Good morning from Madarao.


Around 10cm of snowfall this morning with snow continuing to fall. I feel it could do with being a bit colder, but of course great that snow is falling.


Some forecasts say we should be in the receiving end of a fair amount by tomorrow, with maybe a break in the clouds during the day tomorrow too. We shall see!


(In error, I left the 'night skiing today' note on the report. Sorry!)
