Cold and Windy
29th December 2017
The theme for today was ‘spindrift’. Cold temperature, loose snow and a strong East wind combined to re-distribute lying snow onto wind sheltered aspects producing unstable windslab, albeit, mostly quite localised. Cross loading was a notable feature today also. The wind will ease tonight, with a bit warmer tomorrow as light rain, sleet and snow arrives along with strengthening South-Westerlies.

The ‘haze’ over the distant Achnashellach hills is indicative of spindrift – lying loose snow re-distributed onto lee aspects.
