There were icy roads and paths today. Breakable crust on the hill, occasionally the snow surface would support ones weight but suffice to say its hard going breaking trail. The low temperatures are preserving the weaknesses which are persisting within the snow pack. Redistribution of the snow, even although there is quite a wide-spread surface crust is forming wind slab on wind sheltered terrain. Earlier this morning I saw some clouds of spindrift cascading down steeper ground. Good route choice is essential.
Liatach this morning with mist and spindrift.
