First snow's of the year pics?

Postby sloosh on Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:44 am

Reading the weather forecast I saw it was supposed to snow on the tops. As I haven't been out and won't be able to get out for about a week or so (at least), I wondered if anyone has any pics of the first autumn snows?

Patience, Grasshopper. Have you considered that it has probably snowed somewhere in the hills at various times all through the year? Loch A'an in the Cairngorms frequently has snow in summer months, as do many of the high tops. 8)
