A gradual return to winter
13th March 2025
There has been a gradual return to winter in the last 24 hours as snow depths have become more extensive on the high plateau areas. What appeared to be largely superficial accumulations yesterday have become more widespread.
Visibility was generally poor, with a few images snapped in the better clear spells.
Intense showers are likely to create a period of drifting and windslab accumulation overnight. Isolated deposits are likely to exhibit weaknesses, although these are expected to dissipate later as the snow consolidates due to solar radiation on southerly aspects. The Avalanche Hazard will be Moderate.
