#SNOW

A traditional winter finally arrived across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

@alzheimerssoc said: “It’s started to #snow in certain areas of the country and we’re asking everyone to be safe in this chilly weather. Check on your loved ones and help ensure that those who are living with dementia are safe and warm.”

@Numbermickey said: “The BBC said we may get a little snow. Can they get anything right? Coming down really heavy.”

@Swfifepolice wrote: “Storm Ciara gave the Forth Rail Bridge a nice dusting of snow earlier on today. Stay safe if you’re going out this evening please.”

@christiebone said: “We’ve had hail, rain, 60mph wind, a snow blizzard, storm Ciara, a yellow weather warning, and blue sky, all before 12pm, Scotland yer [awful] but still love u x.”

@I_am_stratos added: “4 seasons in a day today in Edinburgh but mainly snow and wind.”

@urbanangel2020 said: “So with the heavy fall of snow, I’m pretty sure Scotland would kill the coronavirus, if it even tried to give us as much as the sniffles.”

@Ashleycscotland tweeted: “I love watching snow fall – peaceful & majestic at the same time, plus it makes everything, no matter where you are, look extremely pretty.”

#OSCARS

Hollywood stars speechified mercilessly as they collected Academy Awards.

@madsjac said: “I never watch Oscars any longer. Actors think they know what’s best for my country. They’re concerned about ‘Climate Change’ while flying in private jets. They promised to leave if Trump won. Lied.”

@sbruno5766 added: “The Oscars are forgotten, it has become a platform for leftist activism speeches and nothing to do with acting abilities as it used to be. So long Oscar, we miss you!”

@alemonsqueeze said: “Do all actors go through a Messiah complex phase? We admire you for your acting, not your spouting off. Desist.”

@Geestarr said: “I am never going to get over Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscars speech. Thank you for speaking out for those who cannot speak for themselves.”

@jordmcgrath said: “Very happy for an international film winning best picture at the Oscars. I think Parasite is great – and loved the surprise.”
