Happy New Year!
OK, I will admit it. I have a bit of a (self-inflicted) headache this morning. That wine was very yummy, and the time with friends was fun. Good times in good places.
It is a lovely New Years Day morning. Rather bright (...see above!), with a lot of blue sky and a little cloud.
Those heading out to the slopes will be rewarded with nice fresh snow conditions and some beautiful scenery too.
Ski areas are reporting up to about 20-30cm of fresh on the mountains. A few odd (lack of) numbers out there too, but perhaps the people involved also have headaches. ;)
Let us hope that January is as good as December was. Nope, let's hope for even better... why not?!
Have a good day, everyone.
