The Courier is already reporting Fife and Dundee councils are cutting their grit with sand to eke it out a bit further, and are running out at an alarming rate.

British Gas have issued a gas balancing order I believe as demand rises through the roof.

Some England based courier companies refuse to deliver anything to Scotland in case their drivers get stuck.

We had a guy and a JCB come and scrape the estate I live on and all he did was scrape the new snow off, down to the ice . The local council warned him if he damaged the road surface he would be liable for its repair.

The world is totally mad.

But, bless my papergirl she got through before I was even up this morning. Must be Christmas tip time lol.
