Weather

The snow is falling thick and fast this morning and we're predicted a 5 to 15cm layer by the time it stops at around 11am. This afternoon, clear skies return as the clouds drops in altitude so from up the hill, you'll have a stunning view of a sea of clouds resting in the valleys. The high Westerly winds remain in force with gusts of 50 to 60km/h in exposed areas, although this is due to lessen a little and gradually turn to a Northerly direction. Maximum temps of +2°C at 2000m and -1°C at 3000m can be expected.

We're looking at a mild and partially cloud covered night ahead.
