On this day... gale to blizzard


  • Sekolah tutup lunchtime - 12.30 dah boleh balik. Jenuh jalan lawan angin kuat
  • Mama kena drive jalan jauh sebab jambatan Tay tutup


Some info from the media:-

  • The high winds also closed tourist attractions including Edinburgh Zoo, Edinburgh Castle and the Midlothian Snowsports Centre at Hillend.
  • Forth, Tay, Skye and Erskine road bridges were closed. Traffic queued up to 20 miles at Kirkaldy bridge.
  • Tay Rail Bridge was also closed.
