Posted on Monday 11th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


10-15cm of fresh snow is being reported by Madarao this morning and the day has started with light snow continuing to fall though that isn't expected to continue for long. Clearing up is the more likely.


It's keeping quite cold this morning so the conditions out there should be pretty good this morning.


And there will be less people around now that we are on the last day of the long weekend. Especially by this afternoon expect things to be something more like a normal weekday, and then of course we'll be back into the normal weekday routine from tomorrow.


Can't help but feel looking at the forecast that it has been somewhat 'downgraded' in terms of likely snowfall in the next week. Hmmm.


Anyway, good for this morning!
