But allow being stuck in my car for like 11 hours.. im not sure i would have had enough petrol to get home, dont usually have more than half a tank.

It looked very bad just on TV last night Snowball - hope yez were prepared with enough warm stuff. My worst this year so far was getting stuck in the hotel car park after a night-out in Edinburgh.

The car park was at the bottom of a steep hill, and there was just no way my wee car would go up it in the morning, no matter how many pushed. But at least it was a hotel, so we just had to book another night in the hotel then go drown our sorrows - not exactly the same sort of hardship as you!!!!!

There's a Premier Inn at Newhouse - which was gridlocked as all the routes into North Lanarkshire were totally at a standstill for hours (apparently the M74 around Hamilton hadn't moved all day) - the hotel had people sleeping in the restaurant and were hunting out old duvets / pillows etc!!! I passed the it and was in two minds whether to bail out and go in ..... but another 2 hours and I eventually got home (well... after having to abandon my car up the road and walking the rest of the way).

I spoke to guys just up from the Hotel whilst I was waiting in the tailback, they'd been in the same position coming down from the Forth Road Bridge...they started off at 9am, and I was talking to them at the back of 7.30pm..... that's how long it took them !! Just crackers, !

Completely mental !!

There were folk running out of fuel, and having to double up in other people's cars....the only good thing is that I'd fuelled up before starting out. ........

Walking in snow is some work out, that's for sure!!! LOL
