The lambing snows
5th April 2024
Heavy snow in April is quite common and often called the lambing snow due to the problems it causes for farmers. There was heavy snow last night above around 300 metres. Light snow showers in the morning turned to rain as the freezing level rose through the day.
Significant areas of fresh windslab are present. See the avalanche report for full details.
Visibility was poor today at higher elevations with cloud on most of the mountains. Photos below showing what I could see of the fresh snow.
