Good morning and Happy New Year!


And what a start. After the festivities and frolicks of last night (I'm just presuming there were lots!), it's a clean slate once again as we enter a new year. And what better than 20cm of fresh snow to help us celebrate. And clearing blue skies as well. And some good cold conditions to keep it all in check.


Nice.


The early morning clouds have quite quickly started to make an exit leaving us with what we have now and it should be a great morning.


There's more sun than snow on the forecast for the next 3-4 days and from tomorrow in particularly temperatures are going to go up and venture into positive numbers - expect a high of around 4-5 degrees during the daytime. Mid week should see a return to colder conditions.
