Olive trees and snowy mountains

The last few days have brought fresh snow to the High Atlas mountains - with even some snow on the lower south facing slopes!

Current weather / snow for the High Atlas

Warmer southerly winds on the 30th and 31st December which raised the snowline to around 2700m on N & NE facing slopes released about half a metre of new snow above 3250m. This has now stabilised and the current spell of cold northerly winds and blue skies seems set to continue until the end of the week.

Wrap up well....!
