Hello and good morning to you from Madarao.


Light snow this morning and feeling cold.


This morning the ski area is reporting 10cm of fresh snow (since last night), but I have measured more than that since yesterday morning. Not a huge amount but hopefully we shall get some more today.


From tomorrow there's some sun on the forecast along with a mild weekend, temperatures dipping again come Tuesday. Up and down. Let's hope the 'down' bits keep fighting and win out for as long as possible!
