Vinnie Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Im sure everybody has already heard that all Fife Schools are shut in the morning and that Fife Circle trains are cancelled, all because some snow is forecast.Have we really gone that soft that a little snow brings the world to an end?

Salvo Montalbano Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Dunfermline isn't too bad - I could have got into school OK I reckon - but Falkirk and Stirling seem to have it pretty bad and staff at schools come from all over. A lot of pupils also come by bus, and while they might get in they might not be able to get home. It doesn't help that a lot of motorists don't seem to know how to drive in snow. That's what causes accidents and blocks roads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what causes accidents and blocks roads etc.Let me correct that for you.... "It doesn't help that a lot of motorists are idiots and don't drive to suit conditions in the snow". For the most part, bus routes and main roads are pretty clear from what Ive seen. Folk have been well warned about this weather, leave for work early, get a bus for the commute if youre too scared to drive. Get out of bed half an hour earlier, check the reports and the travel apps. Have a plan B. The country doesn't need to shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 To be fair it's been pretty bad all day since I posted that with several inches of snow lying. Major bus routes seem OK at the moment but the other roads even those that are minor bus routes are really treacherous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Regardless of what folk say I watched the weather reports and listened for once regarding travel.The snow has been on here since 6.30 when I got up this morning. This is to go on for another 30 hours or so.A907 closed toward Carnock-Oakley at the moment. No one should be surprised given we were warned.

Guest The Beer Baron Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yet some people still find themselves completely amazed when winter weather hits. Does my nut in, it's good to check the forecast every few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does my nut in, it's good to check the forecast every few days.I think we live in a world where we have so many news sources that they all wanting to capture the headlines that everything is sensationalised. With all the exaggeration of trivial matters, when they really do need to share important details, folk dont treat it which the attention it deserves.

Guest The Beer Baron Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 There's a lot of good points in there but there are credible sources to find weather predictions without sifting through sensationalised bull****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
