No chance of a gritter on our street while they are struggling to keep the main roads clear.
So all the neighbours were out with shovels and spades this morning doing the Ravelrig Big Dig: got the road cleared so that someone else could get in a 4 x 4 to the airport: all domestic flights are cancelled, but a few long-haul ones to warmer climes still going. Now we have just had another hour + of snowstorm, so everything is re-covered with several more inches of snow.
Fortunately have all we need in fridge, freezer and cupboards: no chance of starving!
