  1. My father is ment to be flying home tonight from Aberdeen we have told him to get booked on the ferry instead. http://www.hial.co.uk/sumburgh-airport/#fragment-1 This link is to Sumburgh Airport, there have been no planes all day so IF they start there will probably be a backlog of people trying to get away.
  2. Afraid its been very heavy snow here in Reawick since half 8!! It is eased a bit but still quite a bit coming down. Roads don't look very good but not been out to play yet! There has been no cars moving around Skeld atall.
  3. Sorry tae say dirs much more heading your way tonight!! Wir about 80 mile NE o Shetland and its been snowing more or less steady here since 1pm!! And da wind is about 30-40 knots! Direction o the wind means next stop = East side!! Best get da feet tae da fire!! Hope it all go's away afore da 7th!!
  4. Heard earlier this morning The Hrossey is staying in Aberdeen Harbour tonight and will not be sailing!! Weather here in Aberdeen today is very bad with 2 meter swell in the Channel and 3-4 Meter waves at the entrance! Pilotage is suspended untill weather conditions improve. So far today only 1 vessel is left the harbour and none have entered! Very low tides just now so with 2 meter swell in the channel there is a very big risk of vessels hitting the bottom.
  5. Sitting on a Supply Boat in Aberdeen watching an listning tae da ferry speeking to the Harbour on da VHF. The ferry is made 2 attempts at getting in first time was in a bad squall wind wis gusting tae 50 knots. The second attempt they called aff due to heavy braking seas at the entrance to the harbour. The biggest problem noo is da Tide is going oot anrunning intae da swell an heavy seas causing conditions tae be worse. Very low tides in Aberdeen aswell harbour is saying dir is a posibility dat da harbour will close due tae da sand bar at the entrance. But hay wir sailing later today so alls good!!
  6. Sitting on the Nortboat drinkin pints an just aboot thinkin tae get aff an go tae da pubs in Kirkwall, dan...... Dunby Show followed by Coonty show!!! Instead sitting in stinkey Tory!!
  7. Speeking about being much colder on friday with wintery showers and over night frosts!! Getting a bit sick and fed up with this weather! Must be global warming!
