Posted on Monday 13th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Morning from Madarao on this last day of the long weekend.


A thin layer of snow on the ground this morning and as I write this limited visibility as the mountain is covered in the clouds.. some blue sky was on show in some directions a bit earlier on. So we have some changeable looks going on this morning but we are hoping for light (or more) snowfall through the day today.


Trying to make sense of the forecasts and stuff this year seems almost like a waste of time. This first chunk of the season is certainly being very... strange. I think most of us are just yearning for 'normal' right now. That would be good.


Anyway, got to play in what we got so let's do that!
