Winter returning

11th March 2026

The temperature dropped today and there were snow showers, heaviest before dawn. Gale force winds have caused unstable windslab  to be deposited on North to East aspects above 1000 metres. The older snowpack has frozen and has a firm surface.

It’s forecast to remain windy and reasonably cold with further snow showers for the next few days with the wind easing on Saturday.
