Elderly Scots couple found dead in snow outside their remote Isle of Lewis home, its thought they slipped and fell on the ice. How tragic and sad, Be careful folks.

Ya, you guys getting a bit of snow!! Really too bad about the couple.. Sad
Seeing some of these cars having trouble why not just run 15lbs of pressure in the tires and pore bleach over the tires, sure help with traction getting up some of these small hills?

Sometimes I run 8lbs in my car when I get in these situations.

we don't often get snow in the far South West, as SE knows- our normal weather is rain and lots of it.

Isle of Lewis is on about the same Latitude as Anchorage AK and well exposed to the north Atlantic, and I also believe its where Pres Elect Trumps mother comes from.

we've seen snow here,once in the 12 years,since i've moved in where i live now.but yet it has paid too leave the water faucets dripping during other winters thoe..and it looks like it'll get cold enough here to do that tonight..

it is sad about the couple..but yet,at least,they did go together..
