    What's the reasoning behind some Glasgow schools closing at 1pm then?

    weird we had a flash storm here in Virginia and I lost power for a few hours. Worst of it is that it was about 65 degrees before the storm and its like 40 now. * cold front

    Glasgow Schools are closed because the storm will be really bad from around noon.

    The city is pretty much on lockdown! Everyone stay safe and ffs don't go out unless you really need too. By the looks of it, it really will be the worst storm in decades so yeah be safe. Mind lockdown any loose items in your gardens/balconies ect.

    Don't know about you guys, but my area is treacherous!

    The roads are flooding and the winds were blowing my car all over the road when i was driving this morning. I just hope and pray nothing blows around in the wind and hits my car. I have had enough car trouble and costs recently to last me a lifetime. I really don't need more expense.

    I know that might seem a little materialistic considering people will probably get hurt but we really can't afford to have to pay any expensive excesses.

    Hope everyone stays safe. I have decided i am going nowhere to day. This could be a really bad one.

    When did Scotland turn poofy?

    Bit of wind and folk are all wanting up the road early. There used to have to be 10 inches of snow before the schools shut.
