Although we did have some snow on Tuesday which caused several accidents, it was nothing like down in the south of England. The weather dominated the news in England and Scotland where as when Shetland gets hit by a Hurricane it gets little coverage.
We seem to completely miss the `Beast from the East' which was good but it was cold, down to -11 with the chill factor. On several days we had still days of sunny weather, most of which fell in midweek worst luck.

We had been waiting for a new car battery for over a week, some complication with shipping it north because now its considered to be a hazardous item. It was quickly fixed and now we don't have to travel about without the heaters on.
All the photos today are of Scalloway or near. The roads thankfully have improved and with the temperature set to rise a bit we should be ok getting about
Scalloway castle always looks impressive
More salt and grit unloaded as snow showers hit

With signs getting blown over, the council now have started to put lower ones in place.
Fishing never stops for the weather
