We've had a light sprinkling of snow but enough to cause a bit of local
difficulty with cars because the lanes aren't gritted, except for the
diy bins at strategic points. One of the family's cars ended up in a
hedge this morning when she had to get out of someone's way in a hurry.
In these narrow lanes you run out of places to go if some fool is
going too fast. The current temp is 0C and so Ray has gone to work in
the prop. house where it's warm and snug!

The Leiden University hospital heating system in the main building has broken
down. 20 operating theatres are closed. It isn't only in UK where these things
happen.
There are 595 km of traffic jams.

" Heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures have been causing another day of
disruption to northern Europe and its transport network.
Thousands of railway passengers had to spend the night in trains in
Germany as snow paralysed many high-speed inter-city routes.
Flights were disrupted in the UK, France, the Netherlands and Germany.
In Poland, 18 people have died from exposure over the past two days.
Most were homeless people under the influence of alcohol, a police
spokesman said.In other developments
* Denmark mobilised its army to help emergency vehicles make their
way through snow in the south-east
* Eurostar trains from France faced cancellations or delays while
snowfalls trapped hundreds of motorists in Brittany and Normandy
* In Belgium, 650km of traffic jams were reported, with Flanders hit
hard "
Still sunny and snowless here in Arran
