Short sharp thaw and refreeze

Todays quick thaw and refreeze has stripped some of the thinner snow cover but will harden the existing snow and help fatten the ice. Unfortunately it's to be stormy and bitterly cold with a lot of new snow forecast over the Easter.

It could be a really wild and busy weekend so make sure you check out the SAIS Cairngorm avalanche report, MWIS weather forecast and read about recent incidents in the local paper the Badenoch and Strathspey Herald ! Good once the weather settles again though...
