Spring-like snowpack and spring-like weather today. The slow thaw continues at most levels, but remaining firm around the higher summits as the freezing level hovered around 1000m. Little snow exists below 500m.
Above 2 photos. The north-east aspects of the Munros, Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich, Sgurr Mor and Meall a’ Chrasgaidh. Reasonable snow cover remains above 800m, although some exposed summit slopes and ridges are bare.
(Above) The Beinn Dearg range. Typical snow cover on southerly aspects. Good sunny spells this morning, but a strong south wind.
