Snow down to low levels this evening making road travel difficult.
The Cairngorms climbing venues were again surprisingly quiet today despite white frosted crags, good neve and thick ice in places. The old snow has re-frozen hard where wind scoured with deep drifts on sheltered lee aspects. The low level cross-country forest trails have started to fill in but unfortunately today the new snow was lying on soft wet unfrozen ground in many places.
They've now found yesterdays missing plane near the Cairngorm ski area. Full details can be found here on the BBC News website.
