Will I Get Home?

[dpbird90]

Stayed at the parents' house over christmas in Leicester, and due to fly back to Aberdeen on Thursday. Seeing as the weather's a bit bad up there right now, will I get back? Flying from Birmingham. What do you all think?

I think you probably will mate.

Will you be using an aeroplane?

I'm looking at the airport now, bit of cloud coming in carrying some snow, but nothing to close the airport.

You should be fine.

My brother is driving up from London today....Lucky him lol

Right, quick update, thanks for all the info guys, bit of a nightmare getting home though. Started off good; flight wasn't delayed surprisingly. Everything going swimmingly, until we're 10 minutes away from landing. They shut the airport as they're clearing the runway of snow. The captain decided to circle for a while as "we have enough fuel to". 15 minutes later though, we don't. So, we landed at Inverness. And instead of refuelling and waiting until Aberdeen airport was open, which would have been far quicker, we get bundled onto a coach. And due to more snowstorms, and fog, and the general state of the roads, it took 4 hours, which means I am very tired and should be pretty angry, however I met a pretty young fellow student, and she was going my way. So thanks FlyBe!
Also, from the state of the roads, I can only deduce that the coach driver has superhuman powers. Absolutely 0 visibility. Massive snowstorm (or so it appeared from the front of the coach!), grumpy old people, roads which look like they belong on another planet, and he got us home. So if you're a PHer or just happen to be reading this, thankyou!

Your desperate for this frame arent you?
Should be alright today, no fresh snow but its flipping cold. -18 at ours last night.
Not sure if they still have the gritting issues at Huntly or not but your at the mercy of one person binning it and nobody else can travel. Take it easy and you should get up there fine.

Was pretty bad last night, the bus had to go very slowly, but we did have snow and fog to contend with

Any chance of a friend getting a train from EH to Peterborough tomorrow?
They have to get to Inverness from Fortrose[own transport] and yesterday they were told the train would run from Aviemore[coach provided] but today it has been changed to EH that is if it runs.
