Re: The Mother of all Snow Ramping Threads 2...
Hmmmmm..... Shame its deep into FI lala land.
In the shorter term it does look like there will be some snow for higher runs at Glencoe, Nevis and the 'Gorm this week. 850hpa temps aren't impressive by any stretch, but with the low pressures tracking over we're getting some pretty low 850hpa heights, below 4000ft at times.
There also looks likely to be at least some rain to all levels, Thursday AM (late Wed into early hours onwards) looks like seeing a warm sector.
That said there is a shot at some not insignificant falls of heavy wet snow for the upper slopes which could see a net accumulation over the week with some freeze/thaw cycling consolidating any drifts.
The note of caution though is, the potential heavier falls of snow flagged up on this morning runs are highly marginal, a shunt Northwards of <100miles (nothing in terms of global warming) could bring rain to all levels of the ski areas, while a bit further south would bring lower FL and somewhat drier snow at the tops.
