funnily enough I've been passing a frozen dead sheep every morning on the way to work - legs stuck out the snow, the rest is buried........I'm thinking - how long does 200lb of mutton take to defrost?  ;D ;D ;D

all the main roads are good Zombie, so stick to the A9 and come off at the Aberfeldy junction as opposed to going through Crieff, should be OK.....unless its snows hard of course  :y

Kenmore will be beautiful by the way  ;)






edit - I'm assuming you're coming up the A1 over the Forth Road Bridge and then M90 to Perth?

Forever, probably, as in the past 2 weeks the temperature's here haven't risen above -4.5 deg C (and thats day time temp) - all the trees around here are covered in ice, it's probably warmer in my freezer than it is outside..........even the mice have had enough as there throwing themselves (en masse) onto my traps. ;D
