Storm force winds

Covid-19
The Scottish Avalanche Information Service would recommend that those wishing to enjoy the winter mountains refer to Mountaineering Scotland and Scottish Government advice regarding Covid-19 and outdoor activities.
Heavy rain at all levels during the afternoon, this was accompanied by gale to storm force Southerly winds with gusts of over 90mph. Â Highs of plus 4 degrees C on the summit of Cairngorm. Above 900 metres the Cairngorms are still largely covered in snow, this remains deep in places. Â Below this level patches remain in hollows and shallow gullies.
Backs to the wind at 600 metres; blowing a hooli from the South!
