Things starting to look interesting  GFS and ECM have now been in agreement for a few runs for a northerly outbreak towards the end of next week (bit of very nice potential after that too).

lady camera now shutdown for today 
Quote from Winterhighland "Should warn you that the system is programmed to automatically shut down about 2.30 this afternoon, this was a pre-planned test to check that the system can restart itself and was programmed in 10 days ago before the forecast was known as a possible trip to the hill was planned for this weekend"

Light dusting on the Lady cam this morning ( http://www.winterhighland.info/testcam/ ) and no problems with icing. So it looks like a good location at the moment. Have to see waht its like when the snow comes from a different direction though.

kitenski, not the car park, those cams are on the SSC hut which is just above the bottom of the white lady t-bar. Although having said that, if it's -1.1 C there, it will be snowing at the car park. 
Nice chunky flakes too !

The new weather station is located at or close to the SSC hut at midstation level (AFAIK) and is looking for a sponsor. Looks quite promising for the start of a base to build. Not suer I want to drive over on Sunday though. I'm hoping we might get a decent amount of snow down to a lower level so i could get some skiing in at the Clash, which for me is a lot closer, but I don't think its going to happen.

I know it's a "how long is a pice of string" question but.....
Is there likely to be any/some/much Scottish skiing over Christmas/New Year?? I'm planning ob heading up North and am trying to decide whether to hope to ski or plan to walk the WHW.

Elizabeth B, i reckon its a hit or miss, should you decide skiing, there will be no snow, and walking-well you will be walking in the snow!

...because the funicular is still in it's maintenance window, so there no uplift is available!
