⚠️ Road conditions across are poor this morning. Our gritting crews are attempting to clear significant drifts, after overnight snow and strong winds. We're asking all drivers to DELAY their journey until later, when roads are passable. shetland.gov.uk/news/article/2…

07:30 hours- Shetland.

Please do not travel unless absolutely necessary.

Due to snow drifts and more snow falling over night this has caused the majority of the sides roads to become impassable.
Main routes are covered in snow and some areas are single carriageway.
