There is a light dusting of snow on the ground and it is snowing very lightly with fine snow flakes. Yesterday was tropical again and has had an effect on the snow on the lower slopes and all around the village. On slope conditions will be a bit frosty on the lower slopes, but okay higher up. There is low cloud this morning and the start of -4c will head up to +1c by midday. It sure feels like spring has arrived early and this warmer weather is forecast to stay through until next week.
