It was pretty surprising to look out of the window this morning and see the village painted white yet again! The snow did not settle on the roads, which are too warm, but it has settled on everything else. The snow fall has eased up and is now just the odd flake, however I would expect it to be snowing at the top of the resort. It is high cloud today and visibility is reasonably good. Town temperatures will be cool all day with a high of around 5c expected.
