Posted on Monday 1st February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Light snow falling from early this morning up here with about 4cm so far with hopefully more building up this morning.


Madarao Kogen is reporting 5cm of fresh as of 7am. The snow may continue this morning but will probably stop by this afternoon. After that it's still looking likely that the new snowfall to expect (more than sprinklings anyway) is on Friday. It should be keeping quite cold through the week though so conditions should be keeping pretty decent.


If you like a clear sunny day, Thursday is the day to target this week according to the forecasts.


February already, can you believe it? Time just goes too fast.
