There was further snowfall overnight with some heavier showers during the day. Great to have some brief glimpses of the hills as showers passed but with snow blowing around picking out detail was difficult.
Snowfall is due to ease over the next 48 hours.
A view to the Cairnwell and The Tiger chair. These aspects have had many days of exposure to strong winds.
West aspects have deep and unstable accumulations. We are regularly seeing a weaker layer at depth within these deposits.
The snowblowers were out trying to clear roads today. A challenging task in todays strong winds.
