Storm Georgina
24th January 2018
Last night the freezing level rose to just above the summits in Glen Coe, this was accompanied by rain and gale force South-Westerly winds. Today started out the same but the freezing level lowered to around 830 metres and snow was being blown around in all directions above this elevation. At lower levels it was wet than wet! Storm Georgina is moving away to the North-East this evening and the winds should now decrease and it will get colder.
