Anyone else think they are going a bit far with this "Big Freeze" chaos thats ment to hit Scotland 2moro morning??
Its making it sound like the end of the world.Totally rediculous. People buying 25 loaves to put in their freezers and shit.
Its just starting to piss me off now.

Mass media seemed to have avoided that, the only people I've seen making a big deal of it are Stirling council.
There is potential for fairly bad weather but nobody knows for sure yet.
There's a forum full of sad people like me watching it comes down on radars and wind charts etc

BBC totally down playing it as well, they are shit bags.
It's the way the snow etc forms, it can't be forecast until it's happening so nobody wants to stick their neck out.

I work for West Lothian Council they've gone mental as well making contingency plans, latest email this afternoon was asking staff with 4x4 vehicles to be on stand by to help out. Whats the bet that we don't see a single drop of snow here

The rigs were blaming the weather for everybody being stuck but they didn't have a spare helicopter or something anyway I heard?

Not sure if you are being sarcastic Deano or you really can't get why you'd want to put a loaf in the freezer

Cold enough to snow. Cold enough to lie. Not cold enough for The Day After Tomorrow.
If they councils get their shit together for once and get the ploughs moving on the motorways as it falls, no reason for chaos.
