Morning.


Just over 10cm of snowfall since yesterday morning.


It has been a cold start but the sun is out and shining through my window. Blue sky with some cloud. A beautiful morning to be out on the slopes.


We might receive some snow later this afternoon/evening, though beyond that the next seems due Saturday night and Sunday. I like it when forecasts use the words 'heavy snow'. Let it be!


The ski areas will be opening up more as soon as possible. I would be surprised if there weren't changes for the weekend.
