we got power back on properly late last night .Around here most of the downed trees were the ones with ash dieback ,a few firs ect though not many . Can i thank everyone for their ideas ,on resilience in power outages as we ended up with my grandchildren their house relies on electric ,we don't really having wood burning stove for cooking ,a few bits might have found their way into my shopping basket to make things more comfortable next time wind up radio and charger being one ,we were better equipped on Lewis when we lived there and the tech has really moved forward ,bored kids need something to do lol,

WWW.FACEBOOK.COMThis is the Inverness to Ullapool road tonight. No need to shut the snow gates at Aultguish - John has closed the road all by himself with the lorry ❄apparently there are a few people , cars and a bus stuck ,snow in drifts 8 feet in places , i am near Dingwall ,but at about 500 feet pretty sure it's snowing ,but I'm not going to check to be honest till the morning

ah here it is ,sleeting now ,and we are back to normal sideways precipitation,more or less bang on for us up here near inverness
-
dingwall near inverness at about 500 feet ,it's been not to bad here ,no wind very quiet ,ferries not going to isle of Lewis today ,few rain showers and started the day with a fluffy snow shower ,all coming straight down ,not sideways as usual, looks like we are near the centre ,i'm sure it'll pick up ,it's just doing odd things up here

i'm late to this this ,but i did find this

this isn't sounding good ,

slightly different take on the choosing to stay ,there was a chap who posted about riding his horse along a road ,and everyone was saying he and his horse should evacuate ,he said he wished he could ,but he couldn't abandon his horse and to evacuate it would cost 2 dollars a mile and then stabling ,possibly getting stuck on the freeway ,with a horse in a trailer ,in winds and flooding ,so he was staying ,he was not on on of the islands though ,so i suppose some people just cannot afford it ,

watching this at the moment ,somebody shared the link earlier , seems quite windy
-
thanks for that i hadn't realized seems sensible
-
just saw something interesting they are turning all the lanes in one area, one way ,so if the freeway will have all lanes away from the evacuation zone ,

Still snowing at 0c .This photo shows
what has fallen this evening as front garden was more or less bare of snow when it started earlier this afternoon. Looking at my local forecast on here in spite of some melt in the afternoons for the next fortnight every night has an air frost so remaining snow and drifts will set up like concrete every night. It will make the countryside look very wintry. for a few more weeks yet.
same here just took the car out ,almost nothing this morning had to get the chains out to get home ,at least 3 inches of fresh snow

no damage here a lot of the village is without power ,to be honest i think that with the direction of the wind, westerly i am up a hill just under the brow of the hill I think that made it a bit better as we are on the east side of the brow ,i'm hoping people will only have slight damage and a thought to all the electric guys and others for keeping things going ,we ended up in a red ,
