Well at least its dry !
14th January 2025
Plus 4 degrees celsius on the summits today and a strong SW wind. I often think of this as being like a “hair dryer” blasting the snow, which of course leads to fairly quick snow loss. Or, as a colleague put it earlier today, “who left the heating on” !
But… at least it’s not raining as well ! Rain with these temperatures would strip all remaining snow from the hills extremely quickly, and thankfully, it looks fairly dry for the next couple of days.
Small mercies indeed.
The South side of Beinn Eighe ridge from Spidean Coire Nan Clach, over Sgurr Ban to Sgurr nan Fhir Duibhe and the Black carls in the distance.
Looking back down Coire an Laogh with Loch Clair in the distance.
Snow amounts on Beinn Eighes Ridgeline. Looking along to the offshoot of Stuc Coire an Laoigh
The Black carls, looking more like a rock scramble at the moment.
Beinn Eighe ridge on right, with Liathach in the murk in the distance.
The SE aspects of Coire an Laogh. Greatest amounts of snow found on this aspect above around 800m.
Although not on our “patch”, Beinn Dearg from across Loch Broom showing significant snow loss, from an off duty forecaster.
