Uni was closed today and will be closed tomorrow due to the horrid weather conditions. Reading the news about pensioners found dead (like in parks) and frozen does not paint a pretty picture about the beautiful white winter anymore. The news also reported hungry drivers on the road yesterday as a normal 40 minute journey took up to 13 hours yesterday. Some people even decided to abandon their cars! Staying home wasn't safe either as the news reported a guy shovelling snow at his backyard slipped and fell, knocked his head and died. There was also a 13 year old girl who might be paralysed as snow fell on her from her rooftop, while she was shovelling.
I thought everything would be on a hiatus in Glasgow due to the bad conditions. But, outside my window I saw smoke coming out from the chimney of a factory...
The sun was up and shining but it was about -11 degrees outside.
Notice the number of houses with smoke (i think its steam) coming out of their roofs... Their heater or fire place must have been turned on.... Just to show how cold it was....
We were bundled up for sure :]
