Winter rolls on with a nice dusting of 3cm of fresh snow this morning. It will be a spring snow day with the temperature already in the positives. With mostly cloudy sky the sun will be partially blocked so the snow shouldn't soften and go slushy too much in the morning. And even better news lies ahead...heavy snow forecast tonight!
