Cold South-Easterly airflow…
18th December 2022
The freezing level was around 500 metres with a fresh South-Easterly wind making it feel much colder. It was predominantly dry although plenty of snow was being blown around in the fresh winds.
Avalanche Forecast for Monday 19th December: A rapid rise in the freezing levels accompanied by large amounts of rain and driving winds will saturate the snowpack. This will lead to wet snow instabilities on most steep slopes on all slope aspects above 750 metres where avalanches are likely. Cornices will be prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.
