NORTHERN CORRIES, COLDER, SNOWIER

Gullies filling up, Coire an Lochain

Coire an Lochain

Sub zero temperatures again

Rime ice

Fun way out of the corrie

Skies cleared late afternoon

The temperatures have remained well below freezing on the summits the last few days. Yesterday we had some more snow falling to lower levels. A wander around the Northern Corries today. Fun way out of Cooire an Lochain via the crags over on the West side where there was some ice but not in quantity. The tops were shrouded in cloud by mid day. High windchill and lots of rime ice over the rocks. First major snowfall over in The Cairngorms forecasted tonight and most of tomorrow so things shaping up nicely.
