Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Some fresh the last couple of days on the Glencoe summit camera. If the temp was a degree or so colder there would be impressive cover up there now because it was like the monsoon season yesterday!

... here's a nice optimistic (for us) article from the Strathspey and Badenoch Herald (Strathy) about the prospects for the winter in Scotland:

Heavy snow flurries forecast for strath in October

I particularly like this bit:
Quote:
... this coming winter is expected to be harder than that of 2009/10.

His long-range forecast that 2011 would be one of the coldest summers for many years – first made in January – has proved to be correct.
Madden said: "As we head towards winter and in terms of the Scottish Highlands, I expect to see the first signs of some moderate to heavy snowfalls as early as October or November.

"In terms of the meteorological winter, I expect December, January, and February to experience below average temperatures, with the worst of the snowfall occurring around November to January."

He said that the impact of low solar activity and ocean behaviour alter atmospheric circulation and block jet stream patterns enhancing moisture in the air which falls as snow.

I also rather like this:
Quote:
It snowed on the highest tops of the Cairngorms at the end of last month. Dr Adam Watson, an expert on the range’s snow patches, said that the snow on the 28th was the most persistent August snowfall since 1945.

Let's hope the speculation is correct and it's another great season for Scottish snow snowHead

Lets say that had it not been for the exceptional cool spell at the end of August extending the survival of the last of the winter 2011 snow on CairnGorm Mountain in the Ciste Mhearaidh into the first few days of September, that dusting might well have been getting skied on! As it is such antics can wait for October, a month of nervous weather watching to try and complete the feat of 2 continuous years of linked turns on CairnGorm Mountain every month. Will we get month 24, keep watching those cams!

I ordered an all area pass today. It should at the very least pay for itself and will save me a couple of hundred pounds if the last few seasons are anything to go by. Fingers crossed for a good'n Little Angel

Alans deep bath, that's always been my logic too but I thought I'd tempt fate. I'm planning on an Alps trip at Xmas as well as Easter so may get 40+ days in this season with a bit of luck. Smile
