Feckin' Weather

Not such good views today. Very fine snow swirling around in the fresh NW breeze. More fell overnight and most roads (on all islands) are either blocked with stuck vehicles or have severe drifts making them impassable.

From the back door, just now.

Running short on fresh food and our shop is not getting any deliveries this week so hoping that the forecast for it to be milder with rain over the weekend is correct so that I can get to Lerwick next week.

Time to set up drone deliveries!

I doubt there would be very many days when the wind would be light enough for them to operate.

Yes. Typical non helpful response, but maybe made you chuckle, and exclaim, “I wish”!!

Oooh, toasty!

It was 11.5c in the house when I got home at 2200 last night

Set the heating to super turbo wammer and it was back up to 17c this morning :frowning:

Still 0c but at least the wind has dropped so it’s just coming down vertically now :grin:

The road to the ferry terminal is 2’ deep and much worse where it has drifted so the ferry crew couldn’t get to work.

Hard to motivate myself to move away from a pot of tea. and this, although we’ll be going out for a walk shortly :cold_face:

At least the temperature is forecast to rise to 7c for the weekend combined with heavy rain showers so should be clear by early/mid next week :crossed_fingers:

Calpe looks very nice. Even in black and white the Penon is very impressive.

Relentless. Just about to go out for our last walk of the day (it’ll be dark in an hour) and this is the view from my bedroom window.

It’s times like this I appreciate my Sugden amp.

Remarkable thaw overnight, brought on by a southerly wind and 7c
