Storm - day 2

Another rain- and windswept day, with the wind sneaking up to galeforce again, possibly as high as force 10 or 11.

Two climbers who had gone ice-climbing in the Cairngorm mountains (30 miles south of Inverness) were reported missing last night. They have now been found, fortunately. No word on their condition as yet. Winds reached 120 mph on the nearby 4,000 ft high mountain tops. Waist-deep snow and blizzard conditions has made this a miraculous rescue.


Caledonian MacBrayne, our regional ferry company, has cancelled virtually all ferries up and down the west coast of Scotland.

I'll try to go out before nightfall, 4pm, to get more pictures. However, in heavy rain it may affect the camera, so it depends.
