Snow on the Scottish mountains - 2014

[stewfox]

I assume this winter could deliver a lot of wind driven snow based on  westerly/ north westerlies synoptics.

 

Which would help retain the snow in the summer.

Creag Meagaidh rolls ‘snake eyes’ in the full depth avalanche crapshoot! This size 3 event occurred yesterday afternoon during relatively mild conditions (although it wasn’t exactly ‘shirt-sleeves, Raybans & Factor 30′ weather by all accounts) and must have been quite a spectacle. The crownwall is 1m to 3m high, approx 80m wide and ran out 300m down to the top of the mature birch tree-line. http://meagaidhblog.sais.gov.uk/2015/02/snake-eyes/
