Windy Forth, Icy Prom

Suddenly after the longest cold spell in 30 years we waken up to no snow in the streets and a more typical Edinburgh day, mostly dull and grey.  The photo is the prom on the Forth near Silverknowes, stripped of snow it is now pure ice but begining to melt. It is still about 2 inches thick.  You can see why there has been so much whinging about the cold.
