Icing… (Not the cake sort!!)
Overnight a period very wet snow / sleet was followed by a sudden drop in temperatures, freezing the wet sticky snow solid to the anemometers on our CairnGorm weather stations at the SSC Hut and the Sheiling.
The Weather Stations were de-iced on Friday afternoon and should remain spinning freely while the temperature remains well below freezing. Problems usually occur when temperature is just around freezing and precipitation falling followed by a drop in temperature.
