lot. Certainly further north and higher roads further south didn’t escape. Snow disrupts flights at #Inverness Airport, travel on #A9 and #A82 and also shuts […]
