The view from the studio changes constantly but, with the new year, snow transformed our local landscape.
It's quite unusual for snow to lie so long, in Shetland. Our maritime climate prevents it! But in January we had a week of flurries and blizzards, the schools were closed and we were all advised to stay at home.

The 'arctic blast' brought more than just snow – a beluga whale was sighted off Hillswick!

While incredibly beautiful, snowy conditions are challenging for our emergency services, those who keep our roads gritted and our key workers. We are so grateful to them all.
