Hi Folks, New to the forum but can't believe the conditions over the last 15 days! Originally from the West ( Dumbarton) and moved to Livingston in 2000 and this major snow event is something that will remain with me and my family for a long time. I'm in my mid thirties and I still cant remember a snow event like this in my lifetime (maybe Dec 1981- Jan 1982?) but this is slightly vague. We have had about a foot of lying snow and the council haven't touched the side streets and I have taken photos from around the 17th Dec. when we had our first snowfall. I was the named driver last night for Hogmanay and the temperature was -12 at 1AM at Livingston, combined with lying deep snow. Can you explain why Livingston and the surrounding areas have experienced major snow events, quite localised in my opinion, whereas 10/15 mies down the road, snow levels are greatly decreaeased? Anyway, all the best for the New Year. Cheers John
