It was a cool settled day in Lochaber. Dark watery skies to the South would have been the Northern edge of Storm Christoph which looks like it is giving a wet day in Southern Scotland and Northern England.
Over the past few the snowpack has been slowly building in Lochaber with cornices, for example, looking slightly larger than they were last week. However, the difference is not too dramatic.

The top of Easy Gully. The cornices have grown a bit since I was last passing this way four days ago. Photos taken from similar positions to this and to the top photo can be seen in the blog post from the 15th https://lochaberblog.sais.gov.uk/2021/01/approaching-from-the-west/
