Hold on a minute!
It's sunny with quite a bit of blue sky. And hardly any snow since yesterdays report. In fact the ski area is reporting 0cm. I can just about cheekily justify the 1cm in this report.
That feels weird.
OK so heavy snow over the weekend, right? Looks likely, but snow dances suggested.
