Back to Skye from Ft. William today. A bit warmer, low on the car was +3C around Bun Loyn and on Skye with a snow warning active. Plenty of snow on the tops, including The Cuillin and outliers (Blaven etc). Snow line around 500m at a guess.

Plenty snow around on hills now, was lying on roads down to around 220m earlier today, but level rose as afternoon went on.

Cairngorm are considering opening for limited snow sports at the weekend.  Hope they are serious other than just using the "maybe" as a PR/Publicity stunt to get news coverage through the week.

Based on the webcam image Doc posted, and the latest GFS showing mild air not reaching the 'Gorms till late on Sunday, I'd say it should be open

Could be a very different picture next Monday though!

The ptarmigan bowl certainly looks to have sufficient snow (I also saw a friends photo of a drift ~ 10ft in the same area), if they can get the tows working - might have caught them by suprise re maintenance etc?  

Snow now nearly down to the valley at glencoe:

Surprise couple inch snowfall down to about 200m west of Tyndrum this morning (localised over a 5mile or so stretch)

Cairngorms has opened for skiing today too http://www.cairngormmountain.org/webcams/live/ptarmigan1.jpg

Yup. its all about where the wind deposits the snow.   It is blowing an absolute hoolie here just now, so id imagine the worst be with you in an hour or two.  Nearly lost the power a few times but its held up so far.

Hopefully one or two of the areas will be open at the weekend

Gloomy, misty and few patches of blue, 0.9 overnight and 1.3 now. Mountain snow starting to look a little patchy as upper air warms slowly. Not my favourite weather at the moment and not much hope of a change on the horizion .

Cold Zonality is my favourite weather for deep snow and cold here, the current synoptics are not good and the period now until mid January is my favourite time here if the weather is cold. Even wet and windy / stormy would be more fun!!!!

Your probably aware, but if not, this camera is across the river from you for checking road conditions without needing to leave the house

Its a barmy 6.6 degrees here now, a lovely springlike day out there. Just off to have a walk near Loch Ness before guests arrive. Its been an amazing year and very fortunate.

Great pictures

Agree😁

I was on Lochnagar on Saturday 23rd, same day as Ross above but about 10 miles east and a little higher. Lots of deep snow on the southern approach to the mountain from Loch Muick, blown by the northerly gale on Wednesday last week. Not so much on top as most has been blown off, but a couple of inches of rime on everything.

There was a thin mist coming and going on the summit giving some very eerie atmospheric effects. Summit temp was -2 with about 15 knots of wind, so not bad at all.

Just had the phone today as my camera is broken, so the quality is not great.

Brilliant photo's , please keep them coming.

I,ve no idea about posting pictures, sorry Seaside, but sure someone will help you.

YOu can upload them to imageshack or that type of site and then post them on here via that.

Otherwise, if you can get the photo in a format where you can click "Copy image", then you can just copy and paste. What I do is bring up the image on my facebook, not in the "surrounded by black" way, but refreshing so it is on the screen as a normal image. Then "copy image" and paste in here.
