Mild & Damp for this first blog of the 2023/24 season.
14th December 2023
It was a showery day with perception falling mainly as rain, winds were moderate to fresh from a Westerly direction the freezing level rose above the summits. Currently there is very limited snow deposits and any shallow accumulations amount to a dusting mainly above 900 metres on Northerly aspects, these snow deposits do not warrant an avalanche hazard today.
Southerly aspect of the Aonach Eagach ridge.

Snow dusting seen here on Stob na Doire 1011 metres and Stob Coire Altruim 941 metres, note some remaining icy smears lingering from last weeks cold spell.
