I went to the Shetland Islands last week for the Up Helly Aa festival and had a marvelous time. The ferry crossing was a bit grim though, a northerly gale force 8 gusting 10 made sure at least half the 400+ passengers were seasick.As luck would have it I don't get seasick but even for me the crossing was bad. We arrived into Lerwick and it was snowing...but nothing was showing on the radar.

In fact, nothing shows on the weather radar for Shetland, no rain, no snow nothing, yet we had plenty of weather up there. I tried various radar websites and non of them had anything for Shetland. Does anyone know why?

I found this article from 2007, it seems like nothing got done about it.
