A Wintry New Years Day.

1st January 2025

Not at much snow arrived as was expected but nonetheless it was good to have winter conditions arrive.  A thin cover on most aspects becoming a bit deeper and widespread above 900 metres or so.  Whiteout and blizzards at times in the heavy snow squalls at higher elevations. Poor visibility above 800m. Quite a lot of drifting above 900m with deeper accumulations               (sometimes waist deep) in wind sheltered places on a range of Southerly aspects and in wind sheltered hollows.

Looking toward Loch Morlich from around 700m.

looking toward Coire an Lochain and Lurchers Meadow.

Loch Morlich and Meall a Buachaille from Coire na Ciste.
