Yesterday was spring. This morning, more like winter again.
Fresh snowfall! Resort says 15cm of fresh, I had to move 5-10cm off the car. Oh yes, I like the sound of that. At -5 degrees, it's a full 18 degrees difference since yesterday. Which is pretty wild when you think about it.
Anyway, it's still snowing but due to clear up perhaps even this morning and tomorrow will be back to sunny and warmer according to the forecasts.
Should be nice out there this morning, especially compared with recent conditions.
The last blast of winter? Very possibly.
