Hogmanay Party At Grantown Has Been Cancelled
Our Hogmanay and a Half Event in the Square at Grantown on Spey has been cancelled for 2009.
The weather has been dreadful for the last 2 weeks, we have had over 2 feet of snow and overnight temperatures at around -16 degrees for the last week. Most days the high temperature has been about -8 degrees.
Overnight on the 30th December, and into the morning of Thursday we have had another 10″ of snow. At this time it is still falling, and the weather people have more snow falling over into New Years Day and beyond.
The bulk of snow has made the Square unsafe for the event, and it is with regret that it has had to be cancelled.
However, every cloud has a silver lining, well white lining in this case, the snow is absolutely perfect for skiing, sledging or just standing in awe!
Local roads are mostly passable, but please take care if you are coming to our area.
Happy New Year anyway - and maybe we will see you again in 2010.
