Actually really good news as the southerly winds should blow a lot of the fresh powder over onto the lee slopes and fill up the north facing coire headwalls and gullies with wet snow that will freeze hard once the temperatures drop -that's the theory anyway...!
BTW despite the thaw the forest tracks were sheets of ice today due to the melting of the surface snow. Crampons were usefull outside my cottage...!
