Shetland Photography - Snow Patrol

Pictured above is a photograph of Lerwick taken from Sea Road looking towards Hillhead/Scalloway Road.

The snow season continues with heavy showers this week resulting in school closures.  Thanks to the excellent work by the road men and their gritters, I’ve managed to get to work each morning without any problems.  The landscape is completely transformed when the showers have subsided and the sun is out resulting in some beautiful scenery. I think we’re pretty well catered for in Shetland when it comes to road safety during snowy weather.

Dave Wheeler’s site is my usual port of call for weather updates.  His site can be found here: http://www.northisles-weather.co.uk/.  60 North TV is another useful source to guage weather across the isle: http://www.shetland.org/60NTV/index.html

Take care
