An early report this morning as I just needed to share the news. Snow! Yes, we thought it might all be over with all this warm stuff of the last week or so, but temperatures did indeed drop right down yesterday and this morning there's close to 20cm of new on the slopes of Madarao.


Apparently a different of 16C since yesterday. Wow.


-8 being reported by the resort.


The mind boggles.


But it means that while it may not completely cover the more, er, icy conditions we had, there will certainly be much improved conditions out there this morning.


It should be up and down this week. Tomorrow expected to be much warmer again, then back to colder from Wednesday.
