  1. 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!

  2. Ah yes, Hagar, just another normal day at the office then! Hope you've got a good supply of candles, batteries, torches and a decent supply of even more necessary necessaries....beer, whisky, wine, chocolate etc. wink.png

    Been there, done that lol! Went and ran the gauntlet at Tescos yesterday and we have plenty candles, gas etc. w00t.gif

  3. 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!
