Posted on Saturday 20th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Morning from Madarao where it's just cloudy early on.


No new snow to report and it's going to be another of the milder days today.


Unfortunately, it is probably going to rain later on, but it will be turning into snow hopefully by the end of the day today and I might be able to report new cm of snow on the ground in my report tomorrow.


Looking at the forecast it seems we can expect snowfall most days through the coming week with the best chance of decent snowfall being around Tuesday-Wednesday. Before and after that it might just be light snow that doesn't really give us much in terms of cm.


We'll see!


Fireworks scheduled for tonight after nighta at Madarao Kogen.
