Poor vis and diminishing snow
4th November 2020
Covid-19
A milder day in the Northern Cairngorms with Cairn Gorm summit basking in a temperature of -0.5 degrees Celsius today.
The snow will diminish rapidly tomorrow, and we will most likely see a return to brown hillsides and pink granite. At lower elevations the visibility was excellent today with the odd shaft of sunlight breaking through the cloud.
As the snow is expected to diminish, forecasts are expected to cease until the return of significant winter conditions. Regular reports for all areas will be issued from Friday the 11th December.
