Good news!


We have a nice new layer of fresh snow, slightly over 20cm with about half of that coming overnight, the rest mostly in the afternoon yesterday. It feels cold as well this morning with temperatures well below zero.


There's not much of a wind and snow continues to fall with visibility fair to limited as you go higher up. Forecasts seem to show the chance of some clearer weather later.


I think it should be a good morning.
