Gradual Thaw
4th April 2023
A gradual thaw continues at all levels. The snow surface firmed up overnight in the colder temperatures then softened during the day as the freezing level rose above the summits with strong South-South-Westerly winds. Although it was a mainly cloudy day, the cloud level remained above the summits giving good views for most of the day. Snow cover is becoming increasingly patchy with largest areas remaining above 1000 metres on the summit plateaus, gullies and corrie back walls.
