Rain, Rain and more Rain!
11th January 2020
Overnight, the freezing level rose to well above the summits with storm force Southerly winds these were accompanied by heavy persistent rain. These condition have continued through the day resulting in a massive thaw stripping most of the snow cover leaving only patches of the older snow in sheltered northerly locations. The freezing level did lower slightly which has produced a dusting of snow above 1000 metres.

Looking into Stob Coire nam Beith not a patch of snow to be seen only large amount of snow melt pouring off the hill sides.

Looking into Stob Coire nan Lochan, saturated snow patches can be seen above 950 metres in the misty clouds.
