I think its snowed like once since the beginning of winter up here in scotland!

You haven't been to the Cairngorm mountains then - it was mental when I went a couple of weeks ago![]()

Anyone see that program about Scotland the other week and the cairngornms and other mountains, pretty bad winter a few years back and quite a few lives lost. I didn't realise it got that bad up there![]()

Winter of 2010/11, current snow depth on the mountains has now exceeded that. Glencoe for example has nearly 3m of snow on the ski slope, which compares to Whistler/several Alpine resorts which currently have 1.2m snow depth!
It's been snowing on the hills for weeks on end, and climbers frequently lose their lives in winters on the hills. Snow or no snow, when the weather closes in on a munro visibility can be atrocious and one wrong step could send you off a ridge and down a gully very easily.
