Showers; Some Sunshine Later!
13th December 2021
Showers, some heavy, eased in the afternoon giving some nice sunny spells. The showers were driven on a fresh South-West wind, with snow settling generally above 700m. There is a dusting of fresh snow above this height, but the old snowpack is refrozen and stable throughout. Pockets of new windslab are developing in steep sheltered locations at higher elevations.
Below are some panoramas of the Fannaich mountains showing the current snowpack distribution. Most old snow remains on North through East to South-East aspects above 750m.
