Easter Snow Bunnies
16th April 2017
Lots of ‘Bunnies’ out today enjoying the hills. Light winds and good spells of sunshine. More snow overnight down to 600m, but it quickly thawed at lower levels as it warmed through the day. Good amount of fresh snow remaining above 750m.
Colder again tomorrow, generally cloudy and perhaps some fresh summit snow in the morning, but brightening later. The NNE wind will freshen through the day, with quite a windchill developing.
