Snow to lower levels on Easterly winds
6th March 2019
After a clear cold night it snowed to lowers levels this morning snow was lying at 300 metres but this thawed quite quickly the main snow level remained at around 450 metres and this also started to rise as the day progressed. The Winds were moderate, strong at times from an Easterly direction. The freezing level fell to 500 metres then slowly rose to around 700 metres and will keep rising this evening.

Snow showers containing hail this morning, but more importantly they were also found sandwiched  within the snowpack, these can  cause instabilities leading to failures in the snowpack
