Blizzard Conditions in the Morning
31st January 2015
Gales and heavy snow in the morning made for difficult walking with gusts stopping us in our tracks. Deep drifts were collecting in any sheltered location. By early afternoon, the snowfall turned to heavy squally showers, mainly of graupel – very good for the complexion! There are weaknesses in the recent storm snowpack and we observed avalanche activity on a SE aspect on Liathach.
Heavy snow, gales and poor visibility in Glen Torridon early on.
Fighting uphill against the gusts and glad of a pole for support!
Spindrift rising off exposed ridges and summits.
Liathach with snow accumulating on the south side.
East end of Beinn Eighe with obvious areas of snow deposition and of scouring.
