At 13:00, we were on the summit of Beinn Bheula, (779 metres,
NS155983) as the CF passed through.

Visibility dropped from about 100 metres to about 25 metres with
driving snow and wind sufficiently strong for us to be clutching one
another for support. Initially, our route off the summit took us
straight into the wind which made life mildly interesting as high
speed, horizontal snow flakes pack quite a punch when hitting the
eyeball.

Alan,

It seems to have snowed at heights above 450m, decreasing to 200m behind the
front. Nenthead was quite white before sunset, however Howhill showed
nothing lying, just 40m or so lower.

Glad you are here to tell the story, but did you read the forecast !?
