Wintery weather in Shetland

Shetland doesn't seem to have much snow now a days, certainly nothing like the amount Scotland and England has

Again today, perhaps for only the second time we have had a slight covering but the sun has come out so i don't expect it will last long

The sky is always amazing, with the wide open vistas

Dramatic rain storm approaches Helliness near Cunningsburgh

Sandsayre is one of 5 beaches within 5 mins of our home always a good place to see seals on the jetty

 

Shetland May weather

Thankfully the snow seems to have ended and today its a lot warmer

Had a walk down to Sandsayre and then round to Sanick, only saw one other person. Gather its chaos down in London with packed Buses, tubes and trains can see another outbreak of the virus breaking out in England.

Up here in Shetland its still the same, don't go out unless its necessary and most people are doing that. People will cross over the road if they are coming down the road towards you and the supermarkets still seem to be working ok although now we only have ferries every other day there seems to be less on the shelves.

You have to feel sorry for the lambs , many of which are still being born and for those crofters that are helping them. Our friends are often up in the middle of the night and the cold snowy weather has not helped

Looking east towards Sand lodge

clouds gathering in the north

Snow storm over Cunningsburgh and a few minutes later it hit Sandsayre but plenty of cover behind the buildings. It only lasted about 15 mins but with so much salt in the air it never settles for long

Will be good to go further a field when the ban is lifted but still plenty to see locally especially with an ever changing sky
