Anyway, once Ciaran saw how much there actually was he knew there would be no time off school, or even a chance for a snowball fight. Of course East Kilbride would be different and he knew it and wasn't pleased. I told him I would take some pictures for him.
East Kilbride, like Troon, has its own little micro-climate. Sadly, it tends to be miserable most of the time. Today was no exception. We had snow and sun but no disruption (except for the project managers who all buggered off early, some by 11 am). The view from my pod was suitably wintry though...
By the end of the day, some of the snow was actually lying, and before I could leave I had to clear the car off.
Luckily I wasn't down south. This amount of snow would have left the car completely trapped in the car park - I would have driven around for a while before sliding into the only lamp post of course. But we are a hardier bunch here in Scotland. I simply cleared all the snow off the car (that's all the snow so that none slides down the window when I'm driving or off into the following car's windscreen - that's care for me and courtesy for others), got in and drove off carefully (ie not sliding into the only lamppost).All in all the journey took the same amount of time as usual.
