More snow fall on gale force winds again today. The snow showers were frequent but mainly light. The best of any bright skies were at the start and at the end of the day. It was quiet on the hill today, very few folk around now. It's a great time to be out, long days, snow and some great light when the sun appears! A quick romp over the Fiacaill a Choire Sneachda today. The gale force winds blowing right across the ridge line, great fun. Big areas of old snow now frozen hard and wind scoured. Fresh wind slab, especially on E & NE aspects. Some ice has formed in places. A very wintry day with snow being blown around everywhere and goggles were definitely an asset! Much quieter day tomorrow and the weekend looks like it could be a lovely sunny time. Don't forget the shades and sunscreen!
