Snowline and depth update

hi Guys,

could you guys give an update of this question by Christmas?
Allready snow covering the mountains and passes for the moment?

we arrive in Morocco on 26 of december.

thanks a lot!


So the last few days has seen a fair amount of rain in the valleys of the Moroccan High Atlas which obviously translates into snow higher up! The question is - how high? To be honest it's hard to say right now as it's still raining and the mountains are totally cloud covered - at least from where we are! The freezing level today is down to 2400m today but this is set to rise up to 3800m over the weekend.

Our best guess until we can see the mountains is fresh snow on all slope aspects down to 2350m with this new snow falling onto an existing snowbase from 2750m.

With strong W-WNW winds today (which we can definitely vouch for!) at 22 m/s at 4000m, the main risk is some windslab on E and SE facing slopes above 3400m.

Wind speed conversions:-
for KPH - multiply the m/s figure by 3.6
for MPH - multiply the m/s figure by 2.25
