Lochnagar
22nd February 2025
First day with reasonable visibility after the mild temperatures and heavy rain destroyed much of the snow cover. A quick trip in to Lochnagar showed that while we have lost a lot of snow, the easy snow gullies are hanging on in there…. at the moment. Tomorrow’s weather looks very poor with rain and seriously strong winds. The outlook for later in the week does show temperatures starting to lower – so it’s not all over just yet.
