Hasta la vista Nieve

4th March 2025

Considering the quite dramatic change, forecast overnight and through tomorrow, I thought I’d use a dramatic title for this post. If Arne was a forecaster eh !!! It would be interesting to see how he phrased things. See you later snow indeed!

So to the forecast. We are expecting very heavy rain overnight tonight, plus 4 degrees on the summits, and Gale force winds, and it will continue to be wet and mild throughout Wednesday. By the end of the day tomorrow I am expecting very little, if any snow, left in the Torridon forecast area. Perhaps there will be some small lingering patches in the Fannichs.

The challenge tomorrow will be trying to see if anything has survived, as going high is likely to be off the cards again, and visibility will be poor. We will try though.
