Here's how windy an Inverness beach was yesterday. It was like the sand was alive like an evil beast from a science fiction programme. The first two shots were looking up wind. The third shot showed the sand blowing away from us and disappearing into the sea

Also our first proper frost this morning at about -3C on this side of the Little Pond near Trondheim in Norway (the first frost gets later and later), so we're obviously in the same weather system...
