Default Worst ever Scottish Ski Resort Season?

The Cairngorms will get very little snow from an unstable WNW'ly as they are too far from the coast and also lie in the precipitation shadow of the NW Highlands. An unstable E or NE'ly is much better, if less common, but the main source of snow will be from frontal situations. Interestingly, both these latter two weather types are on offer over the next few days so I wouldn't be surprised to see sufficient skiable snow by the weekend.

Fair points as far as Cairngorm is concerned. I had a quick look at the GFS precipitation forecasts, Glenshee & Cairngorm look set to get some snow, if probably not particularly heavy.

Rather a more depressing continuing lack of snow forecast for Nevis & Glencoe, though forecasts are only forecasts, reality can be very different.

Meanwhile, in Cornwall it's very wet. http://magicseaweed.com/Live-Sennen-Webcam/65/

Forgot about tonight, when the higher runs could get a fair bit.
