Morning from Madarao.
It's very good to see a layer of fresh snow on the ground this morning. The ski area is reporting 15cm, and I have slightly under that at my measuring point.
Visibility looks fairly decent at the start of the day, maybe more limited at the top.
Clearer skies will probably be the main thing over the weekend, with the first chance of further (proper) snow approaching the middle of next week.
