First Day of Spring
20th March 2016
Mostly dry and cloudy today with a few brighter spells. It felt cool and humid in the North-West wind. The precipitation in Torridon did not materialise as expected although some heavier drizzle arrived late afternoon. It can be quite awkward to predict the intensity of decaying fronts and amounts of precipitation associated with them as they drift through high pressure systems. More of the same for tomorrow.
The usual view of Creag Dhubh, Beinn Eighe and the diminishing snowpack.
Coire an Laoigh, Beinn Eighe – the site for the snow profile.
Ptarmigan. The males are turning to summer plumage quicker than the females. Males also have the red eye flashes, very distinct when they are anxious.
Most ridges and summits are bare of snow.
Low cloud and high snowline above Glen Torridon.
