John o' Lunnaness was watching the snow coming down this morning, although fortunately it wasn't lying on the ground. John didn't know about the Gab o' May, as he comes from Shetland, so I gently explained to him that it is a cold storm, early May, which comes after the Teuchat Storm. I did also need to tell him what that is ... He was very happy to learn that it had already passed in April, as it comes when the teuchats (lapwings) return. He is a contented bear now.
