Snow Watch 2014

Most of the snow of late is 'wet' and 'sleety', this means it melts very quickly and much of it does not settle. For instance, the sleet/snow at Afriski this morning was later on replaced by drizzle. THe snowfall altitude is probably closer to about 3400m - so Mafadi summit area (although small), had a reasonable dump during the night of 7-8 August. THe falls have also been isolated rather than scattered. The best chance for snow is during the late afternoon-night-first half of the morning - and far less so from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
