It is snowing moderately and the overall weather today will be snow. The forecast is for the snow to ease around midday for a few hours then resume late afternoon. There is no wind and visibility is okay. Since yesterday there is 10cm of new snow on the ground in the village. It is -13c at the moment and the day high will reach -7c.
