Frances144 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Where do you go (apart from the seaweed hanging outside your front door), for an accurate weather forecast for Shetland on:- 1. a daily basis2. a long term basis (and I mean what is this winter going to be like?) Personally, I favour yr.no but they were very off this summer to the extent when I wondered if they actually knew where Shetland was, let alone the Voe of Footabrough.

George. Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I get a met office forecast that's taken at Stenness. Because I'm in Hillswick, three or four miles down the coast, it's very relevant to where I live. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gfyb53fb6 Frances144 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Soak an old sock in a bottle of"Zetland North Sea Range - Clumly Bass - red vin de table - soft and fruity" and feed it to you cat. The cat will bolt out of the door but, word has it, if it comes back, it's going to rain.. NB;This doesn't work for people who have pured their bottle down the pan.

Personally, I throw the old sock at the cat. It then goes out, allowing me to sit and guzzle the wine. If it's going to rain, it will eventually come back in. If it's not going to rain then it will still come in, if for no other reason than to see if I've finished the wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabug Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 It is interesting to see the calamity this spell of winter weather is creating,but this is nothing compared to what it was like in 1963, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMXxRcqmrkQ Girzie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
