Warning of gales and snow for Aberdeen area
Temperatures plummet to below freezing
THE first glimpse of snow could hit the Aberdeen area as temperatures plummeted below freezing.
As the Aberdeen area woke up to frosty windows and icy roads today, the Met Office said snow and gale-force winds were expected.
Braemar was the coldest place in the country as temperatures dipped to -8C (46F). And in Aberdeen it fell to -3C (26.6F).
Can I add abut clothing etc.
Carry some boots and a fleec etc or a blanket. Maybe even keep a mars bar or 2 in the car.
I know it sounds drastic, but so many people dress as though they are 100% going to make it to their destination with no problems. Remember, if your car breaks down, so does your heating. There have been people who have died in their cars due to braking down in the cold or getting stuck in snow.
I had to stop once for a young girl who had broken down in the middle of nowhere. It was the middle of winter and all she had was the very short and low cut dress and high heels that she had dressed in to go out to a party. No phone reception either. She just didn't give any thought into what would happen if she broke down.
Since then, I have never worn a short dress and high heels while driving in winter.
I too do not wear dresses or heels in winter, just in case.
