DON'T QUIT

DON'T QUIT
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit."

i love her mission...


Then one day, I picked up a book that totally changed the course of my life.

M Scott Peck's The Road Less Travelled.

I realised blaming everyone and everything will not change the situations nor will it solve any issue that I face in life. From the book I've read, I realised that the only way things will change is when I think positive and initiate action to overcome any obstacles or challenges along the way. I can not sit around, twiddle my thumbs and wait for a miracle to happen. To be a great teacher, one must be a good learner. I've learned from my colleagues and my own students on how to improve my teaching methodology and make learning more meaningful for my students.

I also learn that it is not easy to initiate a change, to do something totally out of your comfort zone. When I started doing the action research for the first time, I was at first sceptical on its effectiveness. When I realised how the project I did had maximised my students' enthusiasm in learning by leaps and bounds, I was motivated. When I came across this blog, I was totally in awe of Kak Rahmah's dedication in teaching. Her positive attitude and optimism somewhat fueled me to emulate her fervour in teaching. She is my role model and I am glad that she is kind enough to share her knowledge with me. She triggered me to ride the unchartered waters and I dared myself to present paper at international conferences. I had inhibition of course (who would want to listen to me? / I'm not good enough) but I told myself, you got nothing to lose. The biggest demon is insecurities , to convince yourself that you need to perservere regardless of whatever criticism you might receive from others. Life is not all about perfection, it's all about progress.

It is inevitable to deny that it is a big responsibility to be a Guru Cemerlang/Master Teacher. People have expectations upon you, watching your every moves and wanting mind-blowing results and outcomes. Personally, I hope to learn more and improve on my teaching skills. I hope to network with more teachers and nurture my students' love for learning. I would also like to thank all of the followers & visitors of this humble blog. I have an ongoing mission : learn to teach with love :)

Ku rindui Kekasih ALLAH - Ya Rasulullah Ya Habiballah Kami rindu padamu

Malaysian Chinese convert to Islam after hear this Nasyeed!






Wahai seorang kekasih
Telah lama kau dirindui
Pilu sedih dalam kerinduan
Menangis ku tak berair mata

Namun hati tetap gembira
Syafaatmu menanti disana

Sungguh tabahnya hatimu
Menanggung derita yang melanda
Biarpun perit pedih tersiksa
Kerana umat kau tempuhi jua

Wahai rasul kaulah segalanya
Contoh terbaik umat akhir zaman
Akhlakmu tinggi kan kami jejaki
Sifatmu sempurna pelengkap peribadi

Wahai rasul kami merindui
Sinaran wajahmu mendamaikan jiwa
Manis senyumanmu penawar hiba
Dihati kami kaulah segalanya

Wahai seorang kekasih
Telah lama kau dirindui
Pilu sedih dalam kerinduan
Menangis ku tak berair mata

Namun hati tetap gembira
Diakhirat kita kan bersua..

Ya Allah, tidak ada kebaikan kecuali kebaikan-Mu dan tidak ada kesialan kecuali kesialan daripada-Mu dan tidak ada Tuhan selain-Mu.

Rasulullah SAW mengajar kita untuk mengucapkan doa: “Ya Allah, tidak ada kebaikan kecuali kebaikan-Mu dan tidak ada kesialan kecuali kesialan daripada-Mu dan tidak ada Tuhan selain-Mu.” (Hadis riwayat Imam Ahmad).

Quran Surah Al-Mukminun : 58 , esungguhnya orang-orang (yang beriman itu ialah) yang berhati-hati kerana takut akan (azab) Tuhan mereka.

Allah SWT befirman yang bermaksud : “Orang yang diredhai oleh Allah dan mereka itu selalu berhati-hati kerana takut kepada-Nya.” (Al-Anbiya: 28)

Allah befirman lagi : “Sesungguhnya orang-orang (yang beriman itu ialah) yang berhati-hati kerana takut akan (azab) Tuhan mereka.” (Al-Mukminun : 58)

Quran Surah Al-Anbiya: 28 ; Orang yang diredhai oleh Allah dan mereka itu selalu berhati-hati kerana takut kepada-Nya.

Nabi salallahualaihiwassalam bersabda: “Aku menjamin untuk kalian sebuah istana yang terdapat ditepi syurga bagi orang yang meninggalkan perdebatan meskipun dia benar, aku menjamin untuk kalian dengan sebuah istana yang terdapat ditengah syurga bagi orang yang meninggalkan dusta meskipun dia hanya bergurau, dan aku menjamin untuk kalian dengan sebuah istana di syurga yang tertinggi bagi orang yang memperbaiki akhlaknya.” (Hadis riwayat Abu Daud)

Allah SWT befirman yang bermaksud : “Orang yang diredhai oleh Allah dan mereka itu selalu berhati-hati kerana takut kepada-Nya.” (Al-Anbiya: 28)

Quran Surah Al-Ankabut : 46 ; Dan janganlah kamu berdebat dengan Ahli Kitab, melainkan dengan cara yang paling baik

Allah SWT menyebut di dalam Al-Quran : “Dan janganlah kamu berdebat dengan Ahli Kitab, melainkan dengan cara yang paling baik, kecuali dengan orang-orang zalim di antara mereka, dan katakanlah: “Kami telah beriman kepada (kitab-kitab) yang diturunkan kepada kami dan yang diturunkan kepadamu; Tuhan kami dan Tuhanmu adalah satu; dan kami hanya kepada-Nya berserah diri.” (Al-Ankabut : 46)

Quran Surah An-Nahl : 125 ; erulah (manusia) kepada jalan Tuhan-mu dengan hikmah dan pelajaran yang baik dan bantahlah mereka dengan cara yang baik.

Allah SWT befirman : “Serulah (manusia) kepada jalan Tuhan-mu dengan hikmah dan pelajaran yang baik dan bantahlah mereka dengan cara yang baik. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu Dialah yang lebih mengetahui tentang siapa yang tersesat dari jalan-Nya dan Dialah yang lebih mengetahui orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk.” (An-Nahl : 125)

Kebajikan itu ialah kebaikan budi pekerti

Daripada An-Nawwas ibn Sam’aan ra daripada nabi Salallahualaihiwassalam yang diriwayatkan pernah bersabda: “Kebajikan itu ialah kebaikan budi pekerti dan dosa itu ialah apa yang meresahkan dirimu dan engkau benci orang lain mengetahuinya”. (Hadis riwayat Muslim)

Ketenangan itu daripada Allah.” (riwayat Tirmidzi)

Nabi salallahualaihiwassalam pun diriwayatkan pernah bersabda : “Ketenangan itu daripada Allah.” (riwayat Tirmidzi)

wow this is sad.... gaduh in blog...

http://nawiderahman.blogspot.com/2010/12/convocation-with-difference.html

My daughter's convocation was jubilated by us, the family members. However there was an incident I now put behind me and enjoy life as if nothing was ruffled.

Then this kind BUT very slow reader came in and slapped an unsavoury remark, even after the sadness of a parent was subsiding and cooled to norm.

I call this reader, a slow sluggish unsavoury character.

Here is the chide:


Anonymous said...
I can't keep my feelings restrained after reading the writings from a, maybe, well educated father from, maybe, a highly civic minded society from the south. Now we can realise that sometimes the way our teenagers act and think may come from their parents as well. No wonder some of our students have the attitude of 'everything must be tiptop for them' right from the start they enter UiTM until they come for their convos. Its the attitude of some well to do parents who always wanted to be treated with 1st class service as if they are the King but yet still send their children to an institution where the primary objective is to transform not so rich children to become successful in life. How can his daughter have the endurance in life when the father could not even stand the endurance of attending a convo for just a few a hours? With all the fuss he made on UiTM with his writings in the blog, I just hope and pray that his daughter will become successful in life.

And here is the reply:


Nawiderahman said...
Thank you for your prayer Mr/Dr./Prof/Datuk/Puan/ Drs/Nenek/xxx Anonymous. You said it well. And the same prayer goes to your children and your progenies too for Allah will return favour. I am sure you too have children or even grandchildren, unless you are barren, thus you do not understand the feelings of parents vis-a-vis a convocation.
BTW, why be anonymous?
Is this a culture from the highly civic minded society from the central region of this Bolehland?
And your comprehension of English Language must have smelt vomit, for NOT ONCE did I mention about asking for a 1st class service.
If, being in the same hall as their graduating children is a first class service, then you are saying that, most universities in this Bolehland is first class, and UiTM is 2nd class!!!
Blasphemous!
You are condemning the university you are purportedly upholding!
My 2 cents worth is still valid. Your comprehension of English as a Language spews sewer!
And this is not an ANONYMOUS reply.
Read my lips.
Not an ANONYMOUS reply.

But Anonymous and the many more foul-English readers out there, yet to be seen, are hilarious. This could be the tip of the ice-berg Datuk. Be prepared. Pity our children who are taught by such lecturers [who are not from the south of the country as mentioned by Anonymous].

Abdullah Mohd Nawi::> My comment on your blog Dad:

I really think our anonymous guest has misconstrued the meaning the blogposts and the frustrations of a parent who only wanted to be in the same room as his child during her once in a lifetime convocation for a first degree (future ones not including, and they would not be for the first degree).

If other major universities are able to let the parents be in the same hall as their children during this momentous event, wouldn't one expect the same courtesy from another major university?

Somehow, I don't think our anonymous guest appears to be able to differentiate between the fact that even through all the difficulties endured during the convocations (I'm very sure my father, colleagues, and myself included as we have been to quite a few, from varying universities), there wouldn't have been a peep about all this if it was made worthwhile. In this case, a parent being able to see his child,and a child being able to see her parents, during this very special occasion.

It might be a good idea to revisit the post, and actually try to understand what a person means, before beginning a tirade of thinly veiled insults that are hidden under the false guise of civility.

My father's comments are scathing, yes I do admit, but sir/madam, your thinly veiled insults are very personal in nature, and one does not attack a person for his views. One debates the views.

I would also like to add, sir/mdm, that a large number of our family is proud to be affiliated with UiTM (or ITM), and we are extremely proud of them.

Also, as members of the academic fraternity, we are proud of what UiTM is doing for the country, as we all benefit from it.

The only matter debated here, sir/mdm, is that a parent was not permitted the courtesy of seeing his child receive her scroll, and not asking for a first class, red carpet treatment.

I ask, was this such a crime that such provocative and very personal attacks be made?

I hate it when someone talks about setting the right attitude and example to our students when HE/SHE/IT slink behind a name like "Anonymous"! You must be one who was educated abroad and return home to be a Master Coward. What a waste of PUBLIC MONEY! And that is a great example you are showing to the students?

Ahh my remarks were scathing?
Yes.
And I don't mince words!

Quran Surah Al-Isra : 36 ; ..... semuanya akan ditanya dan dipersoalkan.”

“Dan janganlah kamu mengikut sesuatu yang kamu tidak ketahui kerana Sesungguhnya pendengaran kamu, penglihatan kamu dan hati kamu semuanya akan ditanya dan dipersoalkan.” (Surah Al-Isra : 36).

Quran Surah Al: Isra : 62-65

Allah SWT menyebutkan : “Dan (ingatlah), tatkala Kami berfirman kepada para malaikat: “Sujudlah kamu semua kepada Adam”, lalu mereka sujud kecuali iblis. Dia berkata: “Apakah aku akan sujud kepada orang yang Engkau ciptakan dari tanah?” Dia (iblis) berkata: “Terangkanlah kepadaku inikah orangnya yang Engkau muliakan atas diriku? Sesungguhnya jika Engkau memberi tangguh kepadaku sampai hari kiamat, niscaya benar-benar akan aku sesatkan keturunannya, kecuali sebahagian kecil.” Tuhan berfirman: “Pergilah, barangsiapa di antara mereka yang mengikuti kamu, maka sesungguhnya neraka Jahannam adalah balasanmu semua, sebagai suatu pembalasan yang cukup. Dan tariklah sesiapa yang kamu sanggup di antara mereka dengan ajakanmu, dan kerahkanlah terhadap mereka pasukan berkuda dan pasukanmu yang berjalan kaki dan bersekutulah dengan mereka pada harta dan anak-anak dan berilah janji kepada mereka. Dan tidak ada yang dijanjikan oleh syaitan kepada mereka melainkan tipuan belaka. Sesungguhnya hamba-hamba-Ku, kamu tidak dapat berkuasa atas mereka. Dan cukuplah Tuhan-mu sebagai Penjaga.” (Al: Isra : 62-65)

IBLIS TERNYATA AKAN MENYESATKAN MANUSIA KECUALI MEREKA YANG DIPELIHARA OLEH ALLAH SWT DAN SIAPAKAH MEREKA ITU ?

Mari kita lihat jawapannya di dalam ayat Allah swt itu sendiri.

Firman Allah yang bermaksud : “Iblis berkata: “Ya Tuhanku, oleh sebab Engkau telah memutuskan bahawa aku sesat, pasti aku akan menjadikan mereka memandang baik (perbuatan ma’siat) di muka bumi, dan pasti aku akan menyesatkan mereka semuanya, kecuali hamba-hamba Engkau yang mukhlis (ikhlas) di antara mereka.” (Al-Hijr : 39-40)

Firman Allah yang bermaksud : “Iblis menjawab: “Demi kekuasaan Engkau aku akan menyesatkan mereka semuanya, kecuali hamba-hamba-Mu yang mukhlis (Ikhlas) di antara mereka.” (Shaad : 82-83)

Hanya mereka yang ikhlas terselamat daripada rencana syaitan.

Ini dibuktikan lagi di dalam Kisah Nabi Allah Yusof

Firman Allah yang bermaksud : “Sesungguhnya wanita itu telah bermaksud (melakukan perbuatan itu) dengan Yusuf, dan Yusufpun bermaksud (melakukan pula) dengan wanita itu dan andaikata dia(Yusof) tidak melihat tanda (dari) Tuhannya. Demikianlah, agar Kami memalingkan dari padanya kemungkaran dan kekejian. SESUNGGUHNYA YUSUF ITU TERMASUK HAMBA-HAMBA KAMI YANG IKHLAS.” (Yusof : 24)

Ternyata hanya mereka yang ikhlas sahaja akan terselamat daripada bencana dan perancangan Iblis yang begitu tersusun dan rapi. Lihat sahaja di dalam surah Al-Isra bagaimana Allah sifatkan bahawa Iblis itu akan menggunakan kekuatan askarnya, pasukan berkudanya yang dimaksudkan ialah kekuatan teknologi dan keilmuan serta perancangan rapi demi menyesatkan manusia. Ditaburi janji dan tipu helah dan diperdayakan dengan dunia serta isinya untuk anak-anak Adam menjadi syirik seperti Iblis dan akhirnya mengikutinya ke dalam neraka.

Keikhlasan orang awam mendapatkan fatwa dan pendapat agama pasti akan dibantu oleh Allah SWT di dalam menemukan mereka kepada kebenaran. Ingatlah walaupun sebuah fatwa namun ianya boleh membawa anda ke syurga atau ke neraka.

Taqwa bermaksud takut dan berhati-hati

Taqwa bermaksud takut dan berhati-hati di dalam kehidupan agar tetap teguh di atas agama Allah SWT. Pengertian taqwa ini pernah diungkapkan oleh seorang sahabat nabi yang terkenal bernama Ubay bin Kaab ra yang pernah ditanya oleh Khalifah Umar bin Khattab ra berkenaan maksud taqwa lalu dijawab oleh Ubay dengan berkata : “Tidakkah kamu pernah melalui jalan yang berduri?” Lalu dijawab oleh Umar dengan berkata sudah tentu. Maka Ubay pun menambah : “Apakah yang kamu lakukan ?” Maka Umar pun menjawab : “Saya melangkah dengan berhati-hati agar tidak terpijak duri.” Demikianlah kata Ubay bahawa perbuatan yang sedemikian itulah taqwa. (Lihat dalam Tafsir Ibn Katsir)

Quran Surah An-Nahl : 43 ; maka bertanyalah kepada orang yang mempunyai pengetahuan

Allah SWT befirman yang bermaksud : “Dan Kami tidak mengutus sebelum kamu, kecuali orang-orang lelaki yang Kami beri wahyu kepada mereka maka bertanyalah kepada orang yang mempunyai pengetahuan jika kamu tidak mengetahui.” (An-Nahl : 43)

siapa imam nawawi ? Berkorban demi ILMU

siapa imam nawawi




(Dengan nama Allah, Segala puji bagi Alloh, Selawat dan salam ke atas Rosululloh Shollallahu ‘alaihi wasallam, keluarga, sahabat dan para pengikut Baginda)

Sebut saja Imam Nawawi, tentu ramai yang biasa mendengarnya. Namun, tidak ramai yang mengetahui biografinya. Di dalam mana-mana catatan biografinya, ramai para ulama menceritakan bagaimana tingginya pengorbanan beliau demi ilmu agama Islam. Kemasyhurannya merentasi pelbagai disiplin ilmu seperti Fiqh, Hadith, Ulum Al-Hadith, Nasab, Tarikh, Bahasa Arab dan sebagainya.

Nama sebenar Imam Nawawi ialah Yahya bin Syaraf. Nama-nama timangannya yang lain ialah Abu Zakaria, Muhyiddin (Penghidup agama), An-Nawawi, Al-Dimasyqi, Al-Faqih Asy-Syafi’e.

Panggilan Abu Zakaria sekadar panggilan beradab sahaja sebagai kebiasaan masyarakat Arab. Gelaran ‘Abu’ dan diikuti suatu nama ialah gelaran biasa masyarat Arab iaitu dengan memanggil bapa kepada nama anak khasnya anak sulung atau anak lelaki. Contohnya Abu Al-Hasan ialah untuk Saidina Ali R.A iaitu bapa kepada Hasan.

Gelaran Muhyiddin diberikan kepadanya atas dasar sifatnya yang tawadhu’ dan merendah diri serta sumbangannya yang besar dalam menghidupkan sunnah Rosululloh صلى الله عله وسلام dan menghapuskan bid’ah.

Gelaran An-Nawawi pula adalah sempena nama kampung kelahiran dan kewafatannya iaitu Nawa yang terletak di Hauran, Syria. Gelaran Al-Dimasyqi pula adalah kerana beliau tinggal lama di kota Damsyiq. Al-Faqih Asy-Syafi’e pula dinisbahkan kepadanya keran beliau bermazhab Syafi’e malahan beliau telah memberi nafas baru dalam penulisan mazhab Syafi’e di mana beliau menjelaskan martabat hadith yang dijadikan hujah oleh Fuqaha’ mazhab.

Beliau dilahirkan pada bulan Muharram tahun 631 Hijrah di Nawa. Beliau mula menghafaz Al-Quran dan mempelajari ilmu Fiqh semasa berusia 10 tahun. Pada tahun 649 Hijrah, beliau mengikutibapanya ke kota Damsyiq untuk belajar di Dar Al-Hadith yang terletak di timur Masjid Umawiy. Beliau menginggal dunia di kampung halamannya di Nawa selepas menziarahi Al-Quds dan Al-Khalil pada bulan Rejab tahun 677 Hijrah dan beliau dikebumikan di sana.

Imam An-Nawawi adalah seorang yang sagat tekun dalam ilmu. Sejak dari kecilnya, beliau dipelihara dan diberi penekanan terhadap ilmu oeh bapanya kerana beliau sememangnya cenderung terhadap ilmu. Kanak-kanak sebayanya tidak menykai beliau bermain dengan mereka kerana beliau sentiasa menghabiskan masa membaca Al-Quran.

Ibn Al-’Attar, salah seorang anak muridnya menyatakan bahawa gurunya itu tidak penah menghabiskan waktu siang dan malamnya melainkan untuk ilmu. Beliau tidak putus-putus menelaah kitab sekalipun di dalam perjalanan. Beliau tidak tidur malam melainkan sebentar sahaja, dengan bersandarkan kepada buku-bukunya, bila beliau tidur lalu bangun, terus saja mengulangi pelajarannya. Beliau wafat dalam usia sekitar 45 tahun dengan tidak sempat berkahwin kerana kesibukannya terhadap ilmu.

Hasilnya beliau terkenal sebagai seorang yang tekun menuntut ilmu, luas ilmunya dan mempunyai karya tulisan yang masyhur seperti kitab Riyadussolihin, Al-Azkar dan Al-Arba’in An-Nawawi. Beliau menjadi ulama rujukan pada zamannya hinggalah hari ini.

Beliau adalah satu contoh ulama yang boleh kita lihat bagaimana sikapnya terhadap ilmu. Lalu, mari kita lihat pula di dalam diri kita. Bagaimana sikap kita terhadap ilmu? Hidup pada zaman dunia penuh dengan kesibukan pembangunan dan pemajuan kebendaan, dengan kemasyhuran pelbagai hiburan bagi mengisi masa lapang, maka bidang keilmuan telah jauh terpinggir di kalangan ramai masyarakat, khasnya ilmu Islam di kalangan penganutnya.

Bukanlah tulisan kali ini ingin menyeru para pembaca agar mengikut jejak langkah Imam Nawawi sehingga meninggalkan kerjaya, tetapi sekadar ingin membawa semua agar menilai semula pengorbanan kita terhadap ilmu, khasnya ilmu berkaitan Islam.

Ruang masa selepas kerja, cuti hujung minggu dan cuti umum tersedia untuk kita korbankan sedikit untuk ilmu Islam. Andai contoh Imam Nawawi itu terlalu jauh untuk kita gambarkan, pergi saja ke mana-mana kuliah mingguan di surau-surau dan masjid-masjid sekitar tempat tinggal kita, terutamanya kuliah yang disampaikan oleh ustaz-ustaz yang masyhur. Bila ditanya kepada sebilangan hadirin, ada yang datang dari jauh, bukan ahli kariah di situ, bagi mereka apa sangatlah nilai harga minyak kereta yang perlu diisi dan dibayar berbanding ilmu yang diperolehi. Apatah lagi nilai waktu yang dihabiskan mengadap sang guru berbanding menghabiskan waktu yang ada menonton rancangan realiti, drama mahupun filem.

Selain berkorban masa, berkorban dengan harta juga boleh kita buat demi ilmu. Mungkin kita boleh menyediakan sedikit peruntukan untuk membeli buku-buku dan kitab-kitab yang boleh dijadikan rujukan bacaan di samping mendengar kuliah daripada para guru. Andai masih terasa berat untuk berkorban wang untuk membelinya, kita boleh memotivasikan diri dengan mengingati bahawa beliannya boleh digunakan untuk mengurangkan cukai pendapatan yang perlu kita bayar kepada LHDN. Simpan bukti belian untuk digunakan bagi pelepasan cukai yang dibenarkan ini.

Sebenarnya, banyak lagi contoh cara bagaimana kita boleh berkorban demi ilmu. Cukup sekadar apa yang saya telah sebutkan untuk kita sama-sama cuba laksanakan. Tiada gunanya andai disebut banyak contoh, tetapi satu pun terasa sukar untuk kita laksanakan. Semoga terbuka hati kita untuk mencintai ilmu Islam dan kita sentiasa istiqomah atau berterusan mencintai ilmu, sekian terima kasih.

stay at home coz the gritting measures did not work when temperatures fell below minus 10C.

Hundreds stranded in snow in Scotland

Britain, which last year shivered through its coldest winter in 30 years, has not seen such widespread early snowfall since 1993.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20101207/tuk-uk-britain-weather-fa6b408.html


Motorists in Scotland were told to stay at home after hundreds of drivers were stranded overnight after snow and freezing temperatures brought more chaos to travellers in northern Britain.

Strathclyde, Lothian and Borders and Central Scotland police forces advised against travel on Tuesday as deep snow and icy conditions left main roads impassable.

"We are advising motorists again not to travel unless the journey is absolutely essential," said Chief Superintendent Allan Moffat.

"We are extremely keen to prevent the experiences over the last 24 hours where we have had many people stranded in their vehicles for lengthy periods."

He said the gritting measures did not work when temperatures fell below minus 10C.

Temperatures in Scotland dropped well below freezing overnight to as low as minus 18 Celsius (-0.4 Fahrenheit), and more heavy snow trapped many drivers in their vehicles while others abandoned their cars.

Scotland's Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson said the authorities had been dealing with what police had described as "unprecedented conditions."

"It's certainly not the case that we've managed to deal with the problem in a way which is acceptable and I very much regret that," he told BBC radio, adding his staff had done an "excellent job."

"I'm sorry that people have experienced the inconvenience."

Media reported that 150 pupils, parents and staff were forced to spend the night in a South Lanarkshire school after the conditions meant they were unable to get home.

The M876, M80 and M8 motorways were all badly affected and police said they had helped stranded drivers get hotel accommodation or receive hot drinks and food.

All the vehicles that were abandoned on the M876 have now been removed, police said, although much of the motorway along with parts of the M9 and M80 remained closed.

However, there was better news for air passengers as Glasgow and Edinburgh airports were both open on Tuesday morning.

Britain, which last year shivered through its coldest winter in 30 years, has not seen such widespread early snowfall since 1993.

(Reporting by Michael Holden; editing by Keith Weir)

Temperatures plummeted to minus 13C (8.6F) in Edinburgh and minus 11C (12.2F) in Glasgow overnight

Hundreds stranded in snow chaos

Hundreds of drivers stranded overnight in freezing temperatures are still battling to get home as police launched a huge operation to free up miles of gridlock.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20101207/tuk-hundreds-stranded-in-snow-chaos-6323e80.html

Some motorists were stuck in their vehicles for more than 15 hours as Scotland bore the brunt of a fresh wave of ice and snow which left several major routes impassable.

Police across the country's busy central belt warned people not to travel unless it was "absolutely essential" after temperatures plunged as low as minus 17C (1.4F) and hampered gritting efforts.

The deluge on Monday - which appeared to take the authorities by surprise - saw people sleep in their cars or abandon them on the highway as motorways and A roads clogged up. Around 100 children were also forced to sleep at their school after the bad weather prevented pupils, parents and staff from getting home.

North-east Scotland and north-west England are facing more snow, with widespread icy roads expected up and down the country thanks to the freezing conditions.

At least nine people have so far died in the big freeze, with an elderly man found dead in snow at a Lincolnshire caravan park the latest victim.

Temperatures plummeted to minus 13C (8.6F) in Edinburgh and minus 11C (12.2F) in Glasgow overnight, reaching minus 16.7C (1.9F) in parts of the Highlands. Parts of Yorkshire and South Wales also saw minus 14C (6.8F).

Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports were open after closing on Monday due to the weather conditions, but officials warned travellers to check with their airlines. Belfast International and London City Airports also warned of delays and cancellations due to fog and freezing weather.

On the railways, the East Coast line between London and Edinburgh was still running a reduced service, and some Northern Rail services in Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire were cancelled.

Brendan Jones, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said temperatures were due to rise from Thursday through the weekend thanks to a shift in the wind direction: "At the moment, temperatures are struggling to get above freezing, but by Thursday most places are going to be above zero - 4C (39.2F) or 5C (41F) across large parts of the country. Many places will have a frost-free night."

Many parts of Britain have been hit by the country's earliest widespread snowfalls for 17 years

Scottish drivers trapped in heavy snow

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20101207/tuk-scottish-drivers-trapped-in-heavy-sn-a7ad41d.html

Hundreds of motorists in Scotland were stranded on Tuesday following a freezing night spent in their cars on the country's snowbound roads.

The country's busiest routes became impassable late Monday in bitterly cold conditions, forcing drivers and passengers in more than 500 vehicles to sleep in their cars.

Scotland's parliament held a crisis meeting as police battled to reach trapped motorists.

Stewart Stevenson, the Scottish transport minister, said the country was in the grip of the "worst snow and ice conditions since the 1960s."

Many parts of Britain have been hit by the country's earliest widespread snowfalls for 17 years.

Around 150 pupils, teachers and parents spent the night in a school in Hamilton, central Scotland, after the heavy snow made it too dangerous for them to make their way home.

Glasgow and Edinburgh airports reopened after a short shutdown because of the weather.

Strathclyde, Lothian and Borders and Central Scotland police forces advised people not to travel on Tuesday unless their journeys were essential as deep snow and icy conditions have left roads treacherous.

"Due to the extremely cold temperatures experienced across the central belt (of Scotland) overnight, the gritting operation that has been carried out will not have had a significant impact on the ice that has built up on roads across the region," they said.

Temperatures in Scotland dropped well below freezing overnight, and more heavy snow trapped many drivers in their vehicles while others abandoned their cars.

Pupils, parents and staff were forced to spend the night in a South Lanarkshire school after the conditions meant they were unable to get home.

The M876, M80 and M8 motorways were all badly affected and police said they had helped stranded drivers get hotel accommodation or hot drinks and food.

However, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports have both reopened.

Britain, which last year shivered through its coldest winter in 30 years, has not seen such widespread early snowfall since 1993, closing thousands of schools and causing travel chaos up and down the country.

Fresh snow showers and sub-zero temperatures will continue to blight Britain as the icy weather that has gripped the country over the past week shows little sign of easing.

Around 15cm of snow is expected on higher grounds with strong 30mph north-easterly winds making the temperatures feel as low as -7C in parts of the UK.

Schools are expected to remain shut and transport routes blocked with forecasters warning that the onslaught of Arctic weather will not show signs of letting up until Friday.

Met Office forecaster David Price said: "It will remain bitterly cold today with the strong north-easterly winds continuing to bring snow showers and making temperatures feel as low as minus six or seven degrees. There will be fresh snowfall across the majority of the country, with the only areas really escaping being the Midlands, the far south west of England and the west and north-west of Scotland."

Mr Price predicted that an average of between 0.8in (2cm) and 2in (5cm) of snow will fall across the UK on Wednesday, with 4in (10cm) to 6in (15cm) falling in higher areas. Temperatures are also expected to struggle to get past 0C with maximums of just 2C.

Mr Price said the snowy conditions will continue throughout Thursday adding to the existing levels that have accumulated over the past week.

"On Friday we should an expect a reprieve from the showers. However, it will remain extremely cold and the snow will be back over the weekend," added the weather expert.

Gatwick Airport was also closed with all departures and arrivals halted until further notice due to the adverse weather conditions. Airport spokeswoman Sarah Baranowski said the runway was closed at 10.30pm on Tuesday and ground staff working throughout the night had not been able to clear the settling snow.

Severe weather warnings were on Wednesday in place for the whole of Scotland, with widespread icy roads and heavy snow expected in central and south westerly areas. Warnings were also in place for northern England, the south coast and parts of Wales as the UK braces itself for more Arctic temperatures.

Gemma Plumb, forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said snow drifts were reported in East Anglia and Suffolk on Wednesday morning as a result of the strong winds. A low of -19.8C was also taken in Altnaharra, in the Highlands, with temperatures not expected to break 0C in Scotland.
