To back up Lioness on this one. 
  
ThePinstripe, forgive me if I'm saying something you already know. I live 40 miles from Ashfield on the East coast, Glasgow is on the West. The two sides of Scotland can have very different weather on the day.  
  
I was very keen to go today, probably more for sentimental reasons than anything else ... Grievsey, last official team meeting until March 2014, etc. 
I left it until the last minute to decide not to go. Even missed out on weekly game of golf to ensure I could be there on time! 
Even during the morning, reading poster's comments on here, I was optimistic and determined to go. Knowing in the back of my mind that the weather can be so different between home and Ashfield. 
  
Similarly, I live 15 miles from Armadale and have on occasions decided not to go because it's peeing down at home, then go on the Updates site and find the meeting is going on and no issues with weather. 
  
It's the old saying, in Scotland you can get four seasons weather in one hour.
