From a Scottish perspective it seemed an extraordinarily minor
depth of snow to warrant leaving 200 children stranded at school
overnight.

H&S gone mad, if little Johny slips and grazes his knee the school is
liable. Now if they let little Johny make proper slides on the
playground he'd have much better understanding of "slippy" and better
coordination to handle said "slippy" as well so he wouldn't fall over
an graze his knee.

As to the Scottish perspective the M74 up Annandale wasn't doing very
well this morning. Stop, start, 10mph only a few miles was wet
compacted snow the rest was a single lane of black tram lines. The
heavies where the problem, most where only just manageing to get up
the hills (not that motorways have particulary steep hills...). Only a
couple of inches lying at the "worst".
