Snow alert for Lothians

Published on Saturday 4 February 2012 12:00

The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for snow for parts of Scotland today.

It said that Lothian and Borders was likely to be affected by sleet and snow, warning that accumulations of between two and five centimetres were likely, mainly on ground above 150 metres, with 10cm on roads above 300 metres.

Transport Minister Keith Brown MSP said: “Transport Scotland, Traffic Scotland and our resilience team are in contact with the Met Office, police, road operating companies and rail operators to ensure that adequate preparations are in place.”

How did we manage all those years ago without all these amber and red warnings, we thought it was just weather.The cynical in me makes me think the more they make us worry about weather the easier to introduce green taxes.............. They wouldn't do that...would they?

#1 You must have the weirdest wellyboots I've ever seen if they have a tread of 5cm (2 inches)! You'll never need to worry about them failing the MOT on tread depth!

2-5cm? The depth of (good) wellyboot treads! Why does Britain always go into a blind panic at the fist sign of snow?
