Posted on Wednesday 11th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


What a beautiful morning it is.


Ski area reporting 10cm since yesterday so there's some fresh to play in.


We are expecting things to warm up over the coming days, of course, but it was a cold start to the day today. Hopefully it won't warm up much today. Friday and Saturday look like they'll be the peak for that silliness.


I am happy to see on forecasts that from Sunday onwards it will be getting colder again and fresh snow is due.


In the meantime, for the next few days, let's enjoy the sunshine.
