Don't wish to add to the gloom, but:

Light snow in Edinburgh this morning. Melting fast.

Anyone know what conditions are like out at Straiton, Roslin or Dalkeith? Due out that way today...

Coming in from Eskbank - the roads were okay, though some residual slush to be careful of on some of the less main main roads. Minor roads were covered. I suspect that the back roads, particularly higher up would be difficult.

Everything is fine in Livingston (on the roads that is) - conditions are usually worse here than in Edinburgh.
If the sun keeps shining I would expect the snow that the sun gets to to melt quite quickly.

@amir, cheers: I may make some minor route adjustments then! I presume railway paths are out of the question?

Two mini gritters at the top of the Innocent tunnel this morning. I said thank you on the way past! The path was liquid even as the air temperature plummeted to a gasp-inducing level on the lower reaches.

One mini grit spreader on the NEPN at the north side of old BAE Systems. He was parked up and being refilled from a transit flatbed.
I then happened to look north at the new flats being built off Crewe Rd North, I was sheffield Stands going in outside the flat blocks. Only 4 - 5 from the looks of it but at least the builder has put them in. Are they forced to do this as part of planning applications now? I'm sure an underground/ground level secure room would have been prefered though? Also noticed that parking looks sparce! I expext lots of pavement parking when/if they sell and fill up.
