Mild and Wet
28th February 2015
A dreich day! The showers ‘merged’ into constant light rain with pulses of heavier precipitation thrown in for good measure. Cloud base hovered around 6-700m and the freezing level rose to 900m by early afternoon. Fresh snow accumulations only on the higher tops along with strong SW winds.
A grim view of Liathach, (Pyramid Buttress) with the snow level rising in the mild temperatures.
The softening old snowpack made for good walking!
At the profile site. Despite the rain, it was good not to be taking notes covered in spindrift.
At the profile site. A surface layer of very large loose wet grains.
Sgurr Dubh 782m and snow disappearing fast.
