UK Mountain Snow/Weather 2008

[Zerouali lives]

I play golf at Braemar on the first week in July every year and there is always some snow patches on the surrounding hills.

Can that tempeture of -1c be true?

[skifreak]

Nope. The camera is working but the temperature sensor isn't.

Could be some snow up there this weekend

(Not that it'll last long )

[NorthYorksWeather]

any news on snow patches?, its the only thing which keeps me going during these horrid summer months

[johnholmes]

likely to be some over the weekend, snow that is.

850-1000mb thickness is below the value needed for snow and the zero C isotherm is below 3000ft, also the ppn charts have some ppn over the Cairngorms area.

You really need to pay for the Net Wx Extra charts!

Examples coming up

here with 4 examples about possible snow falling from the list of Extra charts, there are lots more!

hello Paul, you have my address for the cheque!!

Precious snow! It makes me wish it was winter again. Oh well, in less than a month the nights will start getting shorter and the countdown will begin again!

A slight dusting on the tops, nothing that would boost the snow patchs.

The main street in Wengen yesterday, 4,500ft, the report gives 10cm of snow with over 30cm fresh snow higher up.

Ciste Fairway on CairnGorm is continuing to fill in and is just about skiable despite no base, t-bars still on the Tow but it looks like it will be milder tonight, shame this couldnt persist for another 3 days, lift served snowsports for the start of June, that will be the result of global warming then!

[MKN]

These photos come from winterhighland and i hope they dont mind me posting some of the snow patchs here. Taken from the 25 th of may onwards. Truly amazing photos, without hill walkers we would never get to see these great photos.

It really goes to show how much snow really falls. LOADS
