Posted on Thursday 11th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


The early morning snow yesterday didn't really amount to much.


Forecasts are looking promising for quite a lot of a snow across the next week, particularly on Saturday and then again Monday/Tuesday. It would be great if we could get a few good days of consistent moderate to heavy snow.


For today, though, there is some cloud about this morning but we'll probably get sun. (Maybe quite a lot of it).
