Comments

Revisiting Hilda's today and conditions significantly deteriorated over past couple of days.

Warming temperatures + greenhouse effect making the snow damp to 1650m (possibly higher) and producing small (sz 0.5) loose wet on solar aspects. Looking across into Big Steep Mother, open areas look very wind affected.

Looking forward to a much needed refresh! Not recommended at the moment.
