Well, not as much as I would have hoped to report this morning with just 5cm but the heavier snow is still due today and tomorrow. So come on down!


It's a colder morning and it is snowing now (after a clearer early morning), so fingers crossed I'll be able to report those deep conditions tomorrow.


The coming snowfall is forecast to ease off on Sunday, so if you prefer snow not actually falling when you're out there sliding on it, that might be the day to choose.
