Another fine winter’s day.
19th January 2015
It was another fine winter’s day in Glen Coe (I could get use day’s like these). However, don’t let the fine weather lull you into a false sense of security, there are some quite unstable patches of windslab about. The last picture shows a crack that I created by standing on a small patch of this slab, not very well bonded at the base. I saw the first hints of faceting within the snowpack today, and with the temperature forecast to stay low, these will continue to develop, preventing the consolidation of the existing windslab deposits.
