The Metform 215 today spelt wrong day for crossing Scottish high ground. I was about to cross the Cairngorms myself southbound in a light aircraft but thought better of it and stayed indoors. The downdraughts the terrain produces there is bad enough without +TS and +SHSN thrown in to the mix. Although isolated, these storms were passing violently for 10mins every hour nearby the area in question.
