Chilly wind on Lochnagar
22nd December 2018
No precipitation today but a variable cloud base from around 950 metres meant that Lochnagar never completely cleared this morning. There was a cold Westerly providing quite a significant wind chill at altitude. There’s hard old snow on the path to Lochnagar which was easy to avoid – What is tricky to see is the thin verglas layer on a lot of the stones on the path – pretty slippy conditions underfoot at times.
No change in the conditions tomorrow with more of the same – winds might be slightly lighter though.
