Cold, windy conditions.
15th December 2018
There was a dusting of new snow above 150 metres companied by strong South-Easterly winds. These were scouring and whipping the snow as it tried to fall leaving it in sheltered hollows at lower elevations. Summit temperature was around minus 5 degrees celsius but felt much colder with the wind chill. At the time of this report very little new snow exists. See photos for a comparison.
Today 15th Dec – Buachaille Etive Mor – a slight trace of new snow making the photo look a lot lighter.
Yesterday 14th Dec. – Buachaille Etive Mor.
