Chalklate Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Happy New Year everybody. If you are planning to drive today, take care, the roads are pretty icy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm wondering how icy the Lerwick to Walls road is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalklate Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Don't know what the westside roads are like now but looking here http://www.shetland.gov.uk/icecast/ it would appear they should be okay. I posted the warning this morning because hubby took a good while to get in and out of Lerwick. He slithered round the roundabout at the co-op.

emjay73 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I was in Lerwick yesterday and the whole place was like an Ice Rink...never seen it so bad and it seemed to get worse as the morning progressed. 4x4's on ice really doesn't make much difference. Very lucky it was a quiet day or i'm sure there would've been a few accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I hear that last gale did a fair bit of damage to the east end of the runway at Sumburgh, maybe they should have extended the west end instead.....http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb479/beenister/045800x571_zps6df5cb99.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 There's going to be some sea running tonight! http://www.shetnews.co.uk/newsbites/6270-hjaltland-cancelled A gale warning for Fair Isle issued by the Met Office at 09.35 UTC described the sea state as “high or very high, becoming phenomenal for a time in westâ€.
