It's shaping up to be a beautiful day out there today, with plenty of sun making its way through those clouds, bringing along with it more then enough Spring-like temperatures. It looks like we are poised to break the freezing mark today with a forecast high around 3 above. Lingering cloud cover may look threatening, but it doesn't look like we will be seeing too much in the way of appreciable precipitation on this fine Sunday.
We got about 15cm of snow yesterday, and there is still some of that to be had up on the slopes. Tomorrow looks like it's going to continue the warming trend, with rain in the forecast for later in the day. If you're going to get out there and take advantage of great March skiing, it looks like today is your day to do it.
