Is that it?

Or so asked the citizens of New York as the snow hit Boston instead and all the precautions seemed overkill.

Today we anticipated snow across the central belt but apart form a flurry or two in Edinburgh there was nothing other than snow on the hills as I headed to and from Glasgow for a meeting with partners from the reporters and social work. Lots of detailed constructive discussion.

Tonight some snow has fallen. The early flowering rhoddy at the gate - in bloom since December - has had a bit of a shock! And it is now freezing and more snow forecast. So I'll hold off on the New Yorkers' phrase meantime.
