Happy New Year

Lets hope for more days like this next year.       Have a 'good new year'.

No it was not like this today in Glencoe!

Fresh snow

Fresh snow and strong winds in Glen Coe today. Plenty of people out and about. The freezing level was around 600m or 700m at midday, but rising through the day.

The thaw continues.

Another wet and mild day in Glen Coe. The snowpack is taking a bit of a hit. Hopefully a bit colder tomorrow.

Happy Christmas from a wet and windy Glen Coe

The snowpack has refrozen and is icy in places.

Good this morning returning to snow showers in the afternoon.

Plenty of snow for the start of SAIS reports.

1st April in Glencoe

A very white day in Glen Coe. Deep snow meant that getting up to this point was pretty hard work.

Loads of fresh snow today above about 250 metres. Very poor visibility on the hill.

Still layers of graupel creating instabilities within the snowpack, especially where being overloaded which significant amounts of fresh windslab.

Fresh snow at Black Rock cottage (alt 310m).

Fresh snow in the White Coires ski area carpark (alt 360m).

The view over to Stob Coire an Lochan during a brief clear spell.

Lots of graupel blowing about in some strong and gusty winds.

It had snowed down to valley level this morning although it warmed slightly this afternoon.

Drifts are to be found in any sheltered locations but most aspects have also got very scoured areas as well.

Looking down to the ski area. Excellent ski-ing where there is new snow.

Graupel was noted in the snowpack. This may have an influence on stability if buried in forecasted snow.

Buachaille Etive Mor looks a bit more wintry now.

It was a bit warmer today than forecast and pretty well rained most of the morning.

I went up to Coire nan Lochan again today as it's a good way to the snowline. There was a few guided groups in again today enjoying the 'winter ' conditions.

A cloudier day today.

A fine day.

Looking at an Easterly aspect.

A brighter day in Glencoe

A mild damp day in Glencoe - wet snow avalanches occurred today.
