The Plateau Poma is back in business - around 8 inches of snow last night with considerable drifting and snow showers continuing to come in.
The good news for now is that the freezing level is sitting just above the Plateau Cafe and snow is falling well down the Access Chair. Currently the freezing level at 10am is 1600ft lower than the GFS or NMM forecast models 6z run projected.
Now the NMM hourly steps doesn't take the warm air to the south of the frontal system further North today than it was at 10am, but it remains to be seen whether the timing was a bit out and milder air comes North or whether the trajectory was a bit off. Radar shows heaviest precipitation to the South around Loch Lomond - so things do look a bit further South than predicted. It is all rather on a knife-edge!
We've added a new webcam at the Plateau Cafe looking at the sledging area.
