It’s snowing at the top!

It’s always exiting when the first snows arrive. The outside team has just radioed down to say it is snowing at the top! It’s a bit cloudy so there is not much to see, but if the forecast for the next few days is accurate we are likely to see a few white Munroes.  It’s at this time of year the hills are beginning to look their best with rich autumn colours and white tops.  Although there’s a lot of weather between now and the real winter, it’s a reminder that winter is on its way.

If you visit the web cam page you will see some new views and regular updates from both cameras. We have also installed a weather station at the tunnel mouth so you can see exactly what’s going on. These improvements are part of our on going programme to provide our winterports customers with good quality information and the best service we can.  The team is now very much focused on preparing for the winter; let’s hope it is as good as the last one. The long range is predicting a colder than average season.   Bob

    HHOOOOORAAAYYYY!
    I am watching the web-cam.
    That means you’ve had just two snow-free months. Congratulations!
    What is the science behind predicting long-term forecasts? Is it sun-spots, returning patterns in weather or do you just feel it in your bones?
