The cold front arrived Sunday morning and the snow began to fall imediatly after giveing very little time for the turf to firm up. We had 3 inches of new snow at sea level here in Conon Bridge and there will have been lots more up high. The snow at sea level thawed today but it stayed cold up high and tonight its forecast to be very cold indeed. The exposed turf should be in good condition if you pick your route and venue carefully. I took this photo of Ben Wyvis on the drive back home from Alan Mullins' funneral and the sun made a brief appearence before the snow showers came back.
A strong party is heading into Beinn Eighe on Tuesday with their eye on a new line. Another party mentioned Foinhaven on Wednesday if conditions stay cold. Winter isn't over just yet...
