Geto greetings to you.
Some snow and lots of wind again yesterday making it difficult to know how much snow actually feel. More in some places than others, it's one of those days.
The ski area has reported 13cm top and I am adding 7cm.
It is... you guessed it, snowy and quite windy this morning, though visibility is fairly decent at the moment.
Forecasts still indicate the chance of break in the snow/clouds across the coming days.
