Weather watch
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 I am driving to Scotland today to watch Dundee United play Rangers in Glasgow tonight. Normal journey time from Cambridgeshire is six hours. Estimated time of arrival, if road conditions are good, is four o'clock. Kick-off is 7.45 so there should be time to see the in-laws as well.
According to the BBC, however, "Extreme weather warnings have been issued for north-west England, Yorkshire and Humber, the Midlands, east and south-west England ... Severe weather warnings are in place for icy roads in Strathclyde, Tayside and Fife, central and south-west Scotland and Lothian and Borders."
Meanwhile, "The icy weather has almost wiped out the midweek Scottish Premier League card ... Rangers' match with Dundee United and Motherwell's game at Hearts are the only SPL games to survive so far."
Hmmm. I'm beginning to doubt the wisdom of this trip. Watch this space.
