As winter progresses

From The Evening Times:
"The continued blizzards today came as the coldest night of the winter saw temperatures plummet to -20°C in Altnaharra, in the Highlands. In Glasgow it was -5°C.


Air travel was also seriously affected.
Edinburgh Airport was closed and early morning flights were affected at Glasgow Airport.
Due to weather problems in south England some flights were cancelled. Glasgow Airport was also handling diverted flights from Edinburgh.
Snow also hit Gatwick Airport, which was closed today and will also be shut tomorrow, leaving thousands of travellers stranded.


There was widespread disruption on the railways, with a number of ScotRail services cancelled. Motherwell and Cumbernauld services were suspended while the Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh line remained a half hourly service. Early trains from Stirling to Glasgow were cancelled.
Trains from Glasgow to England were all running, but with some delays."
The much dreaded time of the year has come! The first snowfall was fantastic, but more snowfall after that is becoming a nuisance. The thing I am not looking forward to is a further drop in the temperature outside. Reading that the Highlands has reached -20 degrees, it is possible for it to be this cold in Glasgow too....
The good thing about winter is that it does not tempt me to go out as much ;)
