Snow down to sea level in Christchurch.Br. Paul Mary, F.SS.R. and Br. Xavier Maria, F.SS.R.
were to have left Christchurch today
to return to Papa Stronsay for two months.
With flights cancelled
they will now come home a day or so later!
When they arrive back they may not be missing too much.
The great advantage of our Orkney climate
is that we can often have winter conditions even in the summer!
Today's is the worst snow since 1997.
