18th February 2020
Lots of the new snow that fell last night and this morning was drifting in the strong mainly Westerly winds today. North to South-East aspects above 700 metres are most affected.

More spin drift, snow being moved onto the North-East facing slope on the left side of the picture at around 700 metres.
