Proper Wintry

21st February 2016

Overnight accumulations of fresh snow are mostly at mid levels with some deep drifts. Higher up, exposed windward areas are scoured or with superficial snow cover. However, there are many sheltered locations with areas of deep windslab but theses are generally avoidable.
