Shadow

The Jan 2005 storm caused loss of life and serious problems here. You can never get used to it. Hope everyone stays safe for this one.

Mine too Cookie.

Amazing views. I live in Lochcarron which is near Torridon I have been up the hills but not quite as far as you have. Thanks for sharing.

is there any truth to this or is it scaremongering again. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/442873/Coldest-winter-in-modern-times-on-way-with-snow-forecast-for-Britain-starting-next-week

Thanks for the info Nick.

Where can you see the wind speeds as the Bealach is just up the road from Lochcarron where I live.

Why no weather warnings out except for met office?

Batten down the hatches me thinks just in case. Looks like with all the rain as well we could be heading for another landslide.

Thought I would add a few pics This one not too good of a Buzzard

A man and his wife are awakened, at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. "Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3 o'clock in the morning! ' ' He slams the door and returns to bed. "Who was that?" asked his wife. "Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers. "Did you help him?" she asks. "No, I did not, it is 3 o'clock in the morning and it is pouring out there!" "Well, you have a short memory," says his wif e! . "Can't you remember, about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!" The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pouring rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?" "Yes" comes back the answer. "Do you still need a push?", calls out the husband. "Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark. "Where are you?" asks the husband. "Over here on the swing!" replies the drunk.
