Morning all!


Some lovely flakes of snow falling this morning. And while the resort is reporting 20cm, I am measuring 27cm. And counting. It's due for the day, perhaps less so this afternoon.


Limited visibility though so there's not much to see other than those lovely flakes falling against a grey/silver kind of soupy background.


It's a very cold morning too with a moderate northerly blowing around.


Calmer and clearer tomorrow? And rather warm due on Sunday. With the fresh from today, if you are choosing one of the weekend days, I'd go with Saturday.


Hope you come to enjoy it.
