Winter of 2014: the story so far
Date Posted: 14.07hrs on Mon 20 Jan 14
------------------
EDIT: ERROR: It transpires that the photo of The Lecht below was actually taken "years ago" ... and the snow on the chairlift seems to have been manmade! See comments ...

Apologies. The photo went up on the Lecht FB page yesterday morning and I made the mistake of putting 2+2 together!
------------------

Perhaps this could be a place to archive memorable images as the story unfolds. This morning was certainly 'a tale of two peaks'.

The Lecht, which tends to cash in with easterly storms, has had a raw deal so far this winter. Glencoe, in contrast, seems to be brimming over with snow from the Atlantic (though this latest SE storm has been annoyingly marginal at 2000-2500ft, in terms of freezing, it seems). No Scottish winter is the same as the last - that's for sure!

[Hope I've got the meteorology reasonably correct - this is being typed in London]
