Tha Donaidh MacAoidh a' coinneachadh nan gaisgich a tha a' str矛 ris an droch sh矛de. Tha Murchadh D貌mhnallach agus an sgioba SSEN a' dol a-mach far a bheil feum orra. Tha sgiobair ChalMac, M矛cheal MacN矛ll ag innse do Dhonaidh carson a chuireas e se貌laidhean dheth, agus tha Raibeart D貌mhnallach a' biathadh na othaisgean san t-sneachd.
Donnie Mackay braves Storms Gertrude and Henry to join the heroes who battle through, whatever the weather. Men like Murdo MacDonald, who works for SSEN in Lewis. When the weather closes in, Murdo and his team don their bright yellow jackets and head out to wherever their skills are needed most - in this case getting the power back on stream for the residents of Newmarket.
If you've every wondered who decides whether the ferry sails or not - Donnie has the answer. He meets CalMac skippers Michael MacNeil and Iain MacNeil to find out what criteria they take into consideration before cancelling a trip.
Weather forecaster Sarah Cruickshank is joined by meteorologists from Storm Geo, and asks them why our recent weather appears so extreme. And hill farmer Robert MacDonald, from Granton-on-Spey, is out in a snow storm feeding his pregnant ewes. Will the weather improve by the time the lambs arrive?
