Colder Weather on the Way Later this Month?

The detail below is a straight copy from Metcheck

If this forecast materialises we will have some great conditions on Ben Nevis. Watch this space and more pictures to come tomorrow, hopefully.

..."However it would seem initially that any high pressure will bring some pleasantly warm spring days across England and Wales into next week, it's beyond mid-month that has some concern. We discussed a week or so ago that even though March is classed as a spring month it can often bring some cold and wintry-like conditions, this is now looking a possibility beyond the middle of the month. Long range forecast data including forecasting ensemble products are showing the potential for North-westerly or Northerly winds to bring an abrupt return to winter-like conditions. There is little or no confidence in any detail at the moment, but the risk is there for a markedly colder period of weather beyond the middle of the month"....

This week has been pretty good on Ben Nevis with ascents of Rubicon Wall, Observatory Buttress Direct, Hadrian's Direct, N.E.Buttress, Tower Ridge, Diana and Two-Step Corner amongst others. We climbed Golden Oldy today on Aonach Mor West Face and it was very good if somewhat windy. N.E. Ridge of Aonach Beag and other climbs in that location all looked complete.
