Posted on Wednesday 23rd March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Winter isn't giving up just quite yet.


There's lots of cloud around this morning and some light snow falling with a bit on the ground and the resort reporting up to 3cm as well.


The snow clouds may be over the region through tomorrow as well. Perhaps won't amount to much but perhaps we'll also have a nice (little) surprise. I will of course let you know how it goes.
