Long been the case in my neck of the woods, of course, but still impressive. @StewartWilson19 xitter.gq/RetailDataP/status/970…
Hey now! Who's this handsome chap on the contents page of the March issue of @scottishgrocer?
@David_FDFScot @FDFScotland
The March issue of @scottishgrocer has arrived at the office. Ice cold. Wonder what kind of journey it's been on to get here. (I'm not going to post a pic of the front cover. It's got cigs on it and you probably wouldn't be able handle it)
Interesting times ahead... xitter.gq/ScotGrocersFed/status/…

This is the driver's view from a line proving train on encountering drifting snow from Friday 2nd March - with sound (expletive deleted)

Putting on a fresh pair of socks for the first time in four days and opting for Christmas novelty, seeing as that appears to be where we are now. #beastfromtheeast #Snowmageddon

Thanks are also due, I should mention, to @scottishgrocer assistant editor Matthew Lynas, who has been in the office every day this week, keeping on top of events and in touch with retailers.

While we appreciate disruption is never easy, this gives you some idea of the scale of the problem we have been dealing with.
Drifting snow accumulating again after lines have been cleared is really frustrating and on this scale presents a serious challenge to our ploughs
Travel updates will end here, but you can remind yourself of the fun and games with the publication of my upcoming book, 'How Laughter Slayed The Beast: A Collection of Mildly Amusing Things Tweeted During the 2018 Winter Weather Crisis' #workingtitle #beastfromtheeast

Commiserations to fellow travelers still not where they want to be. Many thanks to various lovely people at @merciecaltd @citypress @nicholsplc @RealVimto @CocaColaEP (among various others) for all your help and support during my long, long journey home.

Flaking out? Retailers tell us how they've coped with Snowmageddon. scottishgrocer.co.uk/2018/03… #BeastFromTheEast
I wonder if @Twitter has taken any any notice of how entertaining I've been during my #BeastFromTheEast adventure. Maybe they want to headhunt me to boost morale during weather crises. Bring some levity to the situation, like @scottreid1980 used to do.
