Morning from Madarao.


Rain turned to snow and the ski area is reporting 15cm of fresh this morning... I've actually measured more than that! Not the fluffiest of snow, but we'll very gladly take it! Let's have more of it.


As far as I can tell, Tangram remains open this morning.


Winds forecast for today.


Clearer skies probably due tomorrow.
