    The Met Office and BBC forecasts only have the snow coming in after dark. Before then it seems quite nice if cold. I am planning a coast road excursion tomorrow.

    We were being "encouraged" to take our laptops home this evening. I came in on my road bike and would have to put my laptop in my rucksack. I'm not cycling for an hour with a laptop on my back.

    Scotrail better run their service tomorrow morning... (I'll bike-train-bike, with the Brompton.)

    Not sure that there's much point in the flask.

    "de-icer and scraper"

    for the (sports) glasses, presumably?

    There seems to be a rather noticeable absence of blizzard-like conditions forecast on the BBC website at the moment. Slow news day?

    )Unless you conside the summary : Wintry showers near East Coast will spread further inland later in the day. Cold and quite windy.
    = blizzard)

    I think the Chipwrapper have been contacting a different Met Office from the one that the BBC base their forecasts on. Either that or there was something special slipped in the canteen mushroom soup.
