I loved it when it was snowing (apart from doing my paper round), I was up sledging at the golf course every day!

I havent seen snow like this in years, up past Rafford, Dallas and Knockando was even worse, we had 4X4 with snow chains and still got stuck every 10mins took me 4 hours to get from Forres to Knockando for a hogmany party walking the last 3 miles on foot, but well worth it when I arrived

good job you didn't go past the falls and up the hill past sanquhar. there were cars constantly stuck up there... i was always helping free peoples cars. a snow plow did go there once but they just piled all the snow up against the pavements blocking my car in with snow! it took hours of digging to get it out!

Easly drivable roads moray council have done a good job don't see what all the fuss is about.

Since this video, the snow in Forres has got far worse. It just seemed bad at the time!

I live in North Lincolnshire & the ambulance service has been struggling to keep up with the amount of callouts for people falling on icy pavements. I think the cost of all of those journeys to and from A&E is probably more than the cost to grit the paths as well as the roads. Councillors don't seem able to put 2 & 2 together!
