🌪️STORMY WEEKEND🌪️
Storm Éowyn has now been named
Windy says hey guys. I don’t know what’s happening with my posts but an awful lot of you aren’t getting them (and if you are, you aren’t reading them 🤷‍♂️)
See bottom right hand corner - Sunday 19th (that’s when this was posted) and I’ve been talking about it most days since . . . This is how it’ll be looking on Thursday afternoon
This is a WIND event for Scotland on FRIDAY, but we’ll get the rain and SNOW as well (starting on Thursday. As forecast)
Anyway. If yer travelling on Friday I would think about a Plan B (Boat. Bus. Train)
I’m thinking parts of western Scotland, the SW, southern & central Scotland, before it moves up into the NE later on
It’s only TUESDAY just now, so a lot could change between now and then so make sure you are reading the most current forecasts (they’re all date/time stamped for a reason)
PS - SNOW Thursday and Friday for some. Not all. Mostly across the HIGH ground (but that won’t include Fife at sea level ken.)

This sign has gone up at holiday inn express Aberdeen airport
So after bus gates and L*Z here something else for Aberdeen drivers to get grumpy about
Dont drop off or pick up Betty from Benidorm or it’ll cost you £100.
It’s still £5.50 to pick up drop off at actual terminal
So be cheaper to drop them off at bus station and give them £4.40 for the bus
