From that I'll have to assume that the roads up here are ok (we've hardly any snow, but then I'm on the coast in Edinburgh, so it's never a good place to judge) and risk the A71

The M8 took two hours to get in from the A71 at Shotts to M8 J1, so I would suspect that you will get going eventually but it will take a while.

I'm supposed to be flying EDI-MAN tonight, most likely I'll probably end up driving as well ... listening all the while to the radio reports that the civilised world has come to an end as there is a little bit of snow in the South East.
