Good morning from Madarao.
Some more snow this morning with the resort reporting 5cm and me measuring a bit more. There is a lot of cloud around this morning, but the sun is making it through some clouds at the moment. The forecast appears to point to cloud with the chance of clearer skies at times for the day today. Same forecasts call for snow to return for the day tomorrow.
It is Chinese New Year today so happy Chinese New Year to visitors to our region for their holidays.
It'll be a busy weekend so I recommend and early start tomorrow.
