Morning.


Cloud around for much of yesterday though some spells of clearer skies and even a bit of sun.


There has been about 5cm of snowfall overnight and it is snowing lightly as I post this report. Hopefully we'll get more during the day today.


Beyond today, there's an increased chance of clearer skies for a few days --- keep cold please --- before more snow clouds bringing the goods from late Saturday.
