Merry Christmas to all :smiliz58:

I hope Santa brought you all you wished for............ other than snow of course!
One thing can be certain, the weather does change quite rapidly in Scotland and I hope it does bring the cold snowy weather soon.
I'm off into the cave to get a bottle of Champers to make a Bucks Fizz to have with breakfast!! :drinks:

Have a good one folks.

A bit blowy up here! Wind steadily increasing all the time, gusting to 51mph at the moment but expected to hit perhaps 80-90mph this evening.Very dark (more than normal for this time of year in Shetland lol) and greatly reduced vis due to rain and wind driven spray.

Top gust here in Gulberwick 70mph so far but worst winds expected over the next couple of hours. That said, I'm actually quite sheltered from the SW! At the Met Observatory in Lerwick which sits on top of a hill at the south end of the town and is very exposed, the highest gust so far has been 91mph!

It had been on the cards for a few days but I'm not sure we were expecting it to be quite as windy as it was across mainland Scotland.
I survived the coldest winter since '63, and almost the coldest in 100 years.
