Hello Little Al,
Ah lovely, lovely Dyce, I am always pissed off to arrive there on a plane (cos I'm going to be going offshore) and happy to arrive there on a chopper (cos I'm back from being offshore).
Not a lot at Dyce except the Airport & Industrial Estates is there - are you associated with the airport or an offshore company by any chance?
Lived in Aberdeen 1991-92 and didnt enjoy the place too much, don't mind going through it now as it means I'm in transit to/from a well paid project!
I work for Schlumberger but not offshore. You must let me know when you are in town for a beer as well (obvs on the homeward trip
)

Will do so - I did some work surveying a Schlumberger Property around November 1992 on the Shetlands - what a place, sleet coming in horizontal all day & around 4 hours daylight - no wonder half of the Islanders are alcoholics!

heavy snow here now, just glad I'm not travelling as White Outs are a distinct possibility.

A beautiful sunny day in this part of Ontario. Temperature is -12C, with a wind chill of -20. A glorious day to be alive.

Snowing in Bruce.
TREACHEROUS
After a mild thaw this afternoon, sub-zero temps this evening have turned roads into sheets of glass here in north Essex. No sign of any gritters whatsoever.
Just back from a crash where a woman had skidded on black ice, left the road, hit a tree and overturned. Whilst we were getting her out of her car a further 3 vehicles either hit vehicles the back of the queue or skidded and left the road.
It's like human pinball out there tonight.

Black ice on the hilly roads in BN1.

My mate does a radio show out there (Heart FM Spain 95.7FM - The Heart and Soul of the campo) and he said it has been torrential. The sun makes up for it though.

I am an idiot, I meant to quote Spanish Seagull. Sorry.
One evening sleet shower here in Manchester, and snow laying, deep, crisp and even

It is seriously DJ Lethal in BN1, black ice on the roads and almost all pavements still like ice rinks. If you're walking anywhere you either take your chances in the road on the black ice or on pavements sheeted with ice. Good job Brighton Council.

All clear in Seaford, it's like it never snowed.

It was NOT like that the day before yesterday Douglas - My route down Homefield Road, then Blatchington Hill then along the road whose name I can never remember but has Elm Court (RIP) and the Gas Works (RIP) on it was ice all the way. Had Torville and Dean lived in Seaford they would have had a field day.

I love the place but White Outs are no laughing matter. You'll be pleased to hear I've been to church the last couple of Sundays.
