This morning, I had a nightmare of a journey from Kirkcaldy to Danderhall, on Edinburgh's southside. I picked my wife up from her work just before 10:00 and when I joined the A92 just to the north of Kirkcaldy the snow was lying at the sides of the road and along the central reservation. The road was wet, and there was a clear blue sky and a very low sun. The fields were so bright with the lying snow. However, once we reached the M90 and turned south, we drove straight into the low sun and snowfields and visibility was atrocious. It continued like that all the way to the Lothianburn junction on the Edinburgh City Bypass. Despite maximum use of the sun visors, both to the front and the side as required and wearing Reactolite driving sunglasses, it was a very tiring journey. Luckily, the road was quieter than normal, but the spray was still terrible, and I used a load of screenwash fluid. A very tiring journey indeed. Luckily the return was okay as by that time snow clouds had percolated down from the north and the sun was very watery if visible at all.
