Severe Storms Sweep Across Scotland

Aye - it is a bit draughty; but the Met Office have only put it out as an "Amber" warning which most people just ignore as it is "be prepared" rather than "take action". I suppose that most people can't convince their employers that "be prepared" means that they should work from home rather than take the risk travelling to work.

Excellent point, Lime. Since we are expected to get our first "real" snowfall accumulation tomorrow due to the fast approaching storm, and along with all of the rain we've had today that will surely freeze tonight, more than likely I will be working from home on Friday. Even if my employer keeps our office open for business, I'm staying home if the weather is complete crap. There's no bloody point in risky your neck in the ice and snow, not to mention trying to keep away from all of the idiotic drivers that think they are invincible with their 4-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes. Both of which are completely useless when it comes to ice! No thank you. I think I'll stay home and watch the snowfall from my window, whilst enjoying a good book and a wee dram or two.
