Windy, rain, occasional heavy sleet. Temp: 2.7C Dew: 1.4C Wind Chill: -4.2C Wind: ESE @ 30kts High gust: 46.7kts (54 mph) Pressure: 1013.4hPa (falling) Humidity: 91% Rainfall: 0.2mm (likely more as rain is being driven horizontal - not into cup!!)

Gusting to 55mph here at the moment. Expecting a very stormy night with sustained windspeeds in the region of 50-60mph and gusts to 80+mph from around tea-time tonight through to the same time tomorrow. Theres also a possibility of some snow and we've already had some fairly heavy sleet this morning. Check out the webcam - surfs up dude! http://www.gulberwickweather.co.uk/page3.html

Windy with occasional blustery showers, some wintry with hail and sleet. Temp: 3.8C Dew: 3.1C Wind Chill: -2.2C Wind: E @ 26.4kts High gust: 46.1kts Pressure: 1018.5hPa (falling slowly) Humidity: 95% Rainfall: nil

Continuing to see strong to gale force winds up here and tomorrow looks worse with Sunday even worse still. As a result there hasn't been a ferry between here and Aberdeen since Wednesday and tomorrows are likely to be cancelled as well. There is a distinct possibility we may not see another ferry until Boxing Day! (although Northlink are hoping they may be able to run one in both directions on Sunday night). As a result, the shops here are almost bare and the Scottish Govt has been asked for assistance to fly supplies up to Shetland. Tesco have taken matters into their own hands and have chartered a C-130 Hercules to fly supllies up on Saturday and Sunday. They are hoping to get two flights in on each day! http://www.shetnews....-fly-in-freight http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-20820222

A tad breezy again. Looks like there will be no ferries between Aberdeen and Shetland until Boxing Day! Temp: 4.7C Dew: 2.2C Wind Chill: 0.2C Wind: ESE @ 20.6kts High Gust: ESE @ 39.1kts Pressure: 1016.6hPa (steady) Humidity: 84% Rainfall today: nil

Top gust now 68.4mph and still blowing strong.

Blowing a hooly up here! Top gust so far 61mph. Light rain at the moment but snow expected later.

Windy with alternating rain, sleet & wet snow. Temp: 4C Dew: 2.4C Wind: ESE @ 20.7kts Top gust: E @ 47kts Pressure: 992.9 hPa (Falling) Rainfall: 1.2mm

Been there, done that lol! Went and ran the gauntlet at Tescos yesterday and we have plenty candles, gas etc.

I agree with Frosty. This cold has been quite dogged and persistent with lows previous to todays being squeezed further south and the cold hanging on especially up my way. "I think the models are still really struggling with the persistent cold block to the northeast," is spot on I reckon.

Quite! If it does snow then its likely to be quite wet and sticky which is ideal for bringing down power lines but the wind might just do that anyway!

Looks like we could be in for some pretty appalling conditions up here later tonight and into the early hours. SE-E winds are forecast to reach Storm Force with gusts between 70-80mph. As if that weren't bad enough theres a possibility that it could turn to snow again for a time between about 2100 and firt thing tomorrow sop we could well see some really atrocious blizzard conditions for a time. On top of all that is the highest astronomical tides of the year tonight so we could have a wind-over-tide effect with coastal flooding. The Local Auhtority has already deployed sandbags in vulnerable places and SEPA has a flood alert out for here. Being a weather fiend this of course makes for an interesting night to say the least, assuming the boradband and power stay on! More importantly I hope my colleagues at work don't have to deal with anybody in difficulty tonight. Effecting a rescue in those sorts of conditions can be difficult to say the least.

Absolutely appalling conditions expected up here later today and overnight. Gusts expected in the region of 70-80mph with the possibility of heavy snow later tonight with blizzard conditions. Add to that the highest astronomical tides of the year and the possibility of coastal flooding (SEPA already has a warning out for Shetland). Could be fun if we don't lose power!
