Good morning.


I am happy to report some snow on the ground this morning. Just 5cm but that is most definitely 5cm better than 0cm! And definitely better than the bit of rain we got last night. Let's try to forget that bit.


Still, I can't explain why the official snow depth has jumped up so much this morning. (Interesting timing - see below).


It's quite windy out there this morning.


More snow coming. Co-ordinated snow dance everyone, please!
