A great day in Lochaber!
20th January 2018
It was a fantastic day in Lochaber today, especially after the cloud lifted late morning. There is loads of deep fresh snow at all aspects. Some extensive accumulations of soft unstable snow, especially on the steep aspects. The freezing level is due to rise tomorrow so that should make the snowpack increasingly unstable and will lead to a period of natural avalanche activity.
Although tomorrow might not be that pleasant, it will help to consolidate the snowpack quite a bit before the return to more winter conditions on Monday and through next week
The slow commute to work this morning. Just west of Glenfinnan with Ben Nevis in the background
Obvious evidence of recent wind direction and drifting

Lots of snow!
