About nine inches of snow have fallen this morning. I've never seen so much snowfall in Dunbar. It's unprecedented. Needless to say the local schools are shut for the third day running and the kids are enjoying this spell of forced layoff from school. Heather is using the time to study for her Biology Higher prelim that she should sit tomorrow but it increasingly looks like that will go the way of the Maths prelim on Tuesday - postponed.

Today is my normal 'working at home day' and thankfully my internet connection is OK. If the bad weather we're experiencing here in Dunbar is repeated across Scotland I doubt that they'll be many staff and students at Strathclyde today.
