Fragile crust
13th January 2024
High pressure has slipped away and been replaced by a cold North-Westerly airstream, this could potentially bring with it some snow fall down to glen levels over the next few days. A new fragile crust has developed at higher levels, this was due to the freezing level rising to the summits before falling again this morning. In some areas this overlies a thin soft layer of snow, which makes the crust more friable.

Looking up the Ciste Gully from Glenmore. The cloud base remained around this altitude for most of the day.
