Four days into November, and to my absolute amazement we still haven’t seen the snow in the north east of Scotland. Not that I’m missing it in this case. Generally when we see the snow up here, everything grinds to a holt. In very serious cases they have to close the local roads to traffic, because they are either impassable or just to dangerous.
When the photo above was taken it began to make me think of the importance of having a 4x4 vehicle, not the best terrain for family cars. Then saying that if you had a set of skies you would have great fun.
Well you can’t see much ahead, this photo was taken when the drifts had formed across the road, meaning there wasn’t even a way ahead for the 4x4. Trying to walk to the top of the road was a task in itself, cold and wet, all I wanted to do was sit in front of the open fire and watch telly.
