Returning to normal

Things are getting back to normal today after the rain and snow of the past few days, and thankfully the forecast is much more settled now.

Yesterday Kincardine and Mearns area experienced quite a lot of disruption and some flooding.

There were a considerable number of locations where flooding made roads impassable at times. Marykirk was seriously affected with flooding on the road and roads closed. The B979 Netherley Road was at times impassable. There was localised flooding on the South Deeside Road with some houses at risk.

Lairhillock School also experienced flooding at the entrance and the car park.

The River Carron in Stonehaven was at a worrying level but started to fall slowly from about 8pm before getting critical.

Coupled with last week’s severe frost and snow, then localised flooding and heavy rain, there will be a lot of repairs required to the road network. These repairs will take some time.
