Fresh snow on the high Cairngorms this morning at 0900 hours. All but gone by 1015.
Reports of May's average temperature in Scotland being 2.4 degrees above normal: the highest since 1914.
Ah but May was pretty dry, which I guess explains why the snow hasn't exactly been vanishing quickly. It's that warm SW hairdryer and rain that really strips back the snow - something which has been largely absent since February and long may it stay that way. Imagine how much snow there would still be without the 5 day thaw in February..........
