The Beast from the East
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 1 Mar 2018
This was the day of the red weather warning, 1 March 2018. The only things moving in Edinburgh were trees whopping about in the gale, an occasional ill-advised bird, and people sledging. Oh, and the trams and the No 100 airport bus. No Lothian buses, no Stagecoach buses, no trains, and next to no cars. Every so often there was a lightening of the obscuring snow showers, but just as I began to think about walking round the block, in would come another howling pea-souper, encouraging me to stay safely put.
