The average minimum overnight temperature for January is usually at freezing point, but in Scotland it was regularly below -5C.
Salt grit shortages were reported throughout December and January and the tiny Highlands village of Altnaharra recorded one January night temperature of -22.3C.
that was last year, i believe this winter is even worse.
gives an idea of how warm its been in scotland these past couple of months as the country ground to a standstill. it was so cold here a couple of weeks back i had to thaw out the thc crystals on my bud before i could smoke them,pmsl.
i laugh when i hear people talking about global warming, here we're well into preparations for the new ice age.
