Snow.

My Dad used to say - work is what you do to pay for the things you want. If you've got enough money to do that, why would anyone want to work?
I might add that he pretty much hated every job he had (road mender, steel worker, ICI chemical plant worker) though I think he enjoyed the last one he had - night porter in a brothel, though my mother was under the impression that it was a hotel...

Cars have been buried overnight under huge banks of drifting snow blown from fields next to the A98 in Moray.
The vehicles were trapped as gale-force winds carried mud-coloured waves of snow onto the road near Buckie.
Snow ploughs were used to try and clear the stretch, close to its junction with the B9016, but were unable to make it through and the road remains closed.
Elsewhere in the north east, stretches of the A90, A95 and A96 were also closed overnight due to drifting snow.


The A9 has also been affected, with the snow gates being closed between Dalwhinnie and Trinafour.
All major roads were at least partially cleared on Sunday morning but road management firm Bear Scotland said its teams were still working to keep them passable.
Drivers have been urged only to travel in the area if absolutely essential.

Bear Scotland tweeted: "All early morning treatments are now complete. We are still dealing with drifting snow on the A9 at Drumochter.
"Our teams have been working tirelessly overnight and will continue to keep working hard to keep the carriageway clear.
"If you are out an about please #DriveSafe."

Woah, I've heard of Yellow Snow before - don't eat it!
But that brown dirt-coloured snow is a first for me.
Don't eat that either!

I can only assume as its come off fields that were probably very wet before it snowed its mud and snow mixed.

Those cars are going to take some cleaning when it melts!

Makes you wonder how good the door seals will be with that much snow leaning against the doors and then melting.

It has, I was out for a walk yesterday not too far form there and despite the snow the underlying soil is extremely dry so coupled with the strong winds made for an interesting combination.
