Rain then snow
1st April 2026
Very mild during the morning with showers of rain at all levels, this turned to snowfall down to glen levels by mid afternoon as the freezing level plummeted to 900 metres. The remaining snowpack felt spring like, with greatest extent above 900 metres, on coire back walls, ridge flanks and the main plateau. This is expected to gradually become firm with serious run out potential on steep slopes.
This morning, views of Coire an t-Sneachda, Fiachaill Coire an t-Sneachda, Lochain to the right.
