Well it looks like winter proper has arrived up here in Shetland. Much colder than it has been of late and also a bit more settled. Over the next few days I'm expecting to see night frosts and some light wintry showers. Sunday is looking like there might be a bit more in the way of wintry showers around and generally, the beginning of December is looking cold, with just the odd milder interlude.

That said, it's pretty much what you would expect for the time of year, particularly up here, although I expect temps on the whole to be a little below average. From the middle of the month it's starting to look promising for some proper winter weather with some snow, fingers crossed, but at this range things could easily change.
