Posted on Wednesday 17th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Yesterday I said that it should be a good morning - and it most certainly was. Beautiful weather to be outside sliding down the snow.


We're back to snow this morning. Just a few cm so far, but there's a good chance of build-up during the day today, so look forward to reporting on that tomorrow morning. The snow is really coming down now as I write this actually, so looking good.


Tomorrow and maybe Friday too we'll probably have fine clear and sunny skies above us once again so if we can get a decent amount of snow in today, tomorrow should be great timing to be here.
