Mrs B's second son leaves on the ferry this afternoon, and I join him and his mother to walk to the ferry terminal, 5 minutes' walk away. There is a very cold easterly wind blowing today. The forecast is way out, as a gale blows up in the evening. It is gusting force 11 in Tiree and Benbecula. Elsewhere, snow is causing excitement on the bulletinboards. Get the Free Press, which was late in arriving this week. It's not busy in the supermarket. In late evening, it's absolutely pouring down with sleet and rain. Manage to record some of it on video, but the webcam won't play it. Temperature drops away to +2C.
