A member of the Belgian (Flemish) weather discussion group has told me in an
e-mail that it was snowing in the Cairngorms on Friday. Can anyone confirm
this ? How unusual would snowfall be on the highest Scottish peaks in the
second half of June ?

People going hill walking on the big mountains in Scotland are advised
that it can snow in *any* month of the year and to pack accordingly.
The Cairngorms are over 4,000 tall and all it takes is a northerly (as
we've had recently) to produce it.
