Cloudbursts, aquaplaning, floods, gales, snow, trees down, lorries overturned, internet and electricity down, no mobile signal, ferry off, Erskine Bridge closed, Rest and Be Thankful pass closed, diversion to Inveraray closed, hotels full....the last part of the journey, from Glasgow to home, which usually takes about two hours, took nine..
Our police and road workers are wonderful. Cheerful and kind, uncomplaining and helpful :
Away up the pub and come back in an hour - we'll have it cleared!
We did.They didn't. Another tree had come down.
A lone policeman with a torch, laughing into the gale, standing by a sixty foot conifer lying along the road :
Can we get through?
Aye, no problem! You couldn't a minute ago, but I got out the swiss army knife and sorted it!
This morning, gentle silent softly falling snow....
