Good morning.
And good news I have!
This morning the ski area is reporting 40cm of fresh snow on upper areas of the mountain. And there's nearly 30cm down at base too. Excellent. It's still not too cold, so the snow isn't quite peak season quality, but it is most welcome all the same. This snow has all come since the evening yesterday.
As you look at the calendar you can't help but feel this might be the last significant snowfall of the season.
Light snow, cloud and perhaps some sun at times tomorrow.
