It has been reported that a young man was found freezing after he lost

his house keys after a works night out. A grandmother was is also in

critical condition after being found curled up in a ball in the snow. She was

rushed to Edinburgh hospital. All we hear on the news is the traffic chaos in

the south, but no-one has died there, so far. Gets things into perspective!

Hi phylray,

Unfortunately there have been many other deaths across Europe that have not had much press either...

Yes, but we are still part of the U.K are we not? We have heard of the European deaths and

sub-zero temperatures.

Scottish t.v. showed picture (he was from STornaway) holding his newborn baby

so sad before Christmas. More horror today I see. We are knee deep in snow now

and was stuck in ice 2 days ago. I am staying in as far as possible but need to shop!
