No news is good news?

For those of you waiting on news of the slip at Knockando, well, there's no news really. Since it happened, we have hardly seen the area without snow cover in order to be able to assess the problem. A slow thaw of our second extraordinary dump of snow this winter has now set in - some places had even more than over Christmas and New Year, and very much determined by altitude. Higher parts have had around 3 feet (90 cm) this time, plus drifts to twice that. For the second time this winter I have found my self saying that that I have never in my life seen so much snow!
Anyway, it appears that the slip has not moved much since we saw it originally, so we are now optimistic that a serious collapse may not actually take place. We'll try to keep you posted.
