Hello Madarao fans!


Cloud and very light snow slowly falling from the skies this morning over Madarao, though it may well be starting to clear. Visibility is OK out there so early tracks should be good.


The whole region looks like it will be experiencing some rather sudden warm conditions tomorrow which isn't great but it shouldn't be lasting for too long with a return to snowfall due on Friday. There's a chance of some rain in there too before the snow comes back.


Let's hope that there'll be a nice fresh layer of snow waiting for people planning to be here for the weekend.
