Extreme weather could do a lot of damage such as the twenty thousand affected homes left without power supply because of rain, heavy winds and angry snow storms. Scottish Power identified these homes to be located in central and Southern Scotland. The worst case scenario was said to be Ayrshire wherein more than seven thousand families in Largs and Fairlie are to be greatly affected.
As the temperature took a dive below freezing point, there were ten lorries stranded on the M90. The situation was predicted to last for the next two days and so police advised drivers to take extra care on roads that could be swamped with water.
According to a Spokesman, not all of the 20, 0000 affected homes had no electricity all throughout the day. Some only lost their power supply for a few minutes. However, there were still around ten thousand homes which lost electricity at 4pm although the engineers were already doing everything they can to get the supply back.
The Scottish Power Energy Networks director Frank Mitchell said that people of Scotland were experiencing the lashing of winter's angriest form just as they thought that summer is already coming.
It has been very bad to some areas which had high winds, ice and snow. And in certain areas, specifically in North Ayshire, was greatly affected and had the worst impact when it comes to power loss.
Most of the major problems have been fixed today. But with the weather forecast warning more of these precipitations for the following day, the engineers were advised to be alert and vigilant of problems for the next few hours.
After the heavy rain, people are now keen on watching the water level rise which may lead to floods, said the police. Areas now being watched for floods include East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian and Ediburgh.
The impact of the weather does not stop there. Lothian and Borders Police spokeswoman said that due to heavy raining and snowing, the conditions of the roads are not at their best especially during the rush hours. This could become an issue to some drivers and so she asks them to have some patience while driving. Furthermore, it will take some time for the affected roads to regain their normality even if the raining stops.
At night, the temperature took another nose dive and Cairnwell had to endure a negative five degree Celsius temperature. To make driving conditions even worse, three inches of snow was lying on the road all throughout the near the Bridge of Earn.
