OneFootInTheGrave Report 14 Jan 2015 11:07

When I was a lad at primary school in Scotland, long time ago, I had to walk to school which was about 2 miles from where we lived - through snow about 12 inches deep - and when I reached working age I travelled daily by train from Fife to Edinburgh in heavy snow - of course in those days we had "the right kind of snow" so the steam trains could cope :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Unbelievable!!!

Up to two centimetres of snow fell on the Forest of Dean and other parts of Gloucestershire last night forcing some schools to close their doors this morning.

A yellow warning for snow and ice is still in place for the county with the Met Office with motorists and pedestrians advised to take care.

Temperatures are set to remain close to freezing throughout the morning, at around two degrees Celsius

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “The public should be aware of tricky driving conditions.”
