Posted on Sunday 18th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Fine weather in the morning yesterday with clouds appearing early afternoon and then some snow falling.
Madarao isn't reporting any snowfall but I measured 4cm.
We need much more than that to get a meaningful reset, of course, and everyone still looking towards the forecasts that say we should get that from Tuesday onwards.
Limited to poor visibility early on today. Take care out there, not the friendliest of conditions.
