Above the clouds
16th February 2024
Damp and grey conditions at Glen level this morning. Heading high up paid off as from about 600 metres I was above the valley clouds. There was some higher cloud as well but I was rewarded for my efforts with some spectacular views of the Torridon area.
Mild conditions continue through the weekend. After a dry morning tomorrow some rain will develop in the afternoon. Sunday also looking mild. The snowpack will continue to thaw and diminish. Greatest amounts remain in gullies and around coire rims on North through East to South East aspects above 750 metres. Increasingly patchy elsewhere.
Photos show the remaining snow cover on Beinn Eighe and the surround hills.
