I feel that I have learnt so much about the ever changing snow pack from your blogs, you make it come alive and hopefully help to keep me alive! Thanks again for all the effort you put into the report in some pretty grim weather…except today…
Cheers Callum

Hi Callum,
Many thanks for your kind comment and support for our blog. Pleased you find it useful.
For some reason the weather is normally awful when I’m the duty forecaster so it’s a welcome surprise when I have a run of a few days when the sky is an unfamiliar blue colour with a blinding yellow ball in it!
(I really must stop sniffing when I’m shooting video. It sounds terrible when I replay it!)

Hi Andrew,
You’re right! The howling wind normally disguises my dreadful snivelling so in future I’ll be muting the sound on still days!
