Stormy with blizzards at high elevations and avalanche activity…
20th January 2024
Last night Frequent snow showers these were drifting snow on very strong winds South-Westerly forming deep accumulations to build in wind sheltered locations. Today the freezing level has slowly risen above the highest summits in Glen Coe with further scattered showers which fell as snow mainly above 900 metres, the South-Westerly winds eased slightly. Several avalanches were noted today on North-West and North-East aspects.

Visibility was generally poor today this photo at around 1000 metres, however there were some blighter intervals later.
Brighter conditions on Meall a’ Bhuiridh and Creise on the way back to base after the descent.
