Storm Bert: Snow Forecast for Scottish ski resorts

A dramatic shift in weather patterns is set to unfold this weekend. Storm Bert, the second named storm of the season, is poised to sweep across the nation, bringing a potent mix of heavy snowfall, strong winds, and torrential rain. For snow enthusiasts and Scottish ski resorts, this storm could be something to watch closely, potentially delivering substantial snowfall to higher elevations.

The past week has treated the UK to it's first proper taste of winter, with Arctic air ushering in crisp, clear days and snowfall causing disruption in some areas. However, as Storm Bert approaches, things are about to change. The Met Office has issued an amber warning for snow and ice in central Scotland, where accumulations of 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) are possible on higher ground. This significant snowfall could be a boon for Scottish ski resorts, potentially kick-starting their season earlier than expected.
