Will it won't it?

Looking north towards Yell from the kitchen window would suggest that there will be no school tomorrow.

Reading the forecast on the 10 weathr forecast from the fair isle would suggest there will be no school tomorrow, so now all we have to do is tune into radio sheltiland at 5.30 and hope those three words we all want to hear will be announced

"Schools closed tomorrow"

We wait with anticipation!!!!!

There will be school tomorrow. It is inevitable.

Herman from Orkney


Hooray - it did! All Shetland schools are closed due to snow!!! Orkney ones aren't though - shame for Herman.

Far North from Unst


well it did happen - Radio Orkney - bless them - announced 'all schools in Orkney except North Walls will be open'. Long pause. 'all schools in Shetland CLOSED' and so far its no weather to even attempt to sledge. SORRY HERMAN!!
