Morning from Madarao.
The ski area was reporting 10cm of fresh snow a little earlier, and that's my measurement too.
It's snowing and we have limited visibility with a noticeable wind as well. Be extra careful out there this morning.
This week is going to be an important one. Hopefully one that transforms everything.
I'm excited at the thought.
