Posted on Monday 22nd February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Some icy conditions yesterday but we do have some fresh snow this morning here in Madarao, I'm happy to report.


There was 3cm of snow on the top of my car and the resort is reporting 5cm of fresh this morning. We could do with more than that, but we'll take it and it will have improved things. It is definitely good to feel a real chill in the air as well this morning and it should be getting colder mid week as well back to mid-winter like temperatures.


Snow isn't expected today - cloud is forecast for the day - with more snow due around Wednesday and then the end of the week (which is still looking rather promising, keep an eye on that!)


Back to a normal Monday so it should be quite quiet out there.
