Posted on Friday 18th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Not as much snow as we were told to expect, but around 15-20cm all the same. There's a bit of wind this morning and visibility is rather limited with continued snow. We're expecting the snow to ease off during today and a mostly cloudy (possibly some clearer conditions) tomorrow.


It should be back to snow on Sunday and the forecast is looking rather tasty. (By that I mean, big snow potential!)
