Good morning from Madarao.


Snow alert!


Yes, I am measuring a good 30cm this morning with snow still falling now. Perhaps due to ease off somewhat later and tomorrow, but there is more on them there forecasts for Sunday and then again Tuesday Wednesday. So the potential for regular fresh is looking good.


(Though perhaps keep an eye on Sunday as it is forecast to be a little milder and there is a chance of rain. Lets hope we can avoid that).


For now though, should be an excellent morning.
