A cosmetic freshen up.
4th April 2024
Walking in today, the hills looked fresh and white after a “wee” dusting of fresh snow overnight. This was all fairly cosmetic, and did not change anything in relation to the current snowpack stability… but it looked nice! with the older snowpack looking fresh and bright.
Overnight tonight and into tomorrow we are expecting a fair amount of fresh snow on strong Easterly winds. This will deposit unstable windslab on wind sheltered South-West to North-West aspects, above 900 metres. Cross-loading of this windslab onto the older snowpack on Northerly aspects is also expected. Please see the main report for more details.
Atmospheric walk into Creag Meagaidh this morning.
The post face of Creag Meagaidh. Not much sign of ice hanging in. It may be different, high up in the inner coire.
Coire a Chriochairein’s East aspect, showing some decent snow cover above 950 metres.
Chno Dearg and Stob Coire Sgriodain, just off our patch, showing that there’s not that much snow on Northerly aspects below 950 metres.
